Purine nucleotide derivative disodium crystals having a minimized amount
of remaining alcohol such as methanol, ethanol or a mixture thereof are
produced by overdrying purine nucleotide derivative disodium crystals
containing the alcohol; and bringing the overdried purine nucleotide
derivative disodium crystals into contact with an aqueous solution
containing a hydrophilic organic solvent to control the humidity of the
purine nucleotide derivative disodium crystals under a high humidity
condition.
