ABSTRACT
Dalbavancin is the second-generation approved semisynthetic lipoglycopeptide by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections. Unlike other lipoglycopeptides, the stability behavior of Dalbavancin was least explored, which is a prerequisite. The current study endeavors to elucidate the oxidative and hydrolytic stability behavior of Dalbavancin by exposing the drug to oxidative, acidic, and basic stress conditions. A simple liquid chromatography (LC) method was developed, where significant resolution between Dalbavancin, its homologs, and the generated degradation products was achieved. Seven degradation products were identified under acidic, basic, and oxidative stress conditions. Using liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), MS/MS studies, the generated degradation products were identified and characterized. Formation of isomeric degradation products was identified especially upon exposure to basic stress conditions. The mechanistic fragmentation pathway for the seven degradation products was established, and the chemical structure for the identified degradation products was elucidated. The results strongly suggest that Dalbavancin is highly susceptible to degradation under oxidative and hydrolytic stress conditions. This study provides insights into the hydrolytic and oxidative stability of Dalbavancin, which can be employed during drug development and discovery in synthesizing relatively stable analogs.
