CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Physical Description Solid
Color/Form Crystals from alcohol
Odor Practically odorless
Melting Point 129.5 °C
Solubility 679 mg/L (at 25 °C)
LogP 2.1
LogS -2.52
Stability/Shelf Life Aqueous solutions of pentobarbital sodium are not stable, and solutions for injection should not be used if they contain a precipitate. The drug is more stable in propylene glycol, and this vehicle is used as a solvent in commercially available injections. Solutions of pentobarbital sodium should not be added to acidic solutions because precipitation of pentobarbital may occur. Pentobarbital sodium suppositories should be stored at 2-8 °C.
Decomposition When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitric oxide/.
Dissociation Constants 8.11 (at 25 °C)
Kovats Retention Index 1740 1711 1716 1711.5 1716 1740 1740 1740 1720 1732 1763 1720 1721 1733 1770 1730 1730 1730 1735 1740 1760 1765 1719 1737 1729.7 1733.1 1740 1706 1721 1740 1720 1780 1740 1730 1740 1765 1741 1730 1739 1750 1758 1750 1740 1740 293.65 295.45
Other Experimental Properties The pK values of the hypnotically active barbituric acids range between 7.78 and 8.30. Disubstituted barbituric acids are present, to ca. 50 %, in the undissociated form under physiological conditions (pH 7.4). Only this form of the drug can pass through biological membranes. The degree of dissociation is strongly influenced by slight alterations in pH.
