USPTO Abstract

In an aspect, a method of manufacture of a pharmaceutically acceptable solid composition containing daptomycin includes drying an aqueous solution containing (i) water, (ii) the daptomycin, (iii) sorbitol in an amount of about 1.2 wt. % to about 9.0 wt. % of total volume of the aqueous composition and (iv) mannitol in an amount of about 0.6 wt. % to about 9.5 wt. % of total volume of the aqueous composition to form the solid composition. The drying can include an sublimation drying of about −25° C. to about 50° C. for a time period of about 15 hours to about 120 hours, most preferably about 15° C. for about 20 hours, optionally preceded and/or followed by one or more additional drying steps. Other aspects are the solid composition containing the daptomycin and also methods of treating a bacterial infection including administering a pharmaceutically acceptable product made by reconstituting the solid composition.
