Hey guys,
I've been pondering about this for a long time. I've read various documentation on barbiturates, but never anything that would give me any reasonable conclusion as to what is the most toxic of the barbiturates.
If I were to take a wild guess, the most toxic barbiturate that was ever synthesized and commercially available would be pentobarbital. But I do believe there are other examples that may be even more toxic.
Another interesting question would be the opposite - that being what is the least toxic of the barbiturates. I've heard it on good authority that cyclobarbital is probably the least toxic, but that may be wrong.
Does anybody have any more information who can provide an authoritative answer? It's something that has fascinated me for a long time. This is the only group of drugs for which I have the least amount of knowledge at hand. For the most part I know a great deal about most drug classes, except barbiturates.
If anyone can chime in and provide some answers that would be great.
