Description

Dl-Secobarbital CAS NO 1219803-94-7 is a synthetic barbiturate derivative, a racemic mixture of the D- and L-isomers of secobarbital. This compound is primarily valued as a critical pharmaceutical reference standard and research chemical for analytical and developmental purposes. It is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, forensic analysis, and academic research sectors requiring high-purity materials for method validation, quality control, and pharmacological studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration of analytical instruments and the validation of testing methods (e.g., HPLC, GC-MS) in quality control laboratories.
• Forensic Toxicology: Serves as a certified reference material for the identification and quantification of barbiturates in biological samples for legal and medical investigations.
• Pharmacological Research: Employed in preclinical studies to investigate the sedative-hypnotic effects, metabolic pathways, and structure-activity relationships of barbiturate compounds.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of more complex barbiturate analogs and related heterocyclic compounds.
• Academic & Educational Use: Utilized in university and institutional laboratories for teaching analytical chemistry techniques and neuropharmacology principles.
• Method Development: Critical for developing and optimizing new analytical protocols in compliance with regulatory guidelines from agencies like the FDA and EMA.
