Abstract: An improved process for producing a compound of Formula (I).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making particles of a drug wherein use is made of diafiltration. The diafiltration can be with anti-solvent, in which case a precipitate is obtained of particles as such. The diafiltration can also be with a pharmaceutically acceptable suspension medium. In that case several process steps of isolating, drying, transporting of particles can be avoided, because the suspension resulting from the synthesis of the particles is directly turned into a final drug product formulation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the production of particles of a cefquinome acid addition salt, preferably cefquinome sulfate particles, by precipitation of cefquinome acid addition salt, preferably the sulfate, from a cefquinome betaine solution, wherein acid, preferably sulfuric acid, is added to the betaine solution. According to the invention the acid, preferably sulfuric acid, is added quickly in a single shot, in a molar excess of 40% to less than 100%. As a result, particles are formed that comprise agglomerates of microscale primary crystalline particles. This enables providing particles of cefquinome acid addition salt, preferably cefquinome sulfate, in particle sizes commensurate with micronized material, but with improved stability.
