Publication number: 20090131334Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2008Publication date: May 21, 2009Applicant: SHIRE LLCInventors: Travis Mickle, Suma Krishnan, Barney Bishop, Christopher Lauderback, James Scott Moncrief, Robert Oberlender, Thomas Piccariello, Bernhard J.

Publication number: 20080176875Abstract: This invention relates to the discovery of prodrugs of 3- or 5-substituted analogues of the selective platelet lowering agent anagrelide which have reduced potential for cardiovascular side-effects and which should therefore lead to improved patient compliance and safety in the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to prodrugs of certain imidazoquinazoline derivatives which have utility as platelet lowering agents in humans. The compounds of the present invention function by inhibiting the formation of blood platelets.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2007Publication date: July 24, 2008Applicant: SHIRE LLCInventors: Richard Franklin, Bernard T. Golding, Peter A. Cicala
