Some of the ultrashort-acting barbiturates are hexobarbital (Sombulex), methohexital (Brevital), thiamylal (Surital), and thiopental (Pentothal). 16 CH3 o-Toluidine N CH3 CH3 N O Methaqualone Clandestine laboratory synthesis of methaqualone. barbital (Seconal), and amobarbital (Amytal). These three drugs have been among the most abused barbituric acid derivatives. Also included in these categories but not as abused are butabarbital (Butisol), talbutal (Lotusate), and aprobarbital (Alurate). The last category is the long-acting barbiturates.
