BackgroundIntraperitoneal daptomycin is used for the treatment of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis caused by vancomycin-resistant bacteria. This study investigated the stability of daptomycin in a pH-neutral PD solution.MethodsReconstituted solution of daptomycin was added to a total of nine PD bags to obtain a concentration of 20 mg/L and stored at 1 of 3 different temperatures: 4 or 25°C for up to 168 h or 37°C for up to 48 h. Stabilities were determined by visual inspection, pH measurement and high-performance liquid chromatography.ResultsDaptomycin retained more than 90% of its initial concentration for 120, 72 and 12 h at 4°C, 25°C and 37°C, respectively. No physical precipitation or pH change was observed during the study.ConclusionsDaptomycin in a pH-neutral PD solution is physically and chemically stable for 120 and 12 h at 4°C and 37°C, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
