A Novel Method for Determination of Cyclobenzaprine in the Different Matrixes by UHPLC-DAD: Application to Real Human Plasma and Pharmaceutical Formulations

This study presents a novel and efficient method for determining of cyclobenzaprine (CBP) in human plasma and tablets using simple liquid-liquid microextraction and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-diode-array detector. The developed method was optimized and validated for selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of deionized water containing 0.1% TFA and methanol (30:70, v:v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The extraction process provided high-efficiency recovery of CBP with a small plasma volume (%94.3). The method showed good linearity within the concentration range of 0.005-10 & mu;g/mL, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The LOD and LOQ values were found to be 0.0013 and 0.005 & mu;g/mL, respectively. The intra- and inter-day %RSD were <8%, and %RE were ranged from -0.50 to 0.01%. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of CBP in real human plasma samples and tablets, indicating its applicability in clinical and pharmaceutical research. In conclusion, the simple, low cost, high sensitivity and rapid nature of this method make it an attractive option for the quantification of CBP in human plasma and pharmaceutical dosage forms.
