Abstract

Cyclobenzaprine (CBP) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant whose myriad of therapeutic applications imply the need of better understanding its pharmacokinetics and thermodynamics. Henceforth, this work was concerned with an in silico investigation of CBP main metabolizers in the human organism, namely CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. For this purpose, computational methods were employed, such as molecular docking and other semi-empirical approaches. Results evidenced that the model herein depicted for CBP-CYP1A2 may not reproducibly represent the physiological interaction between CBP and this enzyme. Moreover, CBP-CYP3A4 docking results evidence thermodynamic feasibility of the molecular docking model and were further corroborated by literature, what may reproducibly represent a possible interaction between CBP and this macromolecule.
