Sign in to saveAlso known as Mebutamatum, 2-sec-Butyl-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate, 2-Methyl-2-sec-butyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate, 2,2-Dicarbamyloxymethyl-3-methylpentane, 2-sec-Butyl-2-methylpropane-1,3-diyl dicarbamate, Dicamoylmethtane, Mebutamato
Mebutamate (Capla, Dormate) is an anxiolytic and sedative drug with antihypertensive effects of the carbamate class. It has effects comparable to those of barbiturates such as secobarbital, but is only around 1/3 the potency of secobarbital as a sedative. Side effects include dizziness and headaches.

Mebutamate (Capla, Dormate) is an anxiolytic and sedative drug with antihypertensive effects of the carbamate class. It has effects comparable to those of barbiturates such as secobarbital, but is only around 1/3 the potency of secobarbital as a sedative. Side effects include dizziness and headaches.
Mebutamate is one of many GABAergic drugs which act via allosteric agonism of the GABAA receptor at the β-subreceptor similar to barbiturates. In contrast, benzodiazepines act at the α-subreceptor. As such, carbamates and barbiturates, possess analgesic properties while the benzodiazepine class of drugs are strictly psychoactive.
