Tremors, seizures and central lesions are common manifestations of acute cyanide poisonings [l]. Our laboratory recently reported that cyanide-induced tremors may be related to alterations in neuronal regulation of intracellular calcium [2, 3]. Cyanide produces accumulation of cytosolic Caz+ as a result of decreased availability of ATP which is necessary for maintenance of energy-dependent calcium homeostatic processes. Elevated cytosolic Ca*+ can induce the release of neurotransmitters, leading to generalixed CNS excitation manifested as convulsions or tremors. The inhibitory actions of barbiturates on neurotransmitter release [4], as well as other calcium-dependent neuronal processes, have been established [5, 6]. The ability of pentobarbital to decrease the incidence of cyanideinduced convulsions has been-reported [7], but a more detailed study has not been conducted. The objective of this study was to characterixe the effect of pentobarbital on cyanide-induced tremors in mice and to correlate these efforts with cyanide accumulation of cytosolic Ca2+ in PC12
