INN 67th Executive Summary

67th Consultation on International Nonproprietary Names

9 February 2019

| Publication

During the 67th INN Consultation, a total of 181 INN requests were discussed, including:

142 new INN requests, including 79 for biological substances
33 outstanding requests
6 previously selected proposed/recommended INN, against which a formal objection or a request of substitution had been raised.

As a result of these discussions, 170 names were selected, which are planned to be published

in List 121 of Proposed INNs (p.INN), while 9 requests were deferred for future discussion.

One request was rejected by the INN Expert Group, as the substance did not conform to the

criteria for INN selection. Four amendments were planned to be published in a forthcoming

List of p.INN; one request of substitution could not be retained as it did not conform to the

criteria.

Seven new stems/substems were selected, 3 suffixes were promoted to the pre-stem list and it

was decided to review the descriptions of one pre-stem.
