Abstract A relatively nonhygroscopic crystalline form of the glycopeptide, N-acetylmuramyl-L-α-aminobu-tyryl-D-isoglutamine (I), containing approximately one molecule of water was prepared from amorphous material. The crystalline material, consisting of a mixture of the α and β anomers, exhibited better physical and chemical stability than the lyophilized amorphous material. The α/β-anomer ratios of I in both the crystalline and the amorphous state were approximately equal but different from that in solution.
