INN 58th Executive Summary

58th Consultation on International Nonproprietary Names

9 August 2014

| Publication

During the Consultation, a total of 119 INNs were discussed, including:

80 new INN requests, including 35 for biological substances
32 outstanding requests
7 previously selected proposed INN, against which a formal objection had been raised

As a result of these discussions, 96 new names were selected, which are planned to be

published in List 112 of Proposed INNs, while 13 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. Five amendments are planned to be published in

Lists 111/112. Two objections were not retained. Five new stems/sub-stems have been

selected and 5 suffixes have been promoted to the pre-stem list
