Bioactivity | Cyclobenzaprine N-oxide is the tertiary amine metabolite of Cyclobenzaprine (HY-B0740) in liver particles. Cyclobenzaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant and is active on the central nervous system. The liver cytosol from liver particles has reductase activity that can reduce Cyclobenzaprine N-oxide to the corresponding amine[1][2][3]. |
