Abstract: The invention relates to salts of primycin formed with an organic acid--preferably a C.sub.1-16 aliphatic carboxylic acid, a halogenated carboxylic acid, an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, an aromatic carboxylic acid, a substituted aromatic carboxylic acid or an organic sulfonic acid--or an inorganic acid--preferably a hydrohalogenic acid. There is further on provided a process for the preparation of new primycin salts which comprises reacting a suspension of primycin sulfate formed with an aliphatic alcohol containing 1-4 carbon atoms with a barium salt. The new primycin salts of the present invention possess excellent antibiotic properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new and simple process for the preparation of quinoline-carboxylic acid derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## as well as hydrates and therapeutically acceptable salts thereof. In the formula the meaning of the substituents is as follows:R is hydrogen atom or a formyl group,R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which may be substituted by a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom or an amino group; or a CH.sub.3 --NH-group,R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.According to the invention the compound of the general formula (II) ##STR2## or an acid addition salt thereof is reacted with piperazine in dimethylformamide and--if desired--the compound of the general formula (III) ##STR3## thus obtained is subjected to an acidic or alkaline treatment, or is reacted advantageously with hydrazine or preferably with hydrazine-hydrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a synergistic, antimicrobial pharmaceutical composition containing 0.01 to 50% by weight of a quinolinecarboxylic acid derivative or a naphthyridinecarboxylic acid derivative of the formula (I), ##STR1## wherein X is carbon or nitrogen;R.sup.1 is hydrogen or fluorine;R.sup.2 is methyl, piperazino or methylpiperazino group; orR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together are a methylenedioxy group; and 0.01 to 95% by weight of a tetracycline derivative of the formula (II), ##STR2## wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are hydrogen; orR.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together represent an additional chemical bond,in 20:1 to 1:50 ratio of the compound of the formula (I) to the compound of the formula (II), optionally in an admixture with an amount required to 100% by weight of an inert, solid or liquid carrier such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, starch, talc, cyclodextrine or water and other additives such as filling, disintegrating, sliding and emulsifying agents.

Abstract: Oxypricin, an antibiotic of the Formula (II) ##STR1## having antibiotic activity is disclosed.
