4-Hydroxyamphetamine (4HA), also known as hydroxyamfetamine (INN and BAN), hydroxyamphetamine (USAN), oxamphetamine, norpholedrine, para-hydroxyamphetamine, and α-methyltyramine, is a sympathomimetic drug, that is, a drug that stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.

When used in eye drops, it dilates the pupil. 4-Hydroxyamphetamine is sold in combination with tropicamide under the brand name Paremyd.

Pharmacology

[edit]

Pharmacokinetics

[edit]

4-Hydroxyamphetamine is a major metabolite of amphetamine. In humans, amphetamine is metabolized to 4-hydroxyamphetamine by CYP2D6, which is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily and is found in the liver.[1][2] 4-Hydroxyamphetamine is then eliminated in the urine.[3]

In humans, 4-hydroxyamphetamine is a metabolite of amphetamine. The hydroxylation of substituted amphetamines is typically mediated by CYP2D6 and dopamine β-hydroxylase.


Pharmacodynamics

[edit]

4-Hydroxyamphetamine acts as an indirect sympathomimetic.[15] When injected into the bloodstream or into the brain, it disrupts the regulation of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) by inhibiting the activity of a family of enzymes called monoamine oxidases (MAOs), particularly type A (MAO-A). The inhibition of MAO-A prevents metabolism of serotonin in the presynaptic terminal, and thus causes a build up of serotonin. Excessive amounts of serotonin are then released into the synaptic cleft. The released serotonin binds to serotonin receptors on the postsynaptic terminal, causing excessive nerve response. Reuptake of unbound serotonin perpetuates the response by replenishing the any deficit of serotonin in the presynaptic terminal that might have been caused by the release of serotonin into the synaptic cleft.[16]

4-Hydroxyamphetamine is also an agonist of human TAAR1.[17]

Diagnostic Use

[edit]

If instilled in the eye using an appropriate eye drop dosage and formulation, 4-hydroxyamphetamine causes the release of norepinephrine from the nerve synapses leading to mydriasis.[18] 4-Hydroxyamphetamine hydrobromide is a known formulation that can be used as a diagnostic tool for Horner's syndrome. Patients with Horner’s syndrome exhibit anisocoria brought about by lesions on the nerves the connect to the nasociliary branch of the ophthalmic nerve.[19] Application of 4-hydroxyamphetamine to the eye can indicate whether the lesion is preganglionic or postganglionic based on the pupil’s response. If the pupil dilates, the lesion is preganglionic. If the pupil does not dilate, the lesion is postganglionic.[20]

Unfortunately, 4-hydroxyamphetamine has a few limitations to its use as a diagnostic tool. If it is intended as an immediate follow up to another mydriatic drug (cocaine or apraclonidine), then the patient must wait anywhere from a day to a week before 4-hydroxyamphetamine can be administered.[21][22] It also has the tendency to falsely localize lesions in cases of acute onset; in cases where a postganglionic lesion is present but the nerve still responds to residual norepinephrine; or in cases in which unrelated nerve damage masks the presence of a preganglionic lesion.[23][24][25]

Commercialization

[edit]

Hydroxyamphetamine is a known component of two controlled (prescription only), name-brand ophthalmic mydriatics: Paredrine and Paremyd. Paredrine consists of a 1% solution of hydroxyamphetamine hydrobromide[26] while Paremyd consists of a combination of 1% hydroxyamphetamine hydrobromide and 0.25% tropicamide. [27] In the 1990s, the trade name rights, patents, and new drug applications (NDAs) for the two formulations were exchanged among a few different manufacturers after a shortage of the raw material required for their production, which caused both drugs to be indefinitely removed from the market [1]. Around 1997, Akorn, Inc., obtained the rights to both Paredrine and Paremyd[2], and in 2002, the company reintroduced Paremyd to the market as a fast acting ophthalmic mydriatic and cycloplegic[3][4][5].

The simplest unsubstituted phenylisopropylamine, 1-phenyl-2-aminopropane, or amphetamine, serves as a common structural template for hallucinogens and psychostimulants. Amphetamine produces central stimulant, anorectic, and sympathomimetic actions, and it is the prototype member of this class (39). ... The phase 1 metabolism of amphetamine analogs is catalyzed by two systems: cytochrome P450 and flavin monooxygenase. ... Amphetamine can also undergo aromatic hydroxylation to p-hydroxyamphetamine. ... Subsequent oxidation at the benzylic position by DA β-hydroxylase affords p-hydroxynorephedrine. Alternatively, direct oxidation of amphetamine by DA β-hydroxylase can afford norephedrine.

Neuropharmacology. 13 (12): 1187–1190. doi:10.1016/0028-3908(74)90069-0. PMID 4457764. In species where aromatic hydroxylation of amphetamine is the major metabolic pathway, p-hydroxyamphetamine (POH) and p-hydroxynorephedrine (PHN) may contribute to the pharmacological profile of the parent drug. ... The location of the p-hydroxylation and β-hydroxylation reactions is important in species where aromatic hydroxylation of amphetamine is the predominant pathway of metabolism. Following systemic administration of amphetamine to rats, POH has been found in urine and in plasma.
    The observed lack of a significant accumulation of PHN in brain following the intraventricular administration of (+)-amphetamine and the formation of appreciable amounts of PHN from (+)-POH in brain tissue in vivo supports the view that the aromatic hydroxylation of amphetamine following its systemic administration occurs predominantly in the periphery, and that POH is then transported through the blood-brain barrier, taken up by noradrenergic neurones in brain where (+)-POH is converted in the storage vesicles by dopamine β-hydroxylase to PHN.

The metabolism of p-OHA to p-OHNor is well documented and dopamine-β hydroxylase present in noradrenergic neurons could easily convert p-OHA to p-OHNor after intraventricular administration.
