Abstract
Novel 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihyono-4-oxo -7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid.sesquihydrate (ATT-2266.sesquihydrate). The aforesaid compound can be prepared by heating 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo -7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid at a temperature above about 60.degree. C. in the presence of water in an amount sufficient to form the sesquihydrate.
