example 1

[0135] Daptomycin was prepared by conventional techniques. The daptomycin preparation was a pale yellow amorphous powder, with a solubility at 25° C. of greater than 1 g / mL in water and a solubility of 2.8 mg / mL in ethanol. The amorphous daptomycin preparation was hygroscopic and decomposed at 215° C.

[0136] The remaining examples describe crystallizing or precipitating lipopeptides in the presence or absence of an organic precipitant (e.g., PEG).

example 2

[0137] In a microbatch crystallization, 25 μL of a daptomycin stock (20 mg / mL in methanol) was sequentially mixed with 15 μL of reagent stock (200 mM calcium acetate, 0.1 M cacodylate (pH 6.5), 18% [w / v] PEG 8000 and 15 μL ethylene glycol) to give a solution that was 27.5% aqueous component, 45% methanol and 27.5% ethylene glycol. Urchin-like crystals were formed at a yield of 50% with a purity of 98% as measured by HPLC.

example 3

[0138] A daptomycin stock was prepared by dissolving 440 mg daptomycin in 1 mL of a buffer containing 25 mM sodium acetate (pH 5.0) and 5 mM CaCl2. Crystallization was done by the vapor diffusion (hanging drop) method, in which 5 μL of the daptomycin stock was added to 5 μL of 0.1 M tri-sodium citrate dihydrate (pH 5.6), and 35% [v / v] tert-butanol in water to form a drop. The drop was suspended over a reservoir solution (0.1 M tri-sodium citrate dihydrate (pH5.6), and 35% [v / v] tert-butanol in water) in an=air-tight-environment until crystallization occurred. This method yielded urchin-like daptomycin crystals. See, e.g., FIG. 2.
