Phenobarbital is a barbiturate derivative used to treat insomnia and anxiety, seizures, hyperbilirubinemia in neonates and cholestasis. Phenobarbital promotes binding to inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid subtype receptors, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels.

PK-11195 was first discovered by Pharmuka Laboratories. It was found to be antagonist of the Translocator Protein (TSPO) with potential for development in a number of conditions including cancer models, cardiac ischemia, seizures, depression, and anxiety. PK-11195 has been studied extensively in vitro and in animal models. In phase I clinical trials no anti-inchemic effects were found after drug administration. A tritium [3H] labeled and a C-11 labeled version of PK-11195 are both used diagnostically as PET imaging compounds.
