Lisdexamphetamine consists of the dextro-rotary stereoisomer of [[amphetamine]] bonded to the essential amino acid L-Lysine. Amphetamine is comprised of a [[phenethylamine]] core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH<sub>2</sub>) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at R<sub>α</sub>. It can be referred to as a methyl homologue of [[phenethylamine]] as it has the same general formula, differing only in the addition of one methyl group.

===Enantiomers===
Amphetamine is a chiral compound. Racemic amphetamine (<small>DL</small>-amphetamine) contains two optical isomers, or enantiomers:
* <small>l</small>-amphetamine (<small>l</small>-amph, <small>l</small>-AMP), levamfetamine ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_nonproprietary_name INN]), levoamphetamine, levorotatory amphetamine, <small>l</small>-isomer amphetamine, (''R'')-(−)-amphetamine, (''R'')-amphetamine, (−)-amphetamine, or (2''R'')-1-Phenylpropan-2-amine ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Union_of_Pure_and_Applied_Chemistry IUPAC] name), is the 'left-handed' enantiomer form of amphetamine.
* <small>d</small>-amphetamine (<small>d</small>-amph, <small>d</small>-AMP), dexamphetamine (INN), dextroamphetamine, dextrorotatory amphetamine, <small>d</small>-isomer amphetamine, or (''S'')-(+)-amphetamine, (''S'')-amphetamine, (+)-amphetamine, or (2''S'')-1-phenylpropan-2-amine (IUPAC name), is the 'right-handed' enantiomer form of amphetamine.
