INN 54th Executive Summary

54th Consultation on International Nonproprietary Names

Overview

During the Consultation, a total of 104 INNs were discussed, including:
  • 83 new INN requests, including 33 for biological substances
  • 21 outstanding requests
As a result of these discussions, 96 new names were selected, which are planned to be published in List 108 of Proposed INNs, while 4 requests were deferred for future discussion. Three requests were rejected by the INN experts, as the substances did not conform to the criteria for INN selection. One INN request has been withdrawn during the selection process.
Two new stems have been selected and three suffixes have been promoted to the pre-stem list.
