Small molecule
Basic amino groups (in free base)
No vulnerable groups for degradation under mild
conditions (2-aminobutanol synthesis impurity)
2 chiral carbon atoms, optically active (test)
Hygroscopic (solubility in water: 50% m/m)
Can dissolve in absorbed water at high relative humidity
Forms metal complexes
USP: Preserve in well-closed containers

Cycloserine
R-configuration
Optically active

Stable in anhydrous solid state, protected from water
Degrades in solution, or when solid is exposed to moisture
Pathway1: Dimerisation through one molecule attacking other
Pathway 2: Hydrolysis to -aminoxy-D-alanine
Stability: alkaline medium > neutral >> acid medium
Dissolution medium capsules: buffer pH 6.8 !!! (USP)
Primary amine: react with aldehydes/ketones
