57th Consultation on International Nonproprietary Names
9 December 2013
| Publication
Overview
During the Consultation, a total of 132 INNs were discussed, including:
- 107 new INN requests, including 47 for biological substances
- 23 outstanding requests
- 2 previously selected proposed INN, against which a formal objection had been raised
As a result of these discussions, 112 new names were selected, which are planned to be published in List 111 of Proposed INNs, while 14 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. Two amendments are planned to be published in List 110 of Proposed INNs. One request has been withdrawn. Three new stems have been selected and 6 suffixes have been promoted to the pre-stem list.
