49th Consultation on International Nonproprietary Names
9 March 2010
| Publication

Overview
During the Consultation, a total of 128 INNs were discussed, including:
• 99 new INN requests, including 32 for biological substances
• 23 outstanding requests
• 5 previously selected proposed INN, against which a formal objection had been raised
• 1 request for substitution.
As a result of these discussions, 114 new names were selected, which are planned to be published in List 103 of Proposed INNs, while 5 requests were deferred for future discussion. Five requests were rejected by the INN experts, as the substances did not conform to the criteria for INN selection. Two amendments were planned to be published in List 103. Two requests have been withdrawn by their applicants as their development ceased during the selection process.
