-
Page/Page column 15-16, (2011/02/24)
The present invention relates to methods for improving the purity of azithromycin, preferably by purifying azithromycin from degradation products and/or isomers. The invention describes a degradation product of azithromycin which may be produced during drying and/or storage of azithromycin and relates to methods of removing the degradation product(s). The invention further relates to a method for preparing azithromycin dihydrate from crude azithromycin containing the isomer azithromycin B. The invention furthermore relates to a combined process for making azithromycin dihydrate which combines the method for the purification of azithromycin from degradation products with the method for making azithromycin dihydrate which removes the isomer azithromycin B.
