Abstract
The present invention provides a method of making quinolone carboxylic acids or naphthyridine carboxylic acids in free base form, the method comprising dissolving a quinolone carboxylic acid salt or naphthyridine carboxylic acid salt in a solvent system to form a solution; combining the solution containing the quinolone carboxylic acid salt or naphthyridine carboxylic acid salt with a calcium salt in an amount in the range of about 0.01% to about 5.0% by weight of the quinolone carboxylic acid salt or naphthyridine carboxylic acid salt and a base, the combination resulting in the formation of a precipitate; and collecting the precipitate. Also provided is a solid bulk pharmaceutical chemical composition comprising 7-(3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl)-8-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-o xoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid or 7-�3-S-(2-S-aminopropionylamino)pyrrolidin-1-yl!-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1, 4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid; and calcium in an amount in the range of 0.001% to about 1.0% by weight of the 7-(3-amino-1-pyrrolidinyl)-8-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-o xoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid or 7-�3-S-(2-S-aminopropionylamino) pyrrolidin-1-yl!-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridin e-3-carboxylic acid.
