The invention describes compounds, compositions, and methods of using the same comprising a chemical moiety covalently attached to amphetamine. These compounds and compositions are useful for reducing or preventing abuse and overdose of amphetamine. These compounds and compositions find particular use in providing an abuse-resistant alternative treatment for certain disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ADD, narcolepsy, and obesity. Oral bioavailability of amphetamine is maintained at therapeutically useful doses. At higher doses bioavailability is substantially reduced, thereby providing a method of reducing oral abuse liability. Further, compounds and compositions of the invention decrease the bioavailability of amphetamine by parenteral routes, such as intravenous or intranasal administration, further limiting their abuse liability.
本发明描述了一种将化学基团共价连接到安非他命的化合物、组合物和使用方法。这些化合物和组合物可用于减少或预防安非他命的滥用和过量。这些化合物和组合物特别适用于提供一种抗滥用替代治疗某些疾病,如注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)、ADD、嗜睡症和肥胖症。在治疗剂量下,口服生物利用度保持在治疗上有用的水平。在较高剂量下,生物利用度显著降低,从而提供了一种降低口服滥用风险的方法。此外,本发明的化合物和组合物通过静脉或鼻腔给药等肌肉注射途径降低了安非他命的生物利用度,进一步限制了它们的滥用风险。
