Crystalline sulfuric, di-nitric, mono-hydrochloric, di-hydrochloric, and di- and sesqui-orthosphosphoric acid addition salts of 7-[.alpha.-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-.alpha.-(Z)-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[(1- methyl-1-pyrrolidinio)methyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate are stable even at elevated temperatures. The crystalline sulfuric acid addition salt is made by forming an admixture of (a) at least one molar equivalent of sulfuric acid with (b) zwitterion in an amount so as to be present in the admixture at a concentration of greater than 25 milligrams/ml, causing crystallization, separating the crystals, washing and drying. The crystalline monohydrochloride, dihydrochloride, and orthophosphate salts are prepared by dissolving the zwitterion in the appropriate amount of acid, causing crystallization by adding acetone and isolating the crystals. Physical admixtures of the salts with certain bases in proportions to give a pH ranging from about 3.5 to about 7 on dilution with water provide injectable compositions on dilution.

Injectable compositions of cefepime dihydrochloride hydrate

This invention relates to novel compositions of the antitumor agent [4'-9-(acridinylamino) methanesulfon-m-anisidide], (m-AMSA). Acid salts of m-AMSA are dissolved in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone to provide highly stable solutions. The solutions may be diluted with Sterile Water for Injection, U.S.P. to provide stable, non-precipitating solutions for intravenous use.

The crystalline triethylamine salt of cefbuperazone is stable in the dry state and soluble in water and in aqueous injection vehicles.

Cefbuperazone crystalline triethylamine salt

Crystalline adducts of 7-[(Z)-2-methoxyimino-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido-3-[(1-methyl-1-pyrr olidinium)methyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate selected from the group consisting of the di(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone) adduct and the di(N-formyl pyrrolidine) adduct and salt complexes thereof have been found to be stable at even high temperatures. The crystalline adducts are prepared by forming an admixture of adducting agents, zwitterions and seed adduct crystals and inducing crystallization followed by isolating the crystals. A process for preparing adduct salt complexes is also disclosed. Crystalline zwitterion can be formed by slurrying the adducts in a solvent which removes the adducting agents.
