Route of Exposure Oral (T742); Parenteral (T742); Rectal (T742).
Mechanism of Action Secobarbital binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore at the GABAA receptor, increasing the duration of time for which the Cl- ionopore is open. The post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus is, therefore, prolonged.

Health Effects Secobarbital causes slurred speech, disorientation and "drunken" behavior. It is physically and psychologically addictive.
Symptoms Symptoms of Secorbital overdose include confusion (severe); decrease in or loss of reflexes; drowsiness (severe); fever; irritability (continuing); low body temperature; poor judgment; shortness of breath or slow or troubled breathing; slow heartbeat; slurred speech; staggering; trouble in sleeping; unusual movements of the eyes; weakness (severe).

Targets
  1. Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1
Target 1 [top]
Target 1 ID 36
Target 1 Name Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1
Target 1 Mechanism of Action Secobarbital binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore at the GABAA receptor, increasing the duration of time for which the Cl- ionopore is open. The post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus is, therefore, prolonged.
Target 1 Description GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel
