pentobarbital and Muscle Relaxation

pentobarbital has been researched along with Muscle Relaxation in 17 studies

Pentobarbital: A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p236)
pentobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and sec-pentyl groups.

Muscle Relaxation: That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position.

( Cross, AJ; Green, AR; Misra, A; Murray, TK; Snape, MF, 1996)
"The effects of chronic administration of phencyclidine (PCP) or CGS 19755 (cis-4-phosphonomethyl-2-piperidine-carboxylic acid) on the cataleptic effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists were studied in pigeons."1.28Tolerance to the cataleptic effect of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists in pigeons: cross-tolerance between PCP-like compounds and competitive NMDA antagonists.

" PB shifted the dose-response curve for GABA in the presence of bicuculline methochloride to the left without altering the slope or the dose ratio, and not only displaced the dose-response curve for GABA in the presence of picrotoxinin but also restored the slope and the maximum response towards that of the control GABA-induced response."1.27Potentiation of GABAA-receptor-mediated responses by barbiturates in the guinea-pig ileum. ( Kerr, DI; Ong, J, 1984)
"Pentobarbital was found to inhibit both the spontaneous mechanical activity and the basal tone of these vessels."1.26Effect of pentobarbital on the reactivity of isolated human cerebral arteries. ( Benitez, J; Lobato, RD; Marín, J; Rico, ML; Salaices, M, 1981)
"Pentobarbital and Sulpiride produce a biphasyc effect of opposite sign: at small doses Pentobarbital increases the stretch response while Sulpiride reduces it."1.26[Action of some psychotropic drugs on the electrmyographic response evoked by stretches of the gastrocnemius muscle of rats submitted to stress].
