Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate: Prodrug Delivery, Amphetamine Exposure and Duration of Efficacy
Open accessAbstract
Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) is a long-acting d-amphetamine prodrug used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents and adults. LDX is hydrolysed in the blood to yield d-amphetamine, and the pharmacokinetic profile of d-amphetamine following oral administration of LDX has a lower maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), extended time to Cmax (Tmax) and lower inter- and intra-individual variability in exposure compared with the pharmacokinetic profile of an equivalent dose of immediate-release (IR) d-amphetamine. The therapeutic action of LDX extends to at least 13 h post-dose in children and 14 h post-dose in adults, longer than that reported for any other long-acting formulation. Drug-liking scores for LDX are lower than for an equivalent dose of IR d-amphetamine, which may result from the reduced euphorigenic potential associated with its pharmacokinetic profile. These pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LDX may be beneficial in the management of symptoms in children, adolescents and adults with ADHD.

LDX is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and is unlikely to be involved in drug interactions involving CYP enzymes or P-glycoprotein; however, it is contraindicated during or within 2 weeks following administration of monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAs d-amphetamine is released slowly from the prodrug LDX, it does not produce the subjective "rush" experienced by drug abusers and may offer reduced abuse potential relative to immediate-release d-amphetamine.

The Conclusions and Safety sections report slower d-amphetamine exposure, lower drug-liking scores at equivalent doses, and a possible reduction in abuse potential compared with immediate-release d-amphetamine. They do not support the categorical statement that LDX produces no subjective “rush”: the Safety section reports significant drug-liking at a supratherapeutic LDX dose.

Lisdexamfetamine is metabolised differently from other amphetamines, which could affect its efficacy and tolerability.
“Finally, to investigate possible differences between lisdexamfetamine and other amphetamines, we did a post-hoc analysis separating this compound, because lisdexamfetamine is metabolised differently from other amphetamines, which could affect its efficacy and tolerability.45”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
