Lomardexamfetamine (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code name KP-106), also known as L-homoarginine-D-amphetamine, is a psychostimulant of the amphetamine family which was under development for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but was never marketed.[2][3] It is taken orally as an oral film. The drug is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine analogously to lisdexamfetamine and with similarly reduced misuse potential.[3][4] Lomardexamfetamine was originated and under development by KemPharm (now known as Zevra Therapeutics).[2][3] It reached phase 1 clinical trials prior to the discontinuation of its development in 2013.[2][3]

In contrast to extended-release stimulants, which often contain immediate-release stimulant components that are susceptible to mechanical manipulation such as crushing, conversion of the lisdexamfetamine dimesylate prodrug to its active component requires conversion in the blood, potentially reducing abuse or diversion.65 While likeability for lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is lower and dosages needed to get an equivalent effect for drug abusers are higher, clinicians still must consider the potential for abuse of stimulant medications. Another amphetamine prodrug formulation in development, KP106, demonstrated a similar decreased abuse liability profile on the basis of preclinical studies.66
