A composition comprising BL-8040 (SEQ ID NO: 1) is disclosed herein, which may be for use in treating a condition treatable by BL-8040. The composition further comprises at least one compound characterized by a relative retention time of from 0.86 to 0.88 and/or a relative retention time of from 0.71 to 0.73 (wherein a relative retention time of BL-8040 is 1) under conditions described herein.

Composition of BL-8040

A large-scale process is described herein for preparing a cyclic peptide as described, comprising solid phase peptide synthesis of a linear peptide and cleaving it from the resin; oxidizing cysteine residues to form an intramolecular disulfide bond; and isolating the cyclic peptide, wherein:

Process for manufacturing peptide

An acid addition salt of a nortriptyline-GABA conjugate, a novel crystalline form of a fumaric acid addition salt of a nortriptyline-GABA conjugate, and processes of preparing the forgoing are disclosed. Uses of the above-indicated forms of a nortriptyline-GABA conjugate in the treatment of CNS disorders, and in the treatment of pain in particular, are also disclosed. Further disclosed in a large-scale process of preparing a nortriptyline-GABA conjugate.

Acid addition salt of a nortriptyline-GABA conjugate and a process of preparing same

Novel crystalline form of perphenazine 4-aminobutyrate trimesylate and a process of producing the same are disclosed. The novel crystalline form is characterized by a unique XRPD pattern and a DSC that exhibits an endothermic peak at a relatively high temperature (e.g., higher than 209&#xb0; C.). Also disclosed are a process of preparing perphenazine 4-aminobutyrate trimesylate by in situ deprotection and salification, in a single-step synthesis, and a highly pure perphenazine 4-aminobutyrate trimesylate obtained thereby. Uses of any of the described perphenazine 4-aminobutyrate trimesylate are also disclosed.
