- Description
Also known as Vyvanse, lisdexamfetamine (L-lysine-d-amphetamine) is a prodrug of the psychostimulant d-amphetamine [4]. It is paired with the essential amino acid L-lysine. Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate increases attention span and decreases restlessness in children and adults who are overactive/hyperactive, cannot concentrate for long periods, or are easily distracted or impulsive [2].
As a central nervous system stimulant, lisdexamfetamine is utilized as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As a prodrug, lisdexamfetamine was specifically engineered as an abuse-resistant product [10]. The mechanism by which this occurs is through delayed release after ingestion (unlike some other psychostimulant drugs, which may be abused). After oral administration and absorption, enzyme hydrolysis after contact with red blood cells metabolize lisdexamfetamine into L- lysine, a naturally occurring essential amino acid and active d-amphetamine, which is responsible for the drug’s pharmacological effects. Gastrointestinal pH does not affect this conversion, and the addition of the L-lysine slows the amount of d-amphetamine available in the circulation and central nervous system [10].

Pharmacology
- Indication
For the treatment of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and for moderate to severe binge eating disorder in adults [Label], [4].
This drug is not indicated for weight loss. Use of other sympathomimetic drugs for weight loss is associated with serious cardiovascular effects. The safety and effectiveness of this drug for the treatment of obesity have not yet been determined [Label].
- Associated Conditions
- Pharmacodynamics
Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is a prodrug of d-amphetamine. Amphetamines are non-catecholamine sympathomimetic amines with CNS stimulating properties [Label]. This agent works primarily by inducing the release of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine from their storage areas in presynaptic nerve terminals [9]. Both of these transmitters contribute to alertness, increased concentration, in addition to effort and motivation.
- Mechanism of action
Lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. The active form of this drug blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space. The parent drug, lisdexamfetamine, does not bind to the sites for the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in vitro [Label]. The mechanism of therapeutic action in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not fully understood [8], [Label]. Amphetamines have been recently found to target the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), which was recently discovered. This may explain some of its effects on the extraneuronal space [5], [6],[7]. Ultimately, the ability of this agent to increase synaptic concentrations of the catecholamine neurotransmitters noradrenaline and dopamine in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and in the striatum, results in several behavioral changes [9], [Label].
Target Actions Organism UTrace amine-associated receptor 1 agonistHumans - Absorption
After oral administration, lisdexamfetamine is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract [Label], [8].
Chewable tablet form: After a single dose of 60 mg a chewable tablet in healthy subjects under fasted conditions, the Tmax of lisdexamfetamine and dextroamphetamine was reached at about 1 hour and 4.4 hour post administration, respectively [Label].
Capsule form: Following single-dose oral (30 mg, 50 mg, or 70 mg) in patients ages 6 to 12 years with ADHD under fasted conditions, Tmax of lisdexamfetamine and dextroamphetamine was reached at about 1 hour and 3.5 hours post administration, respectively [Label].
- Volume of distribution
There is no accumulation of d-amphetamine (as measured by AUC) at steady state in healthy adults and no accumulation of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate after once-daily dosing for seven consecutive days [Label], [8].
- Protein binding
- Not Available
- Metabolism
THe conversion of Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) to the active metabolite d-amphetamine occurs primarily in the blood through enzymatic cleavage after active absorption of LDX from the gastrointestinal lumen [4]. Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is hydrolyzed in the blood to d-amphetamine, which is responsible for the drug’s therapeutic activity, as well as L-lysine. Amphetamine is reported to be oxidized at the 4 position of the benzene ring to form 4-hydroxyamphetamine, or on the side chain α or β carbons to form alpha-hydroxy-amphetamine or norephedrine, respectively. Norephedrine and 4-hydroxy-amphetamine are both active and each is subsequently oxidized to form 4-hydroxy-norephedrine. Alpha-hydroxy-amphetamine undergoes the process of deamination to form phenylacetone, which finally forms benzoic acid and its glucuronide and the glycine conjugate, hippuric acid. Although the enzymes involved in amphetamine metabolism have not been clearly identified, CYP2D6 is known to be involved with the formation of 4-hydroxy-amphetamine from amphetamine [8].
- Route of elimination
After the oral administration of a 70mg dose of radiolabeled lisdexamfetamine dimesylate to six healthy subjects, about 96% of the oral dose radioactivity was recovered in the urine and only 0.3% recovered in the feces [Label], [8].
- Half life
The mean plasma elimination half-life of dextroamphetamine was about 12 hours after oral administration of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate [Label].
The plasma elimination half-life of lisdexamfetamine alone averaged less than one hour in studies of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate administered in volunteer subjects [Label].
- Clearance
In a study of 47 subjects aged 55 years of age or older, amphetamine clearance was approximately 0.7L/hr/kg for subjects 55-74 years of age and 0.55L/hr/kg for subjects ≥75 years of age. This is slightly reduced compared to younger adults (approximately 1L/hr/kg for subjects 18-45 years of age) [8].
- Toxicity
Acute toxicity: Symptoms of acute overdosage with amphetamines include restlessness, tremor, hyperreflexia, rapid respiration, confusion, assaultiveness, hallucinations, panic states, hyperpyrexia, and rhabdomyolysis. Fatigue and depression generally follow the symptoms central nervous system stimulation. Cardiovascular effects include arrhythmias, hypertension or hypotension and/or circulatory collapse. Gastrointestinal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Lethal poisoning is usually preceded by convulsions and coma [Label]. Prescribers should consider that serious cardiovascular (CV) events have been reported with this class of drugs [8].
Long-term effects: Acute administration of high doses of amphetamine (d- or d,l-) has been shown to produce long-term neurotoxic effects, which include irreversible nerve fiber damage, in rodents. The relevance of these findings to humans is currently unknown [Label].
