Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride Usage And Synthesis

Description

Cyclobenzaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant that also has sedative properties. It has been shown to antagonize muscarinic receptors (K_is = 25, 60, and 6 nM for M₁, M₂, and M₃, respectively), serotonin 5-HT₂ receptors (K_is = 56 and 330 nM for 5-HT_2C and 5-HT_2B, respectively), and histamine H₁ receptor (IC₅₀ = 20 nM).

Chemical Properties

Crystalline Solid

Originator

Flexeril,Merck Sharp andDohme,US,1977

Uses

Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride has been used to study its effect on the muscles of dystrophin-deficient mdx5Cv mice.

Uses

Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride can be used as a serotonin receptor inhibitor.

Uses

Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride cam be used as muscle relaxant (skeletal).

Definition

ChEBI: The hydrochloride salt of cyclobenzaprine. A centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant, it is used in the symptomatic treatment of painful muscle spasm.

Manufacturing Process

In an initial step, dibenzo [a,d]cyclohepten-5-one is reacted with the Grignardreagent of 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride and hydrolyzed to give 5-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-dibenzo[a,d][1,4]cycloheptatriene-5-ol. Then 13 g ofthat material, 40 ml of hydrochloric acid, and 135 ml of glacial acetic acid isrefluxed for 3? hours. The solution is then evaporated to dryness in vacuoand added to ice water which is then rendered basic by addition of ammoniumhydroxide solution. Extraction of the basic solution with chloroform andremoval of the solvent from the dried chloroform extracts yields the crudeproduct which when distilled in vacuo yields essentially pure 5-(3-dimethylaminopropylidene)-dibenzo[a,d][1,4]cycloheptatriene, BP 173°C to177°C at 1.0 mm.

brand name

Flexeril (McNeil).

Therapeutic Function

Muscle relaxant

General Description

Cyclobenzaprine is a tricyclic agent, which has anti-depressant and anti-cholinergic properties. It lowers the tonic somatic motor activity of motor neuron systems. Cyclobenzaprine prevents the uptake of?noradrenaline. It is used to treat neck,?back and myofascial pain. Cyclobenzaprine functions as a nerve impulse inhibitor.
