Abuse resistant amphetamine compounds

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(i) Field of the Invention

0001The invention relates to amphetamine compounds, compositions and methods of delivery and use comprising amphetamine covalently bound to a chemical moiety, the chemical moiety being L-lysine.

0002The invention relates to compounds comprised of amphetamine covalently bound to a chemical moiety in a manner that diminishes or eliminates pharmacological activity of amphetamine until released. The conjugates are stable in tests that simulate procedures likely to be used by illicit chemists in attempts to release amphetamine. The invention further provides for compositions for use in therapeutic delivery of amphetamine compositions by oral administration. Additionally, release of amphetamine following oral administration occurs gradually over an extended period of time thereby eliminating spiking of drug levels. When taken at doses above the intended prescription, the bioavailability of amphetamine, including peak levels and total amount of drug absorbed, is substantially decreased. This decreases the potential for amphetamine abuse which often entails the use of extreme doses (1 g or more a day). The compositions are also resistant to abuse by parenteral routes of administration, such as intravenous "shooting", intranasal "snorting", or inhalation "smoking", that are often employed in illicit use. The invention thus provides a stimulant based treatment for certain disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is commonly treated with amphetamine. Treatment of ADHD with compositions of the invention results in substantially decreased abuse liability as compared to existing stimulant treatments.

(ii) Background of the Invention

0003The invention is directed to amphetamine conjugate compounds, compositions, and methods of manufacture and use thereof. In particular, the invention is directed to an anti-abuse/sustained release formulation which maintains its therapeutic effectiveness when administered orally. The invention further relates to formulations which diminish or reduce the euphoric effect while maintaining therapeutically effective blood concentrations following oral administration.

0004Amphetamine is prescribed for the treatment of various disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obesity and narcolepsy. Amphetamine and methamphetamine stimulate the central nervous system and have been used medicinally to treat ADHD, narcolepsy and obesity. Because of its stimulating effects amphetamine and its derivatives (e.g., amphetamine analogues) are often abused. Similarly, p-methoxyamphetamine, methylenedioxyamphetamine, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine, 2,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine are also often abused.

0005In children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), potent CNS stimulants have been used for several decades as a drug treatment given either alone or as an adjunct to behavioral therapy. While methylphenidate (Ritalin) has been the most frequently prescribed stimulant, the prototype of the class, amphetamine (<u>a</u>lpha-<u>m</u>ethyl <u>p</u>hen<u>e</u>thyl<u>amine</u> has been used all along and increasingly so in recent years. (<nplcit id="ncit0001" npl-type="s"><text>Bradley C, Bowen M, "Amphetamine (Benzedrine) therapy of children's behavior disorders." American Journal of Orthopsychiatry 11: 92) (1941</text></nplcit>).

0006The potential for abuse of amphetamines is a major drawback to its use. The high abuse potential has earned it Schedule II status according to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Schedule II classification is reserved for those drugs that have accepted medical use but have the highest potential for abuse. The abuse potential of amphetamine has been known for many years and the FDA requires the following black box warning in the package inserts of products: <ul id="ul0001" list-style="none" compact="compact"><li>AMPHETAMINES HAVE A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE. ADMINISTRATION OF AMPHETAMINES FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME MAY LEAD TO DRUG DEPENDENCE AND MUST BE AVOIDED. PARTICULAR ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUBJECTS OBTAINING AMPHETAMINES FOR NONTHERAPEUTIC USE OR DISTRIBUTION TO OTHERS, AND THE DRUGS SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED OR DISPENSED SPARINGLY.</li></ul>

0007Furthermore, recent developments in the abuse of prescription drug products increasingly raise concerns about the abuse of amphetamine prescribed for ADHD. Similar to OxyContin, a sustained release formulation of a potent narcotic analgesic, Adderall XR® represents a product with increased abuse liability relative to the single dose tablets. The source of this relates to the higher concentration of amphetamine in each tablet and the potential for release of the full amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient upon crushing. Therefore, like OxyContin, it may be possible for substance abusers to obtain a high dose of the pharmaceutical with rapid onset by snorting the powder or dissolving it in water and injecting it. (<nplcit id="ncit0002" npl-type="s"><text>Cone, E. J., R. V. Fant, et al., "Oxycodone involvement in drug abuse deaths: a DAWN-based classification scheme applied to an oxycodone postmortem database containing over 1000 cases." J Anal Toxicol 27(2): 57-67; discussion 67) (2003</text></nplcit>).

0008It has been noted recently that "53 percent of children not taking medication for ADHD knew of students with the disorder either giving away or selling their medications. And 34 percent of those being treated for the disorder acknowledged they had been approached to sell or trade them." (Dartmouth-Hitchcock, 2003) "Understanding ADHD Stimulant Abuse." http://12.42.224.168/healthyliving/ familyhome/jan03familyhomestimulantabuse.htm). In addition, it was reported that students at one prep school obtained Dexedrine and Adderall to either swallow tablets whole or crush and sniff them. (Dartmouth-Hitchcock (2003).

0009According to the drug enforcement administration (DEA, 2003): <ul id="ul0002" list-style="none" compact="compact"><li>Methylphenidate and amphetamine can be abused orally or the tablets can be crushed and snorted or dissolved in water and injected. The pattern of abuse is characterized by escalation in dose, frequent episodes of binge use followed by severe depression and an overpowering desire to continue the use of these drugs despite serious adverse medical and social consequences.</li><li>Rendering this potent stimulant resistant to abuse, particularly by parenteral routes such as snorting or injecting, would provide considerable value to this otherwise effective and beneficial prescription medication.

0010Typically, sustained release formulations contain drug particles mixed with or covered by a polymer material, or blend of materials, which are resistant to degradation or disintegration in the stomach and/or in the intestine for a selected period of time. Release of the drug may occur by leeching, erosion, rupture, diffusion or similar actions depending upon the nature of the polymer material or polymer blend used. Additionally, these formulations are subject to breakdown following relatively simple protocols which allows for abuse of the active ingredient.

0011Conventionally, pharmaceutical manufacturers have used hydrophilic hydrocolloid gelling polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose or Pullulan to formulate sustained release tablets or capsules. These polymers first form a gel when exposed to an aqueous environment of low pH thereby slowly diffusing the active medicament which is contained within the polymer matrix. When the gel enters a higher pH environment such as that found in the intestines, however, it dissolves resulting in a less controlled drug release. To provide better sustained release properties in higher pH environments, some pharmaceutical manufacturers use polymers which dissolve only at higher pHs, such as acrylic resins, acrylic latex dispersions, cellulose acetate phthalate, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, either alone or in combination with hydrophilic polymers.

0012These formulations are prepared by combining the medicament with a finely divided powder of the hydrophilic polymer, or the hydrophilic and water-insoluble polymers. These ingredients are mixed and granulated with water or an organic solvent and the granulation is dried. The dry granulation is then usually further blended with various pharmaceutical additives and compressed into tablets.

0013Although these types of formulations have been successfully used to manufacture dosage forms which demonstrate sustained release properties, these formulations are subject to several shortcomings including uneven release and are subject to abuse.

0014<patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="WO03072046A"><text>WO 03/072046</text></patcit> is concerned with the provision of controlled substances which are resistant to abuse by providing chemically modified controlled release substances that are themselves inactive and resistant to absorption and released only under selected conditions, such as for example under the acidic condition of the stomach and/or the enzymatic activity present in the gastrointestinal tract or in the blood serum. In particular <patcit id="pcit0002" dnum="WO03072046A"><text>WO 03/072046</text></patcit> provides pharmaceutical composition comprising a controlled substance covalently bound to an amino acid or peptide in a manner that renders the controlled substance pharmacologically active. Dextroamphetamine is listed as a controlled substance that may be used in this manner but L-lysine-d-amphetamine is not anticipated. Of the amphetamine derivatives that are described, none provide a method for delivering amphetamine dosage which prevents euphoria as described herein.

0015The need exists for an abuse resistant dosage form of amphetamine which is therapeutically effective. Further the need exists for an amphetamine dosage form which provides sustained release and sustained therapeutic effect.

<u>SUMMARY OF INVENTION</u>

0016The invention provides L-lysine-d-amphetamine which is a covalent attachment of amphetamine to a chemical moiety. The chemical moiety is converted into its active form in the body by normal metabolic processes. The chemical moiety is an amino acid, which is L-lysine. The invention also provides L-lysine=d-amphetamine mesylate and L-lysine-d-amphetamine.hydrochloride. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition in oral dosage form comprising a compound selected from L-lysine-d-amphetamine and L-lysine-d-amphetamine mesylate; and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additives. The scope of the invention is limited by the appended claims.

0017The chemical moiety is covalently attached directly to the amphetamine.

0018The chemical moiety is an amino acid attached to amphetamine through the N-terminus, C-terminus or side chain of the amino acid.

0019Covalent attachment of a chemical moiety to amphetamine can decrease its pharmacological activity when administered through injection or intranasally. Compositions of the invention, however, provide amphetamine covalently attached to a chemical moiety which remains orally bioavailable. The bioavailability is a result of the hydrolysis of the covalent linkage following oral administration. Hydrolysis is time-dependent, thereby allowing amphetamine to become available in its active form over an extended period of time. In one embodiment, the composition provides oral bioavailability which resembles the pharmacokinetics observed for extended release formulations. In another embodiment, release of amphetamine is diminished or eliminated when delivered by parenteral routes.

0020In one embodiment, the compositions maintain their effectiveness and abuse resistance following the crushing of the tablet, capsule or other oral dosage form. In contrast, conventional extended release formulations used to control the release of amphetamine through incorporation into matrices are subject to release of up to the entire amphetamine content immediately following crushing. When the content of the crushed tablet is injected or snorted, the large dose of amphetamine produces the "rush" effect sought by addicts.

0021The amphetamine is attached to a L-amino acid for digestion by proteases. The amphetamine compound is L-lysine-d-amphetamine, or L-lysine-d-amphetamine mesylate or L-lysine-d-amphetamine hydrochloride, as claimed.

0022Also disclosed is a carrier and amphetamine which are bound to each other but otherwise unmodified in structure. This embodiment may further be described as the carrier having a free carboxy and/or amine terminal and/or side chain groups other than at the location of attachment for the amphetamine. The invention provides a method for delivering amphetamine dosage which prevents euphoria, comprising administering to a patient in need a composition formulated for oral dosage comprising amphetamine covalently attached to a chemical moiety wherein said blood levels of amphetamine maintain a therapeutically effect level but do not result in a euphoric effect.

0023In another embodiment, the covalent attachment of a chemical moiety substantially decreases the potential for overdose by decreasing the toxicity of amphetamine at doses above those considered therapeutic, while maintaining its pharmaceutical activity within a normal dose range. Covalent attachment of the chemical moiety may decrease or eliminate the pharmacological activity of amphetamine. Therefore, restoring activity requires release of the amphetamine from the chemical moiety. At higher doses partial or complete saturation of processes responsible for amphetamine release may be reached thus diminishing or eliminating the release of harmful levels of active amphetamine. For example, aspects of pharmacological activity, release, saturation are further depicted in the figures.

0024In another embodiment of the invention, the covalent attachment of a chemical moiety substantially decreases the potential for overdose by decreasing the rate or overall amount of absorption of the amphetamine when given at doses above those considered therapeutic.

0025In another embodiment of the invention, the covalent attachment of a chemical moiety substantially decreases the potential for overdose by increasing the rate or overall amount of clearance of amphetamine when given at doses above those considered therapeutic..

0026Another embodiment provides the claimed compound for use in treating a patient suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, narcolepsy or obesity comprising providing, administering, prescribing, etc. compositions of the invention.

0027Also disclosed is a method for delivering amphetamine, comprising providing a patient with a therapeutically effective amount of amphetamine covalently attached to a chemical moiety which provides a therapeutically bioequivalent AUC when compared to amphetamine alone but does not provide a C_max which results in euphoria when taken orally.

0028Other objects, advantages and embodiments of the invention are described below and will be obvious from this description and practice of the invention.

0031The invention utilizes covalent modification of amphetamine to decrease its potential for causing overdose or abuse. The amphetamine is covalently modified in a manner that decreases its pharmacological activity, as compared to the unmodified amphetamine, at doses above those considered therapeutic. When given at lower doses, such as those intended for therapy, the covalently modified amphetamine retains pharmacological activity similar to that of the unmodified amphetamine. The covalent modification of amphetamine may comprise the attachment of a chemical moiety through conventional chemistry.

0032Compounds and compositions of the invention provide reduced potential for overdose, reduced potential for abuse or addiction, and/or improve amphetamine's characteristics with regard to high toxicities or suboptimal release profiles. Without wishing to be limited to the below theory, we believe that overdose protection results from a natural gating mechanism at the site of hydrolysis that limits the release of the active amphetamine from the prodrug at greater than therapeutically prescribed amounts. Therefore, abuse resistance is provided by limiting the "rush" or "high" available from the active amphetamine released by the prodrug and limiting the effectiveness of alternative routes of administration. Further, it is believed that the prodrug itself does not cross the blood brain barrier and is thus substantially absent from the central nervous system.

0033A "composition" as used herein refers broadly to any composition containing a described molecule conjugate(s). The composition may comprise a dry formulation, an aqueous solution, or a sterile composition. Compositions comprising the molecules described herein may be stored in freeze-dried form and may be associated with a stabilizing agent such as a carbohydrate. In use, the composition may be deployed in an aqueous solution containing salts, e.g., NaCl, detergents, e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and other components.

0034"Amphetamine" shall mean the sympathomimetic phenethylamine derivative which has central nervous system stimulant activity, which has the structure shown below: <chemistry id="chem0001" num="0001"><img file="EP1644019B2_D0001.tif" /></chemistry>

0035Other embodiments are described according to the following abbreviations. Lys-Amp = L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine, Lys-Amph, Lysine-Amphetamine, KAMP, K-amphetamine, or 2,6-diaminohex-anoic acid-(1-methyl-2-phenylethyl)-amide

0036Furthermore, the following abbreviations may be used throughout the patent. <ul id="ul0004" list-style="none" compact="compact"><li>BOC = t-butyloxycarbonyl</li><li>CMC = carboxymethylcellulose</li><li>DIPEA= di-isopropyl ethyl amine</li><li>mp = melting point</li><li>NMR = nuclear magnetic resonance</li><li>OSu = hydroxysuccinimido ester</li></ul>

0037"In a manner inconsistent with the manufacturer's instructions" is meant to include consuming amounts greater than amounts described on the label or ordered by a licensed physician, and/or altering by any means (e.g. crushing, breaking, melting, separating etc.) the dosage formulation such that the composition maybe injected, inhaled or smoked.

0038Use of the phrases such as "decreased", "reduced", "diminished" or "lowered" is meant to include at least a 10% change in pharmacological activity with greater percentage changes being preferred for reduction in abuse potential and overdose potential. For instance, the change may also be greater than 25%, 35%, 45%, 55%, 65%, 75%, 85%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or increments therein. In particular, the amphetamine is dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine binds to specific sites to produce various effects (Hoebel, <i>et al</i>., 1989). The attachment of certain chemical moieties can therefore diminish or prevent binding to these biological target sites. Further, the covalent modification may prevent stimulant activity by preventing the drug from crossing the blood-brain barrier. Preferably, absorption of the composition into the brain is prevented or substantially diminished and/or delayed when delivered by routes other than oral administration. The chemical moiety could be expected to affect delayed release in the gastrointestinal tract and prevent rapid onset of the desired activity, particularly when delivered by parenteral routes.

0044Another embodiment of the invention is a composition for reducing bioavailability of amphetamine comprising amphetamine covalently bound to a chemical moiety wherein said bound amphetamine maintains a steady-state serum release curve which provides a therapeutically effective bioavailability but prevents spiking or increased blood serum concentrations compared to unbound amphetamine when given at doses exceeding those within the therapeutic range of amphetamine.

0045Another embodiment of the invention is a composition for preventing a C_max spike for amphetamine when taken by mean other than orally while still providing a therapeutically effective bioavailability curve if taken orally comprising an amphetamine which has been covalently bound to a chemical moiety.

0046Another embodiment of the invention is a composition for use in preventing a toxic release profile in a patient comprising amphetamine covalently bound to a chemical moiety wherein said bound amphetamine maintains a steady-state serum release curve which provides a therapeutically effective bioavailability but prevents spiking or increase blood serum concentrations compared to unbound amphetamine.

0047Another embodiment of the invention is a compound of Formula I:         A-X_r-Z_m wherein A is dextroamphetamine as defined herein; X is L-lysine as defined herein and n is 1 and 50; and Z is a further chemical moiety different from X which acts as an adjuvant and m is 0.

0048Embodiments of the invention provide amphetamine compositions which allow the amphetamine to be therapeutically effective when delivered at the proper dosage but reduces the rate of absorption or extent of bioavailability of the amphetamine when given at doses exceeding those within the therapeutic range of amphetamine. Embodiments of the invention also provide amphetamine compositions wherein the covalently bound chemical moiety increases the rate of clearance of amphetamine when given at doses exceeding those within the therapeutic range of the amphetamine.

0049In another embodiment, the amphetamine compositions have substantially lower toxicity compared to unbound amphetamine. In another embodiment, the amphetamine compositions reduce or eliminate the possibility of overdose by oral administration. In another embodiment, the amphetamine compositions reduce or eliminate the possibility of overdose by intranasal administration. In another embodiment, the amphetamine compositions reduce or eliminate the possibility of overdose by injection. In another embodiment, the amphetamine compositions reduce or eliminate the possibility of overdose by inhalation.

0050In another embodiment, the amphetamine conjugates of the invention may further comprise a polymer blend which comprises a hydrophilic polymer and/or a water-insoluble polymer. The polymers may be used according to industry standards to further enhance the sustained release/abuse resistant properties of the amphetamine conjugate without reducing the abuse resistance. For instance, a composition might include: about 70% to about 100% amphetamine conjugate by weight, from about 0.01% to about 10% of a hydrophilic polymer (e.g. hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), from about 0.01 % to about 2.5% of a water-insoluble polymer (e.g. acrylic resin), from about 0.01% to about 1.5% of additives (e.g. magnesium stearate), and from about 0.01 % to about 1% colorant by weight.

0051Hydrophilic polymers suitable for use in the sustained release formulations include one or more natural or partially or totally synthetic hydrophilic gums such as acacia, gum tragacanth, locust bean gum, guar gum, or karaya gum, modified cellulosic substances such as methylcellulose, hydroxomethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose; proteinaceous substances such as agar, pectin, carrageen, and alginates; and other hydrophilic polymers such as carboxypolymethylene, gelatin, casein, zein, bentonite, magnesium aluminum silicate, polysaccharides, modified starch derivatives, and other hydrophilic polymers known to those of skill in the art, or a combination of such polymers. These hydrophilic polymers gel and would dissolve slowly in aqueous acidic media thereby allowing the amphetamine conjugate to diffuse from the gel in the stomach. When the gel reaches the intestines it would dissolve in controlled quantities in the higher pH medium to allow further sustained release. Preferred hydrophilic polymers are the hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses such as those manufactured by The Dow Chemical Company and known as Methocel ethers, such as Methocel E10M.

0052Other formulations may further comprise pharmaceutical additives including, but not limited to: lubricants such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, powdered stearic acid, hydrogenated vegetable oils, talc, polyethylene glycol, and mineral oil; colorants such as Emerald Green Lake, FD&amp;C Red No. 40, FD&amp;C Yellow No. 6, D&amp;C Yellow No. 10, or FD&amp;C Blue No. 1 and other various certified color additives (See 21 CFR, Part 74); binders such as sucrose, lactose, gelatin, starch paste, acacia, tragacanth, povidone polyethylene glycol, Pullulan and corn syrup; glidants such as colloidal silicon dioxide and talc; surface active agents such as sodium lauryl sulfate, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, triethanolamine, polyoxyethylene sorbitan, poloxalkol, and quarternary ammonium salts; preservatives and stabilizers; excipients such as lactose, mannitol, glucose, fructose, xylose, galactose, sucrose, maltose, xylitol, sorbitol, chloride, sulfate and phosphate salts of potassium, sodium, and magnesium; and/or any other pharmaceutical additives known to those of skill in the art. In one preferred embodiment, a sustained release formulation further comprises magnesium stearate and Emerald Green Lake.

0053An amphetamine conjugate, which is further formulated with excipients, may be manufactured according to any appropriate method known to those of skill in the art of pharmaceutical manufacture. For instance, the amphetamine-conjugate and a hydrophilic polymer may be mixed in a mixer with an aliquot of water to form a wet granulation. The granulation may be dried to obtain hydrophilic polymer encapsulated granules of amphetamine-conjugate. The resulting granulation may be milled, screened, then blended with various pharmaceutical additives such as, water insoluble polymers, and/or additional hydrophilic polymers. The formulation may then tableted and may further be film coated with a protective coating which rapidly, dissolves or disperses in gastric juices.

0054However, it should be noted that the amphetamine conjugate controls the release of amphetamine into the digestive tract over an extended period of time resulting in an improved profile when compared to immediate release combinations and prevention of abuse without the addition of the above additives. In a preferred embodiment, no further sustained release additives are required to achieve a blunted or reduced pharmacokinetic curve (e.g., reduced euphoric effect) while achieving therapeutically effective amounts of amphetamine release when taken orally.

0055The compounds of the invention can be administered by a variety of dosage forms. Any biologically-acceptable dosage form known to persons of ordinary skill in the art, and combinations thereof, are contemplated. Examples of preferred dosage forms include, without limitation, chewable tablets, quick dissolve tablets, effervescent tablets, reconstitutable powders, elixirs, liquids, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, tablets, multi-layer tablets, bi-layer tablets, capsules, soft gelatin capsules, hard gelatin capsules, caplets, lozenges, chewable lozenges, beads, powders, granules, particles, microparticles, dispersible granules, cachets and combinations thereof.

0056The most effective means for delivering the abuse-resistant compounds of the invention is orally, to permit maximum release of the amphetamine, and provide therapeutic effectiveness and/or sustained release while maintaining abuse resistance. When delivered by oral route the amphetamine is released into circulation, preferably over an extended period of time as compared to amphetamine alone.

0057Formulations of the invention suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete units, such as capsules, caplets or tablets. These oral formulations also can comprise a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid. The formulation can be an emulsion, such as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The oils can be administered by adding the purified and sterilized liquids to a prepared enteral formula, which is then placed in the feeding tube of a patient who is unable to swallow.

0058Soft gel or soft gelatin capsules may be prepared, for example by dispersing the formulation in an appropriate vehicle (vegetable oils are commonly used) to form a high viscosity mixture. This mixture is then encapsulated with a gelatin based film using technology and machinery known to those in the soft gel industry. The industrial units so formed are then dried to constant weight.

0059Chewable tablets, for example may be prepared by mixing the formulations with excipients designed to form a relatively soft, flavored, tablet dosage form that is intended to be chewed rather than swallowed. Conventional tablet machinery and procedures, that is both direct compression and granulation, i.e., or slugging, before compression, can be utilized. Those individuals involved in pharmaceutical solid dosage form production are versed in the processes and the machinery used as the chewable dosage form is a very common dosage form in the pharmaceutical industry.

0060Film-coated tablets, for example may be prepared by coating tablets using techniques such as rotating pan coating methods or air suspension methods to deposit a contiguous film layer on a tablet.

0061Compressed tablets, for example may be prepared by mixing the formulation with excipients intended to add binding qualities to disintegration qualities. The mixture is either directly compressed or granulated then compressed using methods and machinery known to those in the industry. The resultant compressed tablet dosage units are then packaged according to market need, i.e., unit dose, rolls, bulk bottles, blister packs, etc.

0062The invention also contemplates the use of biologically-acceptable carriers which may be prepared from a wide range of materials. Without being limited thereto, such materials include diluents, binders and adhesives, lubricants, plasticizers, disintegrants, colorants, bulking substances, flavorings, sweeteners and miscellaneous materials such as buffers and adsorbents in order to prepare a particular medicated composition.

0063Binders may be selected from a wide range of materials such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, or other suitable cellulose derivatives, povidone, acrylic and methacrylic acid co-polymers, pharmaceutical glaze, gums, milk derivatives, such as whey, starches, and derivatives, as well as other conventional binders known to persons skilled in the art. Exemplary non-limiting solvents are water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, methylene chloride or mixtures and combinations thereof. Exemplary non-limiting bulking substances include sugar, lactose, gelatin, starch, and silicon dioxide.

0064Preferred plasticizers may be selected from the group consisting of diethyl phthalate, diethyl sebacate, triethyl citrate, cronotic acid, propylene glycol, butyl phthalate, dibutyl sebacate, castor oil and mixtures thereof, without limitation. As is evident, the plasticizers may be hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic in nature. Water-insoluble hydrophobic substances, such as diethyl phthalate, diethyl sebacate and castor oil are used to delay the release of water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin B6 and vitamin C. In contrast, hydrophilic plasticizers are used when water-insoluble vitamins are employed which aid in dissolving the encapsulated film, making channels in the surface, which aid in nutritional composition release.

0065It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations of this invention can include other suitable agents such as flavoring agents, preservatives and antioxidants. Such antioxidants would be food acceptable and could include vitamin E, carotene, BHT or other antioxidants known to those of skill in the art.

0066Other compounds which may be included by admixture are, for example, medically inert ingredients, e.g., solid and liquid diluent, such as lactose, dextrose, saccharose, cellulose, starch or calcium phosphate for tablets or capsules, olive oil or ethyl oleate for soft capsules and water or vegetable oil for suspensions or emulsions; lubricating agents such as silica, talc, stearic acid, magnesium or calcium stearate and/or polyethylene glycols; gelling agents such as colloidal clays; thickening agents such as gum tragacanth or sodium alginate, binding agents such as starches, arabic gums, gelatin, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose or polyvinylpyrrolidone; disintegrating agents such as starch, alginic acid, alginates or sodium starch glycolate; effervescing mixtures; dyestuff; sweeteners; wetting agents such as lecithin, polysorbates or laurylsulphates; and other therapeutically acceptable accessory ingredients, such as humectants, preservatives, buffers and antioxidants, which are known additives for such formulations.

0067For oral administration, fine powders or granules containing diluting, dispersing and/or surface-active agents may be presented in a draught, in water or a syrup, in capsules or sachets in the dry state, in a non-aqueous suspension wherein suspending agents may be included, or in a suspension in water or a syrup. Where desirable or necessary, flavoring, preserving, suspending, thickening or emulsifying agents can be included.

0068Liquid dispersions for oral administration may be syrups, emulsions or suspensions. The syrups may contain as carrier, for example, saccharose or saccharose with glycerol and/or mannitol and/or sorbitol. The suspensions and the emulsions may contain a carrier, for example a natural gum, agar, sodium alginate, pectin, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose or polyvinyl alcohol.

0069The dose range for adult human beings will depend on a number of factors including the age, weight and condition of the patient. Tablets and other forms of presentation provided in discrete units conveniently contain a daily dose, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of one or more of the compounds of the invention. For example, units may contain from 5 mg to 500 mg, but more usually from 10 mg to 250 mg, of one or more of the compounds of the invention.

0070It is also possible for the dosage form to combine any forms of release known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. These include immediate release, extended release, pulse release, variable release, controlled release, timed release, sustained release, delayed release, long acting, and combinations thereof. The ability to obtain immediate release, extended release, pulse release, variable release, controlled release, timed release, sustained release, delayed release, long acting characteristics and combinations thereof is known in the art.

0071Compositions of the invention may be administered in a partial, i.e., fractional dose, one or more times during a 24 hour period, a single dose during a 24 hour period of time, a double dose during a 24 hour period of time, or more than a double dose during a 24 hour period of time. Fractional, double or other multiple doses may be taken simultaneously or at different times during the 24 hour period. The doses may be uneven doses with regard to one another or with regard to the individual components at different administration times.

0072Likewise, the compositions of the invention may be provided in a blister pack or other such pharmaceutical package. Further, the compositions of the present inventive subject matter may further include or be accompanied by indicia allowing individuals to identify the compositions as products for a prescribed treatment. The indicia may additionally include an indication of the above specified time periods for administering the compositions. For example, the indicia may be time indicia indicating a specific or general time of day for administration of the composition, or the indicia may be a day indicia indicating a day of the week for administration of the composition. The blister pack or other combination package may also include a second pharmaceutical product.

0073It will be appreciated that the pharmacological activity of the compositions of the invention can be demonstrated using standard pharmacological models that are known in the art. Furthermore, it will be appreciated that the inventive compositions can be incorporated or encapsulated in a suitable polymer matrix or membrane for site-specific delivery, or can be functionalized with specific targeting agents capable of effecting site specific delivery. These techniques, as well as other drug delivery techniques, are well known in the art.

0074In another embodiment of the invention, the solubility and dissolution rate of the composition is substantially changed under physiological conditions encountered in the intestine, at mucosal surfaces, or in the bloodstream. In another embodiment the solubility and dissolution rate substantially decrease the bioavailability of the amphetamine, particularly at doses above those intended for therapy. In another embodiment, the decrease in bioavailability occurs upon intranasal administration. In another embodiment, the decrease in bioavailability occurs upon intravenous administration.

0075For each of the described embodiments, one or more of the following characteristics may be realized: The toxicity of the amphetamine conjugate is substantially lower than that of the unbound amphetamine.

The product was isolated; the solvent reduced by rotary evaporation and the purified protected amide was dried by high-vac to obtain a white solid. ¹H NMR (DMSO-d₆) δ 1.02-1.1 (m, 2H, Lys γ-CH₂), δ 1.04 (d, 3H, Amp α-CH₃), δ 1.22-1.43 (m, 4H, Lys-β and δ-CH₂), δ 1.37 (18H, Boc, 6x CH₃), δ 2.60-2.72 (2H, Amp CH₂), δ 3.75-3.83, (m, 1H, Lys α-H) δ 3.9-4.1 (m, 1 H, Amp α-H), δ 6.54-6.61 (d, 1H, amide NH), δ 6.7-6.77 (m, 1H; amide NH), δ 7.12-7.29 (m, 5H, ArH), δ 7.65-7.71 (m, 1, amide NH); mp = 86-88 °C.

Example 6. Pharmacokinetics of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate (ELISA Analysis)

0109Male Sprague-Dawley rats were provided water ad libitum, fasted overnight and dosed by oral gavage L-lysine-d-amphetamine or d-amphetamine sulfate. In all studies doses contained equivalent amounts of <i>d</i>-amphetamine base. Plasma <i>d</i>-amphetamine concentrations were measured by ELISA (Amphetamine Ultra, 109319, Neogen, Corporation, Lexington, KY). The assay is specific for <i>d</i>-amphetamine with only minimal reactivity (0.6%) of the major <i>d</i>-amphetamine metabolite (para-hydroxy-<i>d</i>-amphetamine) occurring. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was also determined to be essentially unreactive in the ELISA (&lt;1%).

0110Mean (n=4) plasma concentration curves of <i>d</i>-amphetamine or L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine are shown in <figref idref="f0006">Fig. 6</figref>. Extended release was observed in all four L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine dosed animals and C_max was substantially decreased as compared to animals dosed with d-amphetamine sulfate. Plasma <i>d</i>-amphetamine concentrations of individual animals for <i>d</i>-arriphetamine or L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine are shown in Table 1. The mean plasma <i>d</i>-amphetamine concentrations are shown in Table 2. The time to peak concentration for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was similar to that of <i>d</i>-amphetamine.

0111Example 6 illustrates that when lysine is conjugated to the active agent amphetamine the peak levels of amphetamine are decreased while bioavailability is maintained approximately equal to amphetamine. The bioavailability of amphetamine released from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is similar to that of amphetamine sulfate at the equivalent dose, thus L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine maintains its therapeutic value. The gradual release of amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d-</i>amphetamine and decrease in peak levels reduce the possibility of overdose.

Example 8: Oral bioavailability of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine at various doses approximating a range of therapeutic human doses compared to a suprapharmacological dose

0113Male Sprague-Dawley rats were provided water ad libitum, fasted overnight and dosed by oral gavage with 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 60 mg/kg of amphetamine sulfate or L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine containing the equivalent amounts of <i>d</i>-amphetamine. Concentrations of <i>d</i>-amphetamine were measured by ELISA.

0114It has been demonstrated that when lysine is conjugated to the active agent <i>d</i>-amphetamine the levels of <i>d</i>-amphetamine at 30 minutes post-administration are decreased by approximately 50% over a dose range of 1.5 to 12 mg/kg. However, when a suprapharmcological dose (60 mg/kg) is given the levels of <i>d</i>-amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine only reached 8% of those seen for <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate (Tables 8 and 9, <figref idref="f0010">Fig. 10</figref>). The substantial decrease in oral bioavailability at a high dose greatly reduces the abuse potential of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine. <tables id="tabl0010" num="0010"><table frame="all"><title>Table 8.

Example 10. Oral Bioavailability of <i>d-</i>amphetamine following administration of an extended release formulation (intact or crushed) or L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine

0116Doses of an extended release formulation of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate (Dexadrine Spansule capsules) were orally administered to rats as intact capsules or as crushed capsules and compared to a dose of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine containing an equivalent amount of <i>d</i>-amphetamine base (<figref idref="f0014">Fig. 14</figref>). The crushed capsules showed an increase in C_max and AUC_inf of 84 and 13 percent, respectively, as compared to intact capsules (Tables 12-13). In contrast, C_max and AUC_inf of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine were similar to that of the intact capsule illustrating that extended release is inherent to the compound itself and can not be circumvented by simple manipulation. <tables id="tabl0014" num="0014"><table frame="all"><title>Table 12.

0121Example 12 illustrates that when lysine is conjugated to the active agent amphetamine the bioavailability of amphetamine by the intravenous route is substantially decreased, thereby diminishing the ability to abuse the drug by this route.

Example.13. Oral Bioavaialability of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine at escalating doses.

0122As shown in <figref idref="f0015 f0016 f0017 f0018 f0019">Figs. 15-19</figref>, the fraction of intact L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine absorbed following oral administration in rats increased non-linearly in proportion to escalating doses from 1.5 to 12 mg/kg (<i>d</i>-amphetamine base). The fraction absorbed at 1.5 mg/kg was only 2.6 percent whereas it increased to 24.6 percent by 12 mg/kg. The fraction absorbed fell to 9.3 percent at the high dose of 60 mg/kg. T_max ranged from 0.25 to 3 hours and peak concentrations occurred earlier than for <i>d</i>-amphetamine in L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine dosed rats. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was cleared more rapidly than <i>d</i>-amphetamine with nearly undetectable concentrations by 8 hours at the lowest dose.

0123T_max for <i>d</i>-amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine ranged from 1.5 to 5 hours as compared to 0.5 to 1.5 following administration of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate. The difference in time to reach maximum concentration was greater at higher doses. C_max of <i>d</i>-amphetaminefollowing oral delivery of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was reduced by approximately half as compared to C_max following <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate administration at doses of 1.5 to 6 mg/kg, approximating human equivalent doses (HEDs) in the therapeutic range (HED <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate; 19.9 to 39.9 mg). HEDs are defined as the equivalent dose for a 60 kg person in accordance to the body surface area of the animal model. The adjustment factor for rats is 6.2. The HED for a rat dose of 1.5 mg/kg of <i>d</i>-amphetamine, for example, is equivalent to 1.5/6.2 x 60 = 14.52 <i>d</i>-amphetamine base; which is equivalent to 14.52/.7284 = 19.9 mg <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate, when adjusted for the salt content.

0124At doses above HEDs in the targeted therapeutic range (12 and 60 mg/kg; HED <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate 79.8 and 399 mg), C_max was reduced by 73 and 84 percent, respectively, as compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate. AUCs of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following oral administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine were similar to those of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate at lower doses. As observed with C_max, however, the AUCs for <i>d</i>-amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine were substantially decreased compared to those of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate at higher doses with the AUC_inf reduced by 76% at the highest dose (60 mg/kg; HED 399 mg <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate.

0125In summary, oral bioavailability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetemine decreased to some degree at higher doses in rats. However, pharmacokinetics with respect to dose were nearly linear for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetarriine at doses from 1.5 to 60 mg/kg (HED <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate; 19.9 to 797.2 mg) with the fraction absorbed ranging from 52 to 81 percent (extrapolated form 1.5 mg/kg dose). Pharmacokinetics of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate was also nearly linear at lower doses of 1.5 to 6 mg/kg (HED; 19.9 to 79.7) with the fraction absorbed ranging form 62 to 84. In contrast to L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine, however, parameters were disproportionately increased at higher doses for <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate with the fraction absorbed calculated as 101 and 223 percent (extrapolated form 1.5 mg/kg dose), respectively, for the suprapharmacological doses of 12 and 60 mg/kg (HED <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate; 159.4 and 797.2 mg).

0126The results suggest that the capacity for clearance of <i>d</i>-amphetamine when delivered as the sulfate salt becomes saturated at the higher doses whereas the gradual hydrolysis of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine precludes saturation of <i>d-</i>amphetamine elimination at higher doses. The difference in proportionality of dose to bioavailability (Cmax and AUC) for <i>d</i>-amphetamine and L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is illustrated in <figref idref="f0020 f0021 f0022">Figs. 20-22</figref>. The pharmacokinetic properties of L-lysine-d-amphetamine as compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine at the higher doses decrease the ability to escalate doses. This improves the safety and reduces the abuse liability of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine as a method of delivering <i>d</i>-amphetamine for the treatment of ADHD or other indicated conditions.

Example 14. Intranasal Bioavailability of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine.

0127As shown in <figref idref="f0023 f0024">Figs. 23-24</figref>, bioavailability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following bolus intranasal administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was approximately 5 percent of that of the equivalent <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate dose with AUC_inf values of 56 and 1032, respectively. C_max of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine administration by the intranasal route was also about 5 percent of that of the equivalent amount of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate with values of 78.6 ng/mL and 1962.9 ng/mL, respectively. As with intravenous administration, T_max of <i>d</i>-amphetamine concentration was delayed substantially for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine (60 minutes) as compared to T_max of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate (5 minutes), again reflecting the gradual hydrolysis of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine. A high concentration of intact L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was detected following intranasal dosing suggesting that the large decrease in bioavailability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine was due to minimal hydrolysis of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine when delivered by this route. It appears that only minimal amounts of <i>d</i>-amphetamine can be delivered by intranasal administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine.

Example 15. Intravenous Bioavaialability of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine.

0128As shown in <figref idref="f0025 f0026">Figs. 25-26</figref>, bioavailability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following bolus intravenous administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was approximately one-half that of the equivalent <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate dose with AUC_inf values of 237.8 and 420.2, respectively. C_max of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine administration was only about one-fourth that of the equivalent amount of <i>d</i>-amphetamine with values of 99.5 and 420.2, respectively. T_max of <i>d</i>-amphetamine concentration was delayed substantially for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine (30 minutes) as compared to T_max of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate (5 minutes), reflecting the gradual hydrolysis of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine. In conclusion, the bioavailability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine by the intravenous route is substantially decreased and delayed when given as L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine. Moreover, bioavailability is less than that obtained by oral administration of the equivalent dose of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine.

Example 19. LC/MS/MS analysis of Bioavailability in Dogs

<i>Example Experimental Design:</i>

0133This was a non-randomized, two-treatment crossover study. All animals were maintained on their normal diet and were fasted overnight prior to each dose administration. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine dose was based on the body weight measured on the morning of each dosing day. The actual dose delivered was based on syringe weight before and after dosing. Serial blood samples were obtained from each animal by direct venipuncture of a jugular vein using vacutainer tubes containing sodium heparin as the anticoagulant.

<i>Administration of the Test Article:</i>

0134<i>Oral:</i> The test article was administered to each animal via a single oral gavage. On Day 1, animals received the oral dose by gavage using an esophageal tube attached to a syringe. Dosing tubes were flushed with approximately 20 mL tap water to ensure the required dosing solution was delivered.

0135<i>Intravenous:</i> On Day 8, animals received L-lysine-d-amphetamine as a single 30-minute intravenous infusion into a cephalic vein.

<i>Sample Collection:</i>

0136<i>Dosing Formulations:</i> Post-dosing, remaining dosing formulation was saved and stored frozen.

0137<i>Blood:</i> Serial blood samples (2 mL) were collected using venipuncture tubes containing sodium heparin. Blood samples were taken at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-oral dosing. Blood samples were collected at 0, 0.167, 0.33, 0.49 (prior to stop of infusion), 0.583, 0.667, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 23 hours post-intravenous infusion start. Collected blood samples were chilled immediately.

0138<i>Plasma:</i> Plasma samples were obtained by centrifugation of blood samples. Duplicate plasma samples (about 0.2 mL each) were transferred into prelabeled plastic vials and stored frozen at approximately -70°C.

<i>Sample Assay:</i>

0139Plasma samples were analyzed for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine and <i>d</i>-amphetamine using a validated LC-MS/MS method with an LLOQ of 1 ng/mL for both analytes.

0140Microsoft Excel (Version 6, Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA) was used for calculation of mean plasma concentration and graphing of the plasma concentration-time data. Pharmacokinetic analysis (non-compartmental) was performed using the WinNonlin® software program (Version 4.1, Pharsight, Inc. Mountain View, CA). The maximum concentration, C_max, and the time to C_max, T_max, were observed values. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was determined using linear-log trapezoidal rules. The apparent terminal rate constant (λz) was derived using linear least-squares regression with visual inspection of the data to determine the appropriate number of points (minimum of 3 data points) for calculating λz. The AUC(0-inf) was calculated as the sum of AUC(0-t) and Cpred/λz, where Cpred was the predicted concentration at the time of the last quantifiable concentration. The plasma clearance (CL/F) was determined as the ratio of Dose/AUC (0-inf). The mean residence time (MRT) was calculated as the ratio of AUMC(0-inf)/AUC (0-inf), where AUMC(0-inf) was the area under the first moment curve from the time zero to infinity. The volume of distribution at steady state (V_ss) was estimated as CL*MRT. Half-life was calculated as ln2/λz. The oral bioavailability (F) was calculated as the ratio of AUC(0-inf) following oral dosing to AUC(0-inf) following intravenous dosing. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using Microsoft Excel.

0141The objectives of this study were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine and <i>d</i>-amphetamine following administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine in male beagle dogs. As shown in <figref idref="f0027">Fig. 27</figref>, in a cross-over design, L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was administered to 3 male beagle dogs orally (2 mg/kg) and intravenously (2 mg/kg, 30-minute infusion). Blood samples were collected up to 24 and 72 hour after the intravenous and oral does, respectively. Plasma samples were analyzed using a LC-MS/MS assay which provided an LLOQ of 1 ng/mL for both analytes.

0142The mean L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine and <i>d</i>-amphetamine plasma concentration-time profiles following an intravenous or oral dose of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine are presented in <figref idref="f0029">Figs. 29</figref> and <figref idref="f0030">30</figref>, respectively. Comparative profiles of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine to <i>d</i>-amphetamine following both routes are depicted in <figref idref="f0027 f0028">Figs. 27-28</figref>. Individual plots are depicted in <figref idref="f0031 f0032">Figs. 31-32</figref>. The pharmacokinetic parameters are summarized in Tables 29-37.

0143Following a 30-minute intravenous infusion of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine, the plasma concentration reached a peak at the end of the infusion. Post-infusion L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine concentration declined very rapidly in a biexponential manner, and fell below the quantifiable limit (1 ng/mL) by approximately 8 hours post-dose. Results of non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis indicate that L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is a high clearance compound with a moderate volume of distribution (Vss) approximating total body water (0.7 L/kg). The mean clearance value was 2087 mL/h•kg (34:8 mL/min•kg) and was similar to the hepatic blood flow in the dog (40 mL/min•kg). Consequently, L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is a moderate to high hepatic extraction compound with significant first pass effects (including the conversion to <i>d</i>-amphetamine) following oral administration.

0144L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was rapidly absorbed after oral administration with T_max at 0.5 hours in all three dogs. Mean absolute oral bioavailablity was 33%. Since significant first pass effects are expected for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine, a 33% bioavailability suggests that L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is very well absorbed in the dog. The apparent terminal half-life was 0.39 hours, indicating rapid elimination, as observed following intravneous administration.

0145Plasma concentration-time profiles of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following intravenous or oral administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine were very similar, with C_max, T_max and AUC values for both routes essentially the same. At a 2 mg/kg oral dose of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine, the mean C_max of <i>d</i>-amphetamine was 104.3 ng/mL. The half-life of <i>d</i>-amphetamine was 3.1 to 3.5 hours, much longer when compared to L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine.

0146In this study, L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was infused over a 30 minute time period. Due to rapid clearance of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine it is likely that bioavailability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine would decrease if a similar dose were given by intravenous bolus injection. Even when given as an infusion the bioavailability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine did not exceed that of a similar dose given orally and the time to peak concentration was substantially delayed. This data further supports that L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine affords a decrease in the abuse liability of <i>d</i>-amphetamine by intravenous injection. <tables id="tabl0033" num="0033"><table frame="all"><title>Table 29.

Example 20. Delayed Cardiovascular Effects of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine as Compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine Following Intravenous Infusion.

0147Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) are increased by d-amphetamine even at therapeutic doses. Since L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is expected to release <i>d</i>-amphetamine (albeit slowly) as a result of systemic metabolism, a preliminary study was done using equimolar doses of <i>d</i>-amphetamine or L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine to 4 dogs (2 male and 2 female). The results suggest that the amide prodrug is inactive and that slow release of some <i>d</i>-amphetamine, occurs beginning 20 minutes after the first dose. Relative to <i>d</i>-amphetamine, however, the effects are less robust. For example, the mean blood pressure is graphed in <figref idref="f0035">Fig. 35</figref>. Consistent with previously published data (Kohli and Goldberg, 1982), small doses of <i>d</i>-amphetamine were observed to have rapid effects on blood pressure. The lowest dose (0.202 mg/kg, equimolar to 0.5 mg/kg of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine) produced an acute doubling of the mean BP followed by a slow recovery over 30 minutes.

0148By contrast, L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine produced very little change in mean BP until approximately 30 minutes after injection. At that time, pressure increased by about 20-50%. Continuous release of <i>d</i>-amphetamine is probably responsible for the slow and steady increase in blood pressure over the remaining course of the experiment. Upon subsequent injections, <i>d</i>-amphetamine is seen to repeat its effect in a non-dose dependent fashion. That is, increasing dose 10-fold from the first injection produced a rise to the same maximum pressure. This may reflect the state of catecholamine levels in nerve terminals upon successive stimulation of <i>d</i>-amphetamine bolus injections. Note that the rise in mean blood pressure seen after successive doses of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine (<figref idref="f0035">Fig. 35</figref>) produces a more gradual and less intense effect. Similar results were observed for left ventricular pressure (<figref idref="f0036">Fig. 36</figref>). These results further substantiate the significant decrease in <i>d</i>-amphetamine bioavailability by the intravenous route when given as L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine. As a result the rapid onset of the pharmacological effect of <i>d</i>-amphetamine that is sought by persons injecting the drug is eliminated. <tables id="tabl0042" num="0042"><table frame="all"><title>Table 38.

Example 21. Pharmacodynamic (Locomotor) Response to Amphetamine vs. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine by Oral Administration

0149Male Sprague-Dawley rats were provided water ad libitum, fasted overnight and dosed by oral gavage with 6 mg/kg of amphetamine or L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine containing the equivalent amount of <i>d</i>-amphetamine. Horizontal locomotor activity (HLA) was recorded during the light cycle using photocell activity chambers (San Diego Instruments). Total counts were recorded every 12 minutes for the duration of the test. Rats were monitored in three separate experiments for 5, 8, and 12 hours, respectively. Time vs. HLA counts for <i>d</i>-amphetamine vs. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is shown in <figref idref="f0037 f0038">Figs. 37-38</figref>. In each experiment the time until peak activity was delayed and the pharmacodynamic effect was evident for an extended period of time for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine as compared to <i>d</i>-amphetamine. The total activity counts for HLA of Lys-Amp dosed rats were increased (11-41%) over those induced by <i>d</i>-amphetamine in all three experiments (Tables 40 and 41). <tables id="tabl0044" num="0044"><table frame="all"><title>Table 40.

Example 22. Pharmacodynamic Response to Amphetamine vs. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine by Intranasal Administration

0150Male Sprague-Dawley rats were dosed by intranasal administration with 1.0 mg/kg of amphetamine or L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine containing the equivalent amount of <i>d</i>-amphetamine. In a second set of similarly dosed animals carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was added to the drug solutions at a concentration of 62.6 mg/ml (approximately 2-fold higher than the concentration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine and 5-fold higher than the <i>d</i>-amphetamine content). The CMC drug mixtures were suspended thoroughly before each dose was delivered. Locomotor activity was monitored using the procedure described in the section titled example 7. As shown in <figref idref="f0039 f0040">Figs. 39-40</figref>, the activity vs. time (1 hour or 2 hours) is shown for amphetamine/CMC vs. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine and compared to that of amphetamine vs. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine CMC. As seen in <figref idref="f0039">Fig. 39</figref>, addition of CMC to L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine decreased the activity response of IN dosed rats to levels similar to the water/CMC control, whereas no effectwas seen on amphetamine activity by the addition of CMC. The increase in activity over baseline of L-lysine-<i>d-</i>amphetamine with CMC was only 9% compared to 34% for Lys-Amp without CMC when compared to activity observed for <i>d</i>-amphetamine dosed animals (Table 42). CMC had no observable affect on <i>d</i>-amphetamine activity induced by IN administration. <tables id="tabl0046" num="0046"><table frame="all"><title>Table 42.

0153Key observations of this study include: <ul id="ul0005" list-style="bullet"><li>All animals in Groups 1-3 showed no observable signs throughout the conduct of the study.</li><li>All animals in Groups 4-6 exhibited increased motor activity within two hours post-dose and which lasted into Day 2.</li><li>One female rat dosed at 1000 mg/kg was found dead on Day 2. Necropsy revealed chromodacryorrhea, chromorhinorrhea, distended stomach (gas), enlarged adrenal glands, and edematous and distended intestines.</li><li>A total of 4 rats had skin lesions of varying degrees of severity on Day 3.</li><li>One male rat dosed at 1000 mg/kg was euthanatized on Day 3 due to open skin lesions on the ventral neck.</li><li>All remaining animals appeared normal from Day 4 through Day 7.</li></ul>

0154Animals were observed for signs of toxicity at 1, 2 and 4 h post-dose, and once daily for 7 days after dosing and cage-side observations were recorded. Animals found dead, or sacrificed moribund were necropsied and discarded. A total of one animal/sex/group was necropsied upon scheduled or unscheduled death.

0155Cage-side observations and gross necropsy findings are summarized in Table 5. The data are not sufficient to establish a lethal dose, however, the study indicates that the lethal oral dose of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine is above 1000 mg/kg, because only one death occurred out of a group of six animals. Although a second animal in this dose group was euthanatized on Day 3, it was done for humane reasons and it was felt that this animal would have fully recovered. Observations suggested drug-induced stress in Groups 4-6 that is characteristic of amphetamine toxicity (NTP, 1990; NIOSH REGISTRY NUMBER: SI1750000; Goodman et. al., 1985). All animals showed no abnormal signs on Days 4-7 suggesting full recovery at each treatment level.

0156The lack of data to support an established lethal dose is believed to be due to a putative protective effect of conjugating amphetamine with lysine. Intact L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine has been shown to be inactive, but becomes active upon metabolism into the unconjugated form (<i>d</i>-amphetamine). Thus, at high doses, saturation of metabolism of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine into the unconjugated form may explain the lack of observed toxicity, which was expected at doses greater than 100 mg/kg, which is consistent with <i>d-</i>amphetamine sulfate (NTP, 1990). The formation rate of <i>d</i>-amphetamine and the extent of the formation of amphetamine may both attribute to the reduced toxicity. Alternatively, oral absorption of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine may also be saturated at such high concentrations, which may suggest low toxicity due to limited bioavailability of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine.

Example 25: <i>In Vitro</i> Assessment of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine Pharmacodynamic Activity.

0157It was anticipated that the acylation of amphetamine, as in the amino acid conjugates discussed here, would significantly reduce the stimulant activity of the parent drug. For example, Marvola (1976) showed that N-acetylation of amphetamine completely abolished the locomotor activity increasing effects in mice. To confirm that the conjugate was not directly acting as a stimulant, we tested (Novascreen, Hanover, MD) the specific binding of Lys-Amp (10^-9 to 10^-5 M) to human recombinant dopamine and norepinephrine transport binding sites using standard radioligand binding assays. The results (see Table 45) indicate that the Lys-Amp did not bind to these sites. It seems unlikely that the conjugate retains stimulant activity in light of these results.

0176A clinical evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and oral bioavailability of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine in humans was conducted. L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was orally administered at doses approximating the lower (25 mg) and higher (75 mg) end of the therapeutic range based on <i>d</i>-amphetamine base content of the doses. Additionally, the higher dose was compared to doses of Adderall XR^® (Shire) or Dexadrine Spansule^® (GlaxoSmithKline) containing equivalent amphetamine base to that of the higher L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine dose. Treatment groups and doses are summarized in Table 47. All levels below limit quantifiable (blq &lt; 0.5 ng/mL) were treated as zero for purposes of pharmacokinetic analysis.

0177The concentrations of <i>d</i>-amphetamine and L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine intact conjugate following administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine at the low and high dose for each individual subject as well as pharmacokinetic parameters are presented in Tables 48-51. The concentrations of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following administration of Adderall XR^® or Dexadrine Spansule^® for each individual subject as well as pharmacokinetic parameters are presented in Tables 52 and 53, respectively. Concentration-time curves showing L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine intact conjugate and <i>d</i>-amphetamine (ng/mL, <figref idref="f0052">Figures 52A</figref> and <figref idref="f0053">53A</figref> and uM, <figref idref="f0052">Figures 52B</figref> and <figref idref="f0053">53B</figref>) are presented in <figref idref="f0052">Figures 52</figref> and <figref idref="f0053">53</figref>. Extended release of <i>d</i>-amphetamine from L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was observed for both doses and pharmacokinetic parameters (C_max and AUC) were proportional to dose when the lower and higher dose results were compared (Table 43, 50 and 54; <figref idref="f0052">Figures 52</figref> and <figref idref="f0053">53</figref>). Significant levels of <i>d</i>-amphetamine were not observed until one-hour post administration. Only small amounts (1.6 and 2.0 percent of total drug absorption, respectively for 25 and 75 mg doses; AUC_inf - molar basis) of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine intact conjugate were detected with levels peaking at about one hour Table 49 and 51). The small amount of intact conjugate absorbed was rapidly and completely eliminated with no detectable concentrations present by five hours even at the highest dose.

0178In a cross-over design (identical subjects received Adderall XR^® doses following a 7-day washout period), the higher L-lysine-d-amphetamine dose was compared to an equivalent dose of Adderall XR^®. Adderall XR^® is a once-daily extended release treatment for ADHD that contains a mixture of <i>d</i>-amphetamine and <i>l</i>-amphetamine salts (equal amounts of <i>d</i>-amphetamine sulfate, <i>d</i>-/<i>l</i>-amphetamine sulfate, <i>d</i>-amphetamine saccharate, and <i>d</i>-/<i>l</i>-amphetamine aspartate). An equivalent dose of extended release Dexadrine Spansule^® (contains extended release formulation of d-amphetamine sulfate) was also included in the study. As observed in pharmacokinetic studies in rats, oral administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine resulted in <i>d</i>-amphetamine concentration-time curves similar to those of Adderall XR^® and Dexadrine Sparisule^® (<figref idref="f0054">Figures 54</figref> and <figref idref="f0055">55</figref>). The bioavailability (AUC_inf) of <i>d</i>-amphetamine following administration of L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was approximately equivalent to both extended release amphetamine products (Table 54). Over the course of twelve hours, typically the time needed for effective once-daily treatment of ADHD, the bioavailability for L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine was approximately equivalent to that of Adderall XR^® (d-amphetamine plus <i>l</i>-amphetamine levels) and over twenty percent higher than that of Dexadrine Spansule^®. Based on the results of this clinical study, L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine would be an effective once-daily treatment for ADHD. Moreover, L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine afforded similar pharmacokinetics in humans and animal models, namely, delayed release of <i>d</i>-amphetamine resulting in extended release kinetics. Based on these observations L-lysine-<i>d</i>-amphetamine should also have abuse-resistant properties in humans. <tables id="tabl0053" num="0053"><table frame="all"><title>Table 48.
