Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oral solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of lisdexamfetamine.
  • Lisdexamfetamine or L-lysine-d-amfetamine (LDX), (2S)-2,6-diamino-N-[(1S)-1- methyl-2-phenylethyl] hexanamide dimethanesulfonate) was first disclosed in US7105486.
  • Lisdexamfetamine has the following structure.
  • Medications comprising lisdexamfetamine, sold under the brand names Elvanse® (DK, GB, SE), Tyvense® (IE), Venvanse® (BR), Vyvanse® (US, CA) among others, are used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in people over the age of five as well as for moderate to severe binge eating disorder in adults.
  • ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
  • Lisdexamfetamine is a pro-drug of dexamfetamine and contains D-amfetamine covalently linked to the essential amino acid L-lysine. It lacks stimulant properties but is hydrolyzed in the gut wall to release D-amfetamine. As it is an inactive material, it cannot be taken nasally, intravenously or in any other way to achieve an illicit stimulant effect. Furthermore, the metabolic hydrolysis of the pro-drug takes some time and as such the formulation has an element of in-built controlled release. The product can deliver dexamfetamine over a period of about 8 hours and so it is useful to treat ADHD in paediatric populations (aged 6 to 12), but the extent of its duration is not considered to be sufficient to treat adolescent and adult populations having much longer active days.
  • Lisdexamfetamine is currently commercially available only as hard capsules or chewable tablets.
  • Each capsule or chewable tablet contains 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 mg lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, equivalent to 5.8 mg, 11.6 mg, 17.3 mg, 23.1 mg, 28.9 mg, 34.7 mg or 40.6 mg of lisdexamfetamine, respectively.
  • Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate has the following structure.
  • oral solid dosage forms such as capsules and chewable tablets are very popular, mainly because of ease of management, for certain users (e.g. children) these forms are not necessarily a convenient option, especially due to difficulty in swallowing these forms. This lack of convenience results in high incidence of non- compliance and ineffective therapy.
  • lisdexamfetamine acid addition salts such as lisdexamfetamine dimesylate and lisdexamfetamine hydrochloride are very soluble in water
  • the desire for the development of an oral solution dosage form of a lisdexamfetamine salt is complicated by the fact that lisdexamfetamine degrades significantly, mainly, at basic (alkaline), oxidative, or other conditions.
  • lisdexamfetamine can be formulated as an aqueous solution, or a sterile composition.
  • the composition may be stored in freeze-dried form and may be associated with a stabilizing agent such as a carbohydrate.
  • the composition may be deployed in an aqueous solution containing salts, e.g., NaCI, detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and other components.
  • salts e.g., NaCI
  • detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)
  • lisdexamfetamine may be formulated as a liquid dispersion for oral administration, for example as a syrup, emulsion, or suspension.
  • Patent application WO 2021/136602 describes aqueous oral solutions comprising a lisdexamfetamine salt, a buffer and one or more cosolvents selected from glycols and polyols, wherein the pH of the solution is from 5.5 to 9.0.

  • the present invention provides a stable aqueous oral solution comprising lisdexamfetamine as active ingredient and a standard amino acid.
  • the present inventors have surprisingly found that the physicochemical stability of an oral solution comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of lisdexamfetamine is enhanced when a standard amino acid is added to the solution.
