Abstract: Compositions and methods for isolating L-glufosinate from a composition comprising L-glufosinate and glutamate are provided. The method comprises converting the glutamate to pyroglutamate followed by the isolation of L-glufosinate from the pyroglutamate and other components of the composition to obtain substantially purified L-glufosinate. The composition comprising L-glufosinate and glutamate is subjected to an elevated temperature for a sufficient time to allow for the conversion of glutamate to pyroglutamate, followed by the isolation of L-glufosinate from the pyroglutamate and other components of the composition to obtain substantially purified L-glufosinate. The glutamate alternatively may be converted to pyroglutamate by enzymatic conversion. The purified L-glufosinate is present in a final composition at a concentration of 90% or greater of the sum of L-glufosinate, glutamate, and pyroglutamate.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for making a crystalline form of N-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-5-(ethyl (tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)amino)-4-methyl-4?-(morpholinomethyl)-[1,1?-biphenyl]-3-carboxamide hydrobromide and related products, compositions and treatment methods.

Abstract: A system that includes a failed test detector and a task updater can automatically update tasks associated with consistent failures of software tests in a software development management platform. The failed test detector can use a set of evidence of test (EOT) files that indicate software testing results over a period of time to identify tests that are consistently failing when executed against versions of a software application. The task updater can automatically create tasks associated with such consistently-failing tests in the software development management platform. The task updater can also automatically close existing tasks associated with tests, in the software development management system, if the failed test detector determines that those tests are no longer failing consistently.
