	== ~~History~~ ==		[[File:Butallylonal_structure.svg\|thumb\|right\|Chemical structure of Butallylonal]]

			'''Butallylonal''' is a [[barbiturate]] derivative that was developed in the early 20th century. It is known for its [[sedative]] and [[hypnotic]] properties, which made it useful in the treatment of [[insomnia]] and as a [[pre-anesthetic]] agent. Like other barbiturates, Butallylonal works by depressing the [[central nervous system]].

			== Chemical Properties ==

	Butallylonal ~~was first synthesized in the 1920s~~ as ~~part~~ of a ~~series~~ of ~~barbiturate derivatives~~. ~~It was used in~~ the ~~mid-20th century as an anesthetic for surgical procedures. However,~~ its ~~use has declined due to the development of safer and more effective anesthetics~~.		Butallylonal is chemically classified as a [[barbiturate]], which is a class of drugs derived from [[barbituric acid]]. The chemical structure of Butallylonal includes a [[pyrimidine]] ring, which is characteristic of barbiturates. The presence of various substituents on the ring structure influences its pharmacological activity.

	== Pharmacology ==		== Pharmacology ==

	~~As a barbiturate, butallylonal~~ acts as a [[~~GABA~~]] ~~agonist, increasing~~ the activity of ~~this inhibitory~~ neurotransmitter in the ~~brain. This results in a decrease in nerve activity~~, leading to ~~sedation~~ and ~~a decrease in anxiety. In higher doses, butallylonal can induce anesthesia~~.		Butallylonal acts as a [[central nervous system]] depressant. It enhances the activity of the [[gamma-aminobutyric acid]] (GABA) neurotransmitter by binding to the [[GABA_A receptor]], which increases the duration of [[chloride ion]] channel opening, leading to hyperpolarization of the neuron and decreased neuronal activity.

	== ~~Medical uses~~ ==		=== Mechanism of Action ===

	~~Historically, butallylonal was used as an anesthetic for surgical procedures~~. ~~It was also used~~ to ~~treat [[insomnia]] and [[anxiety]] disorders. However~~, ~~it is not commonly used in modern medicine due to~~ the ~~risk~~ of ~~[[addiction]]~~ and ~~the development of safer alternatives~~.		The primary mechanism of action of Butallylonal is through potentiation of GABAergic transmission. By binding to the GABA_A receptor, Butallylonal increases the inhibitory effects of GABA, leading to sedation and hypnosis.

	== ~~Side effects~~ ==		=== Clinical Uses ===

	~~The side effects of butallylonal are similar to those~~ of ~~other barbiturates. They include drowsiness, dizziness,~~ and ~~confusion~~. ~~In higher doses~~, ~~butallylonal can cause respiratory depression~~, ~~coma, and death~~.		Historically, Butallylonal was used as a [[sedative]] and [[hypnotic]] for the treatment of [[insomnia]] and as a [[pre-anesthetic]] medication. However, due to the development of safer alternatives, its use has declined.

	== ~~See also~~ ==		== Side Effects ==

			Common side effects of Butallylonal include [[drowsiness]], [[dizziness]], and [[ataxia]]. In higher doses, it can cause [[respiratory depression]], [[hypotension]], and [[coma]].

			== History ==

			Butallylonal was first synthesized in the early 20th century as part of the development of barbiturate drugs. It was used clinically for several decades before being largely replaced by [[benzodiazepines]] and other [[non-barbiturate]] sedatives.
