As a result of these discussions, 95 new names were selected, which are planned to be published in

List 105 of Proposed INNs, while 5 requests were deferred for future discussion. Four requests were

rejected by the INN experts, as the substances did not conform to the criteria for INN selection.

INN request has been withdrawn during the selection process.
