Abstract: 【Objective】 A new enrofloxacin (ENR) salt was prepared and its solubility was investigated,aiming to improve the solubility of ENR and enrich its crystal form.【Method】 The new ENR salt was prepared by slurry method,and the single crystal was cultivated by slow evaporation method.The new salt was characterized and analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD),single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The dissolution rates of ENR and new salt in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer at 37 ℃ were investigated by powder dissolution rate test.【Result】 The prepared new ENR salt was ENR-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid hemihydrate (ENR-2,6-DHBA·1/2H2O).According to the analysis of single crystal structure,ENR-2,6-DHBA·1/2H2O belonged to triclinic crystal system,P-1 space group,and the unit cell parameters were a=13.2495(7)Å,b=13.8266(11)Å,c=16.0672(8)Å,α=114.301°(6),β=90.322°(4),and γ=114.438°(7).The asymmetric unit of new salt contained two ENR cations,two 2,6-DHBA anions and one H2O molecule in which a proton was transferred from the carboxyl group of 2,6-DHBA to the nitrogen atom of the piperazine in ENR and formed N+-H…O-,confirming that the new form was salt.ENR and H2O were connected by O-H…O hydrogen bonds.FTIR results indicated that the C=O absorption peak on 2,6-DHBA shifted from 1 680 to 1 725 cm-1 due to proton transfer.The melting point of the new salt was 253 ℃,different from those of ENR and 2,6-DHBA.The morphology of the new salt was smooth rod-like shape.The powder dissolution rate curve showed that the apparent solubility of ENR-2,6-DHBA·1/2H2O at equilibrium was 0.65 mg/mL,which was 1.86 times that of ENR.【Conclusion】 The results showed that ENR-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid hemihydrate salt was successfully prepared.The new salt improved the solubility of ENR,which provided reference basis for improving the bioavailability of ENR and enhancing the antibacterial effect.
