Summary for Patent: 12,161,690
Title:Glycopeptide compositions
Abstract:Solutions comprising a glycopeptide antibiotic, for example Vancomycin, and an amino acid or amino acid derivative such as an N-acetyl amino acid are provided. These solutions are stable or stabilized for long-term periods at conditions of normal use and storage, and can be formulated as pharmaceutical solutions for use in subjects. Methods of manufacturing and using these solutions are also provided, as are methods of stabilizing a glycopeptide antibiotic, for example Vancomycin, using amino acids or amino acid derivatives such as N-acetyl amino acids.
Inventor(s):Ivona Jasprica, Sabina Keser, Katarina Pindric
Assignee: Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc
Application Number:US18/151,155
Patent Claims: 1. An aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising vancomycin and an N-acetyl-D-amino acid, wherein the molar ratio of the N-acetyl-D-amino acid to vancomycin is about 0.5:1 to 40:1, and wherein the composition comprises about 0.1-20% w/V vancomycin and has a pH of 3 to 5.5, and wherein at least 94% of the vancomycin remains after 4 weeks at 25° C. as determined by high pressure liquid chromatography.

2. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5-10% w/V vancomycin.

3. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 2, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5% w/V vancomycin.

4. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 1, wherein the composition has a pH of 4.0-5.5.

5. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 4, wherein the composition has a pH of 4.5-5.5.

6. An aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising vancomycin and an N-acetyl-D-amino acid, wherein the molar ratio of the N-acetyl-D-amino acid to vancomycin is about 1:1 to 30:1, and wherein the composition comprises about 0.1-20% w/V vancomycin and has a pH of 3 to 5.5, and wherein at least 94% of the vancomycin remains after 4 weeks at 25° C. as determined by high pressure liquid chromatography.

7. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 6, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5-10% w/V vancomycin.

8. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 7, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5% w/V vancomycin.

9. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 6, wherein the composition has a pH of 4.0-5.5.

10. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 9, wherein the composition has a pH of 4.5-5.5.

11. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 6, wherein the molar ratio of the N-acetyl-D-amino acid to vancomycin is about 1:1 to 20:1.

12. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 9, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5-10% w/V vancomycin.

13. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 12, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5% w/V vancomycin.

14. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 13, wherein the composition has a pH of 4.0-5.5.

15. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 14, wherein the composition has a pH of 4.5-5.5.

16. An aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising vancomycin and an N-acetyl-D-amino acid, wherein the composition has a pH of 3.0 to 5.5, and wherein the composition comprises 0.1 to 20% w/V vancomycin, and wherein at least 94% of the vancomycin remains after 4 weeks at 25° C. as determined by high pressure liquid chromatography.

17. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 16, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5-10% w/V vancomycin.

18. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 17, wherein the composition comprises about 0.5% w/V vancomycin.

19. The aqueous pharmaceutical composition of claim 16, wherein the composition has a pH of 4.5-5.5.
