INN 71st Executive Summary

During the 71st INN Consultation, a total of 239 INN requests was discussed, including:

• 207 new INN requests, including 110 for biological substances

• 28 outstanding requests

• 4 previously selected proposed/recommended INN, against which a formal objection or a request of substitution had been raised.

As a result of these discussions, 225 names were selected, which are planned to be published in List 125 of proposed INN (p.INN), while 7 requests were deferred for future discussion. Three requests were rejected by the INN Expert Group, as the substance did not conform to the criteria for INN selection. Three 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.

Three new stems/substems were selected, seven suffixes were promoted to the pre-stem list and it was decided to review the descriptions of two stems/pre-stems.
