Sodium 5-(2-methylthioethyl)-5-(1-methylbutyl)-2-thiobarbiturate is a compound in which the ethyl group in Thiopental Sodium has been substituted with a 2-methythioethyl group and can be prepared as Thiopental Sodium, in about the same yield. This compound shows methionine action in vivo by the formation of methionine. It is said to be more rapid in effect than Thiopental Sodium as an intravenous anesthetic and its pharmacological action is now being examined.
