A specific, fast and sensitive LC–MS/MS assay was d e- veloped for the determination of cyclobenzaprine in hu- man plasma using imipramine as the internal standar d (IS). The limit of quantification was 0.05 ng/mL and the method was linear in the range of 0.05 to 50 ng/mL. The cyclobenzaprine and IS retention times were 2.74±0. 2 min and 2.69±0.2 min, respectively. Method intra-batch precision and accuracy ranged fr om 2.90 to 9.72%, and 91.63 to 107.33%, respectively. Inter- batch precision ranged from 3.37 to 10.27%, while I nter- batch accuracy ranged from 96.13 to 106.10%. The an a- lytical method was applied to evaluate the pharmaco ki- netic and relative bioavailability of two different pharma- ceutical formulations containing cyclobenzaprine, o ne test tablet containing 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine plus 60 mg of caffeine (Miosan ® /cafeine) and the reference..
