AI Technical Summary
Daptomycin is easily hydrolyzed and degraded in aqueous solution, resulting in poor stability. Existing technologies cannot achieve stability under refrigeration conditions, with stability lasting only 5 days and at room temperature only 2 days. Furthermore, the lyophilized powder for injection requires reconstitution, which poses a risk of reconstitution.
A stable aqueous solution formulation containing ester peptide drugs and amino acid derivatives such as N-acetyl-cysteine is used. By adding amino acid derivatives such as N-acetyl-cysteine, a stable aqueous solution of ester peptide drugs is formed, which inhibits the production of daptomycin lactone hydrolysate, β-isomer and dehydrated daptomycin.
It achieves the stability of ester peptide drugs in aqueous solution at 2-8℃ for at least 12 months, reduces the impurity growth rate to less than 0.01% w/w/day, avoids the reconstitution step of lyophilized powder injection, and improves the stability and ease of use of the drug.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the medical field, specifically relating to a stable aqueous solution of ester peptide drugs, aiming to solve the stability problem of ester peptide drugs, including daptomycin. Background Technology
[0002] Lipopeptides represent a class of potent anti-infective drugs that exhibit high antibacterial and antifungal activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria. A wide variety of lipopeptide drugs are currently available on the market, such as daptomycin, telavancin, caspofungin, micafungin, and anidulafungin, to combat invasive and often life-threatening infections.
[0003] Daptomycin's chemical name is: N-decanoyl-L-tryptophyl-D-asparaginyl-L-aspartyl-L-threonylglycyl-L-ornithyl-L-aspartyl-D-alanyl-L-aspartylglycyl-D-seryl-threo-3-methyl-L-glutamyl-3-anthraniloyl-L-alanineε1-lactone, and its molecular formula is: C 72 H 101 N 17 O 26 Its molecular weight is 1620.67, and its structural formula is as follows:
[0004]
[0005] Daptomycin (DAP) is a cyclic ester peptide compound. In 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved injectable daptomycin (brand name Cubicin) through a fast-track process for the treatment of secondary skin and skin structure infections caused by certain Gram-positive susceptible bacterial strains, such as abscesses, surgical site infections, and skin ulcers. Daptomycin works by disrupting the transport of amino acids across the cell membrane, thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell wall and altering the properties of the cell membrane. Additionally, it can kill bacteria by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, causing its contents to leak out. Therefore, it may be difficult for bacteria to develop resistance to daptomycin.
[0006] Daptomycin is highly effective against Gram-positive bacteria and is used to treat the following infections:
[0007] 1. Complicated skin and soft tissue infections (CSSSI): Treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equina, and Enterococcus faecalis (only for vancomycin-sensitive strains).
[0008] 2. Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant) bloodstream infection (bacteremia), and associated right-sided infective endocarditis.
[0009] According to existing literature, daptomycin is difficult to stabilize in solution, especially in aqueous solution, because it is readily hydrolyzed and degraded, and is known to degrade in slightly acidic solutions via aspartic transpeptidation at the asp-9 residue. Therefore, daptomycin is only marketed domestically and internationally as a lyophilized powder for intravenous injection. Lyophilized daptomycin powder exhibits rapid degradation upon reconstitution, and aqueous solutions also degrade during short-term storage; therefore, daptomycin is not suitable for long-term storage in aqueous solution. Currently, commercially available daptomycin formulated in reconstituted solution form (i.e., aqueous daptomycin) has a stability of 5 days under refrigeration, while its maximum stability at room temperature is 2 days. The main degradation products of daptomycin are daptomycin lactone hydrolysate, daptomycin β-isomer, and dehydrated daptomycin, with the following structural formulas:
[0010]
[0011]
[0012] For example, Kirsch disclosed the generation of dehydrated daptomycin and its β-isomer during the purification of daptomycin (Pharmaceutical Research, 6:387-393, 1989, Kirsch). Kirsch described a method for minimizing the levels of dehydrated daptomycin and its β-isomer by controlling pH and temperature conditions. However, Kirsch could not stabilize daptomycin and could not prevent the conversion of daptomycin to dehydrated daptomycin and its subsequent isomerization to the β-isomer. Kirsch also could not prevent the degradation of daptomycin into other degradation products unrelated to dehydrated daptomycin and its β-isomer. US Patent 6696412 discloses several additional impurities present in fermentation products from which daptomycin is derived, and provides a method for producing purified daptomycin with increased purity. These additional impurities include lactone hydrolysates of daptomycin. The disclosed daptomycin purification method may include forming daptomycin micelles, removing low molecular weight contaminants by filtration, then converting the micelle filtrate containing daptomycin into a non-micelle state, followed by anion exchange and reverse osmosis filtration to obtain high-purity daptomycin, and then lyophilizing it. The process is complex.
[0013] WO2014041425 discloses a lyophilized daptomycin formulation containing additives, wherein the excipients may be antioxidants, organic acids, or glucose derivatives. WO2013103801 discloses a powder formulation containing daptomycin and polyethylene glycol. WO20111063419 discloses a lyophilized daptomycin formulation with a shorter reconstitution time. Although these patent applications attempt to improve the stability of daptomycin, they all inevitably involve a reconstitution step and the risk of mismatch. Summary of the Invention
