Specific implementation plan
[0029] In the present invention, "crystal form" is characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction pattern shown. Those skilled in the art can understand that the experimental error therein depends on the instrument conditions, sample preparation and sample purity.
[0030] In the present invention, the X-ray powder diffraction pattern is measured by the following method: Test instrument: DX-2700SSC type. Test conditions: 40 kV / 30 mA; scanning 3.0 / 53.0 / 0.05 / 1 (seconds).
[0031] It should be noted that in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern, the diffraction pattern obtained from a crystalline compound is often characteristic of a specific crystal form. The relative intensity of the spectral bands (especially at low angles) may vary due to the preferred orientation effect caused by differences in crystallization conditions, particle size, and other measurement conditions. Therefore, the relative intensity of the diffraction peaks is not characteristic of the targeted crystal form. When determining whether it is the same as a known crystal form, more attention should be paid to the relative positions of the peaks rather than their relative intensities. In addition, for any given crystal form, there may be slight errors in the peak positions, which is also well-known in the field of crystallography. For example, due to changes in temperature during sample analysis, sample movement, or instrument calibration, etc., the peak positions can shift, and the measurement error of the 2θ value is sometimes about ±0.2°. Therefore, this error should be taken into account when determining the crystal structure of each form. In the X-ray powder diffraction pattern, the peak position is usually represented by the 2θ angle or the interplanar spacing d, and there is a simple conversion relationship between them: d = λ / 2sinθ, where d represents the interplanar spacing, λ represents the wavelength of the incident X-ray, and θ is the diffraction angle. For the same crystal form of the same compound, the peak positions of its X-ray powder diffraction pattern are generally similar, and the relative intensity error may be relatively large. It should also be noted that in the identification of mixtures, due to factors such as decreased content, some diffraction lines may be missing. At this time, it is not necessary to rely on all the spectral bands observed in a high-purity sample, and even a single spectral band may be characteristic of a given crystal.
[0032] The stability and hygroscopicity of josamycin propionate polymorph I of the present invention were tested by conventional test methods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
