barbital and Porphyria, Acute Intermittent

barbital has been researched along with Porphyria, Acute Intermittent in 2 studies

5,5-diethylbarbituric acid : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by two ethyl groups. Formerly used as a hypnotic (sleeping aid).

Porphyria, Acute Intermittent: An autosomal dominant porphyria that is due to a deficiency of HYDROXYMETHYLBILANE SYNTHASE in the LIVER, the third enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME. Clinical features are recurrent and life-threatening neurologic disturbances, ABDOMINAL PAIN, and elevated level of AMINOLEVULINIC ACID and PORPHOBILINOGEN in the urine.

A comparative study in liver and kidney. ( Batlle, AM; Buzaleh, AM; Lavandera, JV, 2007)
" ALA-S activity was induced by acute administration of anaesthetics (89%), veronal (240%) and ethanol (80%), while ALA-S mRNA expression augmented by chronic administration of enflurane, AIA and veronal."1.33Heme oxygenase, aminolevulinate acid synthetase and the antioxidant system in the brain of mice treated with porphyrinogenic drugs.
