Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate: the first long-acting prodrug stimulant treatment for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Faraone, Stephen V·2008·Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is the first long-acting prodrug stimulant and is indicated for the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is a therapeutically inactive molecule. METHODS: Following oral ingestion, it is converted to L-lysine and active d-amphetamine, which is responsible for the therapeutic effect. Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate was developed with the goal of providing a long duration of effect with the potential for less abuse-related liking. RESULTS: In controlled clinical trials lisdexamfetamine dimesylate demonstrated a significant efficacy and extended duration of action as well as a safety profile consistent with other once-daily stimulants (mixed amphetamine salts extended release). In addition, abuse liability studies have shown that lisdexamfetamine dimesylate has lower abuse-related liking scores compared with equipotent doses of immediate-release d-amphetamine.

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.
