The effect of 2-hydroxpropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2HPβCD) with or without divalent metal ions (Ca, Mg, and Zn) on the stability of dalbavancin in acetate buffer was investigated. Dalbavancin recovery from formulations with 2HPβCD and divalent metal ions after four weeks of storage at 5 °C and 55 °C was measured by RP-HPLC and HP-SEC; a longer-term study was carried out over six months at 5 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C. Binding of 2HPβCD was characterized by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Article Synopsis
  • Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a powerful tool in cancer diagnostics that allows for comprehensive analysis of genes, improving the detection of complex biomarkers compared to traditional panel-based methods.
  • A study analyzing tissue specimens across 21 NGS centers showed that, although there was a 76% agreement in somatic variant calling, refining filtering criteria improved this to 88%, highlighting the importance of filter settings in variant detection.
  • The reliability of detecting specific genomic changes (like CNAs and complex biomarkers) varied among labs, emphasizing the need for improved bioinformatics processes and collaborative testing to minimize discrepancies in future analyses.
