The invention belongs to the field of medical
chemistry, and particularly relates to a
crystal form I of josamycin
propionate as well as a preparation method and application thereof. An X-
ray powder diffraction pattern of the josamycin
propionate crystal form I has characteristic peaks at the following
diffraction angles 2 theta: 4.81 degrees + / -0.2, 5.93 degrees + / -0.2, 7.27 degrees + / -0.2, 8.98 degrees + / -0.2, 9.60 degrees + / -0.2, 10.11 degrees + / -0.2, 10.92 degrees + / -0.2, 12.18 degrees + / -0.2, 14.82 degrees + / -0.2 and 15.40 degrees + / -0.2. The josamycin
propionate crystal form I provided by the invention is high in purity, good in stability, simple in preparation method, low in cost and suitable for industrial production, and the hygroscopicity of the josamycin propionate crystal form I can meet medicinal requirements.
