METHOD OF STABILIZING MACROLIDE COMPOUND

摘要

A method of stabilizing a macrolide compound and a process for efficiently producing the compound. The method, which is for stabilizing a 12-membered cyclic macrolide compound, e.g., that represented by the formula (I), comprises causing the compound to coexist with a cyclodextrin. The process, which is for producing the macrolide compound, comprises causing a cyclodextrin to be present in a culture medium containing an actinomyces having the ability to produce the macrolide compound.
