Table 3.

Lack of affinity of lisdexamfetamine for a portfolio of abuse-related molecular targets

Receptor or monoamine reuptake transporter target
Benzodiazepine (α1 site) Glycine  (strychnine insensitive)
Dopamine (non-selective) Nicotine (α-bungarotoxin insensitive)
GABAA
GABAB
Opioid (non-selective)
Glutamate
 - AMPA
 - Kainate
 - NMDA
Serotonin (non-selective)
Glycine (strychnine sensitive) Monoamine reuptake transporter
 - DAT
 - NET
 - SERT

DAT, NET, SERT = dopamine, noradrenaline and 5-HT reuptake transporters, respectively.

AMPA = 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-yl)propanoic acid

NMDA = N-methyl-D-aspartate

GABA = γ-aminobutyric acid.

Displacement was determined in vitro at a lisdexamfetamine concentration of 10μM.
