Barbital, the one of the series of barbiturates, has hypnotic, sedative, and anticonvulsant properties and used under the trade name Veronal. It calmed manic patients and helped melancholic patients to sleep and was an effective inducer of sleep in insomniacs, but at the same time compound could induced dependence. It was substituted by the butyl analog, butobarbital, which was three times stronger and its period of action was much shorter due to its lipophilicity. Barbital is a ligand of GABA-receptor complex and in addition, it could have another target, a creatine kinase.

It was reported the action of sodium barbital as an inhibitor of rabbit-muscle creatine kinase (CK), which plays a significant role in energy homeostasis in the muscles. The activity of CK underwent a rapid decrease when the concentration of sodium barbital was increased to 8 mmol/L, and the residual activity was about 35% of then active CK. The activity of CK dropped slowly until it was almost 0 when the concentration of sodium barbital was increased to 125 mmol/L. These results indicated that sodium barbital might function as an inhibitor of CK.
