Abstract: Sitafloxacin is a newly developed fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug. The crystal studied, C₁₉H₁₈ClF₂N₃O₃·CH₃OH, consists of one molecule of sitafloxacin and one methanol solvent molecule. The molecule of sitafloxacin is a zwitterion with a protonated primary amine group and a deprotonated carboxylate group. The cyclopropane ring and the CO₂ group make dihedral angles of 79.5 (3) and 35.4 (4)°, respectively, with the fused ring system. The supramolecular structure is defined by N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds.
