The invention relates to a novel
crystal form of
cefuroxime acid and a preparation method thereof. In
X ray powder diffraction, the novel
crystal form of
cefuroxime acid has characteristic peaks at
diffraction angles 2 theta of 8.06, 9.96, 10.44, 11.84, 12.82, 16.34, 19.02, 20.02, 21.86, 23.22, 25.46, 25.98, 33.12, 34.24 and 36.40 degrees. The preparation method comprises the following steps of adding
cefuroxime raw materials into an
acetonitrile mixed
solvent to obtain a solution having a concentration of 0.1 to 0.2g / ml, stirring at a temperature of 25 to 35 DEG C for complete
dissolution, continuously stirring for 30 to 60 minutes, carrying out
filtration and decoloration, transferring filtrate to a crystallizer, adding a
hydrochloric acid solution into the crystallizer to adjust a pH value of the
mixed solution to 3-4, cooling to a temperature of 10 to 15 DEG C, adding cefuroxime acid seed crystals into the crystallizer, carrying out
crystallization for 1 to 2 hours, adding water as a solventing-out agent into the crystallizer, sequentially cooling to a temperature of 0 to 5 DEG C, carrying out
crystallization for 1 to 3 hours, filtering, washing
filter cake by a washing
solvent, and
drying to obtain products. The novel
crystal form of cefuroxime acid has HPLC content above 99.3%, avoids crystal accumulation, has
large particle sizes, wherein a main particle size is more than 100 microns, and also has uniform
particle size distribution and a single-cycle mole yield above 88% in
crystallization.
