Hepatic, primarily by the hepatic microsomal enzyme system. About 75% of a single oral dose of mephobarbital is metabolized to phenobarbital in 24 hours.
The principal route of mephobarbital metabolism is N-demethylation by the liver to form phenobarbital. About 75% of a single oral dose of mephobarbital is converted to phenobarbital in 24 hours. Chronic administration of mephobarbital leads to accumulation of phenobarbital (not mephobarbital) in plasma. It has not been definitely determined whether mephobarbital contributes to the anticonvulsant effect or whether the metabolite, phenobarbital, is the only active agent during mephobarbital therapy. Phenobarbital may be excreted in the urine unchanged, as the p-hydroxyphenobarbital metabolite, or as glucuronide or sulfate conjugates. Alkalinization of the urine and/or increasing the urine flow substantially increases the rate of excretion of unchanged phenobarbital.
Barbiturates are slowly metabolized, chiefly by hepatic microsomal enzymes. Phenobarbital and probably other barbiturates induce hepatic microsomal enzymes and thus may accelerate metabolism of other concomitantly administered drugs metabolized by these enzymes. There is no conclusive evidence that barbiturates accelerate their own metabolism. /Barbiturates General Statement/
It has not been established whether mephobarbital, like phenobarbital, is a potent inducer of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of other drugs, but because the drug is chemically and pharmacologically similar to phenobarbital in addition to being metabolized to phenobarbital, this possibility is likely.
The stereoselectivity of the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of methylphenobarbital (MPB) was studied in six healthy adult male volunteers given single oral doses of the racemic drug. All of the volunteers were phenotypically extensive metabolizers of the drug. The R- and S-enantiomers of MPB were analyzed in plasma by an enantioselective HPLC method, and the enantiomers of the 4-hydroxy-MPB metabolite in urine by a similar procedure. The (R)-MPB was extensively hydroxylated, with an average of 49.56% of that enantiomer being recovered in urine as (R)-4-hydroxy-MPB. Only 7.16% of the (S)-MPB was converted to the corresponding hydroxy metabolite. The extensive hydroxylation of (R)-MPB resulted in rapid elimination of this enantiomer, with a terminal plasma half-life of 7.52 +/- 1.70 (SD) hr. The (S)-MPB, the only recognized metabolites of which were (S)-4-hydroxy-MPB and phenobarbital (PB), was eliminated very slowly [t1/2, 69.78 +/- 14.77 (SD) hr]. The oral clearance of (R)-MPB (0.470 +/- 0.184 (SD) liters/hr/kg) was much higher than that of (S)-MPB [0.017 +/- 0.001 (SD) liters/hr/kg]. The extreme differences in metabolic fate and pharmacokinetics of the enantiomers of MPB are interesting. Most of the circulating PB seemed to be derived from (S)-MPB. ...
Phenobarbital may decrease the half-life of doxycycline by inducing hepatic microsomal enzymes that metabolize the antibiotic. Concomitant administration of doxycycline and "barbiturates" should be avoided if possible. If concomitant therapy is necessary, doxycycline may be administered at 12-hour intervals and/or doxycycline concentrations should be closely monitored. /Barbiturates General Statement/
Pretreatment with or concurrent administration of phenobarbital in patients receiving oral contraceptives may decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. There have been reports of women receiving anticonvulsants (eg, phenobarbital) who became pregnant while receiving oral contraceptives. Phenobarbital may enhance the metabolism of both the estrogenic and progestinic components of oral contraceptives, presumably by induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes. Because of the risk of contraceptive failure during concomitant use of oral contraceptives and phenobarbital (or mephobarbital), it has been suggested that alternate methods of contraception be considered in patients receiving phenobarbital. /Barbiturates General Statement/
"Barbiturates" may potentiate adverse effects (e.g., respiratory depression) induced by toxic doses of tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline, imipramine). With therapeutic doses of tricyclic antidepressants, "barbiturates" appear to stimulate metabolism and decrease blood concentrations of the antidepressants; however, the clinical importance of this effect has not been established. /Barbiturates General Statement/
"Barbiturates", especially phenobarbital, may decrease absorption of dicumarol from the GI tract. In addition, phenobarbital and possibly other "barbiturates" may induce hepatic microsomal enzymes resulting in increased metabolism of coumarin anticoagulants and decreased anticoagulant response. Patients maintained on both "barbiturates" and a coumarin anticoagulant have a risk of hemorrhage if the barbiturate is discontinued and the dosage of the anticoagulant is not adjusted. Barbiturate therapy should not be initiated or discontinued in patients receiving oral anticoagulants without careful attention to the possible need for adjusting anticoagulant dosage.
A 38-yr-old woman who by history ingested 13 g methylphenobarbital, alcohol, and 6 g acetaminophen became comatose slowly over 4 days. Acute hepatic injury appeared to impair the oxidative N-demethylation of methylphenobarbital to its product, phenobarbital. On the eighth day after ingestion she was treated because of protracted coma with Amberlite XAD-4 resin hemoperfusion. Hemoperfusion, which removed 0.83 g methylphenobarbital and 2.10 g phenobarbital, led to transient clinical improvement. When supportive patient management fails to produce a satisfactory clinical course in a methylphenobarbital-intoxicated patient, hemoperfusion could be a useful adjunct to therapy.

Barbiturates are absorbed in varying degrees following oral, rectal, or im administration. The sodium salts are more rapidly absorbed by all routes of administration than are the acids. The rate of oral absorption is increased when the sodium salt is ingested as a dilute solution or taken on an empty stomach. Alcohol also enhances the rate of absorption, possibly by increasing blood flow through the gastric mucosa. /Barbiturates General Statement/
Following oral or rectal administration, the onset of action varies from ... 20-60 minutes for metharbital, mephobarbital, and phenobarbital. IM administration results in a slightly faster onset of action. Following iv administration of the sodium salts of amobarbital, pentobarbital, phenobarbital, or secobarbital, the onset of action ranges from almost immediately for methohexital, pentobarbital, and thiopental to 5 minutes for phenobarbital. Maximum effects of thiopental or pentobarbital are achieved within about 1 minute while as much as 30 minutes may be required with administration of phenobarbital. /Barbiturates General Statement/
The duration of sedative effects of all the barbiturates is usually 3-6 hours following iv administration and 6-8 hours when the drugs are administered by other routes. There appears to be very little difference in duration of hypnotic action among barbiturates used orally as hypnotics. Therefore, most authorities now believe that barbiturates should be classified according to their intended pharmacologic action (ie, sedative-hypnotic barbiturates and anesthetic barbiturates [methohexital, thiamylal (no longer commercially available in the US), thiopental]), rather than as long-acting (mephobarbital, metharbital, and phenobarbital), intermediate-acting (amobarbital and butabarbital), short-acting (aprobarbital, pentobarbital, and secobarbital), and ultrashort-acting (methohexital, thiopental). /Barbiturates General Statement/
