Product Description

Cyclobenzaprine HCl (also known as MK130; Flexeril), the hydrochloride salt of Cyclobenzaprine, is a potent muscle relaxant by blocking pain sensations, used as a medication for the treatment of skeletal muscle spasms and associated pain in acute musculoskeletal conditions. Cyclobenzaprine has a 62 nM Ki value and binds to 5-HT2 receptors strongly. Cyclobenzaprine has a Ki value of 2900 nM when it binds to the 5-HT1 receptor. The administration of cyclobenzaprine at a dose of 1 mg/kg resulted in a decrease in the discharge rate of 16 out of 21 spontaneously active neurons; two neurons exhibited no response, and three neurons showed an increased rate.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
5-HT2 receptor
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Cyclobenzaprine is an antagonist and inhibitor of the 5-HT2 receptor; in certain articles, cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride was employed as the compound for cyclobenzaprine research. The monosynaptic reflex (MSR) enhancement caused by 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) is inhibited by cyclobenzaprine. With a Ki value of 62 nM, cyclobenzaprine binds to 5-HT2 receptors very strongly. Cyclobenzaprine has a Ki value of 2900 nM when it binds to the 5-HT1 receptor.

ln Vivo
Cyclobenzaprine treatment raised the mono- and polysynaptic reflex amplitudes in rats receiving DOI therapy to roughly 150% of the control level. Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride (300 µg/kg, i.v.) dramatically decreased the amplitude of mono- and polysynaptic reflex potentials in intact (nonspinalized) rats. The maximum effect of cyclobenzaprine was achieved within 15 minutes of administration, and this effect lasted for more than 60 minutes. Cyclobenzaprine inhibited the amplitudes of the mono- and polysynaptic reflexes by approximately 20% and 40%, respectively. 5-HT depletion significantly inhibited the depression of mono- and polysynaptic reflex potentials in intact rats induced by cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride (300 µg/kg, i.v.). In control rats, the mono- and polysynaptic reflex amplitudes were reduced to approximately 40–50% of the preadministration value 15 minutes after cyclobenzaprine was administered.
Enzyme Assay
Cyclobenzaprine Hcl is a depressant of the central nervous system (CNS) and a relaxant of skeletal muscle. Target: Receptor 2A of 5-HT Cyclobenzaprine is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant as well as a skeletal muscle relaxant. Cyclobenzaprine was believed to be an agonist of alpha 2-adrenoceptors that decreased the activity of descending noradrenergic neurons, hence reducing muscle tone. The alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonists yohimbine and idazoxan did not block the dose-dependent reduction of the monosynaptic reflex amplitude caused by cyclobenzaprine. Cyclobenzaprine-induced monosynaptic reflex depression was not attenuated by noradrenergic neuronal lesions produced by 6-hydroxydopamine. Since clobenzaprine inhibits the serotonergic, not the noradrenergic, descending systems in the spinal cord, it has a muscle-relaxing effect. It is a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist.
Cell Assay
Cyclobenzaprine at a dose of 1 mg/kg reduced the discharge rate of 16 out of 21 spontaneously active neurons; two neurons did not respond, and three neurons showed an increase in the rate. Though it varied greatly, the decrease was always ≥ 25%. The decrease amounts were 100% in three cases. Under cyclobenzaprine, the cell response in every instance happened very soon after the MSR response.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
