Regulating medicine manufacturers: is an on-site inspection the only option?

The Australian approach to meeting inspection demands

On-site inspections of manufacturing and testing sites for medicines are resource-intensive for both regulators and manufacturers, especially as an increasing number of sites are located outside regulatory authorities’ territories. To maximize the impact of limited resources, it is therefore good regulatory practice to leverage available evidence from other agencies as part of a risk-based inspection planning process. The Australian Department of Health’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has been using a risk- and reliance-based approach in inspection planning for some time. This article describes the TGA’s pathways for granting good manufacturing practice (GMP) clearance.

Background Pharmaceuticals Inspection Cooperation A cornerstone of effective medicine Scheme (PIC/S).(4) regulation is ensuring that the medicines Where the manufacturer has been available within a market meet appropriate previously inspected and approved by quality standards. To this end, a national the NRA, an onsite assessment may be regulatory authority (NRA) will assess avoided if the manufacturing steps are the product quality data during pre-market same. If the product is approved for supply, assessment. Generally, this involves the NRA monitors the manufacturer’s assessment of quality data provided as compliance with applicable GMP standards part of the application dossier (1) by the via regular inspections, either announced or applicant, and an onsite inspection of the unannounced. product manufacturer against compliance A key objective of a GMP inspections with the applicable Good Manufacturing programme is to provide the NRA with a Practice (GMP) standards, such as those proactive mechanism for identifying and developed by WHO and used in its preventing quality related medicine safety Prequalification Programme(2,3) or those of risks.

Placebo and drug kits in clinical trial design

New and improved medicinal products are continuously needed throughout the world to prevent and treat diseases. Good quality clinical trials are key in bringing new safe and effective medicines to patients. Some information is outlined below on specific aspects of conducting clinical studies, namely the use of placebo as a control intervention and the use of drug kits for effective blinding of trials.

Introduction The use of placebo Before novel medicinal products are A placebo has been defined as “an inert introduced into widespread use, they must substance or sham procedure that is be assessed in clinical trials. Randomized provided to research participants with controlled trials (RCTs) are often considered the aim of making it impossible for them, the gold standard in this regard, although and usually the researchers themselves, to other study designs can also yield valid know who is receiving an active or inactive research results. Clinical trials should be intervention.”(1) designed in such a way that the effects of Placebos typically consist of the the experimental intervention are compared ingredients employed in the medicinal with those of a control intervention. In a product under study minus the active controlled trial, the subjects in the study and ingredient, making them inert. The inactive control group should be drawn from the ingredients (excipients) employed in a same population, and should preferably be pharmaceutical product must be “generally assigned to the groups by randomization to recognized as safe”1 for use in humans, remove bias in the allocation of participants. otherwise a medicinal product would not be Where feasible, clinical trials should be authorized for use. blinded, so that the subjects – and in In vaccine research, the term “placebo” is double-blinded studies also the researchers also applied to non-inert substances. In this – are unaware of who is receiving which context, an existing vaccine not studied in intervention. This helps to avoid behaviour the trial is added to both the investigational changes that may influence the study and the control product in order to avoid outcomes.(1) giving an “empty” injection to the subjects Two questions are discussed below in the control group. A disadvantage of that commonly arise in developing and this approach is that it complicates the evaluating clinical trial designs, namely in what situations it is acceptable to use placebo 1 The U.S. Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act makes in the control arm, and how to achieve provision for food additives to be shown to be effective blinding. “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS) through scientific procedures.

Mebendazole tablets (Mebendazoli compressi)

This is a draft proposal of a monograph for The International Pharmacopoeia (Working document QAS/16.685, March 2017). The working document with line numbers is available for comment at www. who.int/medicines/areas/quality_safety/quality_assurance/projects. Please address any comments to: World Health Organization, Quality Assurance and Safety: Medicines, Dr Herbert Schmidt, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland; fax: +41 22 791 4730; email: [email protected].

Category. Anthelmintic. Storage. Mebendazole tablets should be kept in a tightly closed container. Additional information. Strengths in the current WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML): 100 mg, 500 mg. Strengths in the current WHO EML for children: 100 mg, 500 mg.

Requirements Comply with the monograph for Tablets. Definition.Mebendazole tablets contain not less than 90.0% and not more than 110.0% of the amount of mebendazole (C16H13N3O3) stated on the label. Manufacture. The formulation, manufacturing process and product packaging of mebendazole tablets are designed and controlled so as to minimize the conversion of the polymorphic form of mebendazole from C to A. They ensure that, at any stage of the life cycle of the product, when tested by a suitable method such as infrared spectrometry (see Identity test A) or X-ray powder diffractometry, the mebendazole in the tablets is predominantly in the form of polymorph C.

202 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

Identity tests • Either tests A and B or tests A and C may be applied. A. To a quantity of the powdered tablets containing 0.05 g of Mebendazole add 20 mL of water R, shake, filter and wash the residue with three quantities, each of 10 mL of water R. Dry the residue overnight under vacuum at room temperature and carry out the examination with the residue as described under 1.7 Spectrophotometry in the infrared region. The two infrared absorption bands at about 3405 cm-1 and 1720 cm-1 are concordant with those in the spectrum obtained from mebendazole RS (containing mebendazole polymorph C). B. Carry out the test as described under 1.14.1 Thin-layer chromatography using silica gel R6 as the coating substance and a mixture of 85 volumes of dichloromethane R, 5 volumes of methanol R, 5 volumes of acetone R and 5 volumes of anhydrous formic acid R as the mobile phase. Apply separately to the plate 5 μL of each of the following solutions. For solution (A) add 2 mL of formic acid R to a quantity of the powdered tablets containing 20 mg of mebendazole and sonicate for about 5 minutes. Add 18 mL of acetone R, mix, filter and use the filtrate. For solution (B) dissolve 10 mg of mebendazole RS in 1 mL of formic acid R and shake. Add 9 mL of acetone R and mix. After removing the plate from the chromatographic chamber allow it to dry in air and examine the chromatogram in ultraviolet light (254 nm). The principal spot obtained with solution (A) corresponds in position, appearance and intensity with that obtained with solution (B). D. Carry out the test as described under 1.14.4 High-performance liquid chromatography using the conditions under “Assay”. The retention time of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) corresponds to the retention time of the peak due to mebendazole obtained with solution (2).

Related substances Carry out the test as described under 1.14.4 High-performance liquid chromatography using a stainless steel column (10 cm × 4.6 mm) packed with base-deactivated particles of silica gel, the surface of which has been modified with chemically-bonded octadecylsilyl groups (3 μm).1 Use the following conditions for gradient elution: mobile phase A: 7.5 g/L solution of ammonium acetate R; mobile phase B: Acetonitrile R.

Concept paper for comment Transition from microbiological to physicochemical assays in monographs on capreomycin active pharmaceutical ingredients and products

This is a concept paper (Working document QAS/16.695, April 2017) proposed by the Secretariat of The International Pharmacopoeia. The strength of antibiotics can be determined using microbiological or physicochemical assays. While traditionally microbiological methods were predominantly used in quality control of antibiotics, physicochemical methods are nowadays preferred for various reasons. The transition from microbiological to physicochemical assays has been largely completed for single-component antibiotics. For multicomponent antibiotics, however, the use of physicochemical methods remains challenging. Following discussions and decisions at meetings of the WHO Expert Committees on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations and on Biological Standardization, the Secretariat of The International Pharmacopoeia is seeking information and international collaboration in order to establish a chromatographic assay as an alternative to microbiological assays for the essential medicine capreomycin powder for injection and the corresponding active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) capreomycin sulfate. In addition, this initiative aims at harmonizing quality control requirements for these products. It may also provide new insights which can facilitate transitions of other antibiotics. The Secretariat of The International Pharmacopoeia invites stakeholders, in particular regulatory authorities, pharmacopoeias and manufacturers of capreomycin sulfate, capreomycin powders for injection and other medicines containing multicomponent antibiotics, to comment on the proposals made in this document. Subsequent steps, in particular the performance of a bridging study to link the mass with the activity of capreomycin, will be decided inter alia based on the discussions of the comments received. The working document with line numbers is available for comment at www.who. int/medicines/areas/quality_safety/quality_assurance/projects.

Scope of the document This document proposes steps to finish the transition of the tuberculostatic aminoglycoside capreomycin that has been started with the publication of chromatographic assay methods in the monographs on Capreomycin sulfate and Capreomycin powder for injection of The International Pharmacopeia. In the course of the transition, factors that may pose a risk to the safety of patients shall be identified and controlled, in particular by means of two surveys: a landscape analysis of capreomycin APIs and products on the global market and a comparison

214 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

of national capreomycin reference substances. Besides, this proposal aims at the international harmonization of quality control requirements for capreomycin.

Background information Antibiotics produced by fermentation often consist of complex mixtures of structurally related components with different activities. Microbiological methods were historically used to quantify the total activity of these mixtures. As evidence of their structure and composition increased, transitions from microbiological to physicochemical assays, in particular chromatographic methods, were possible and envisaged as they are often more discriminative and easier or faster to perform. Microbiological assays, on the other hand, measure the total (in vitro) activity of antibiotics against a reference microorganism, integrating all moieties that contribute to this effect. While the transition from microbiological to physicochemical assays has been largely completed for single-component antibiotics, it remains challenging for substances containing several components.

Discussions at meetings of WHO Expert Committees Points to consider when switching from biological to physicochemical assays were discussed at the meetings of the Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations (ECSPP) and the Expert Committee on Biological Standardization (ECBS) in 2007. In 2009, the ECSPP recommended that microbiological assays shall be replaced by, in particular, chromatographic methods, where possible and appropriate. Following this decision, chromatographic assays were elaborated and published as part of the monographs on Capreomycin sulfate and Capreomycin for injection in The International Pharmacopoeia. Following the publication of these monographs, the comparability of analytical results gained with the new chromatographic assay method and with so far used microbiological assays was discussed. At the meetings of the ECSPP and ECBS in 2016 it was agreed that the Secretariat of The International Pharmacopoeia should contact manufacturers to obtain further information about the prevailing composition of capreomycin active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), methods used to determine the content of capreomycin powders for injection and information regarding a correlation between the mass and the microbiological activity of the antibiotic.

Capreomycin for injection in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines In the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) (19th Edition) the strength of capreomycin powder for injection is given as “1 g (as sulfate) in vial”. Considering that in the past pharmacopoeias described microbiological methods for the assay of capreomyin products, the information regarding the strength given in the EML should be interpreted as “capreomycin sulfate equivalent to the activity of 1 g capreomycin in vial”. This interpretation would correspond to the way the comparator product, Capastat®, is labelled, namely “Each vial contains the equivalent of 1 g capreomycin activity”.

215 Consultation documents WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

The monographs on Capreomycin sulfate and Capreomycin for injection in The International Pharmacopoeia Capreomycin is a mixture of four structurally related compounds, Capreomycin IA, IB, IIA and IIB with different specific activities. In the monograph on Capreomycin sulfate the active substance is defined on a mass basis: “Capreomycin sulfate is a mixture of the sulfates of antimicrobial polypeptides produced by the growth of Streptomyces capreolus. It contains not less than 70.0% of capreomycin, calculated with reference to the dried substance and taking into account the sum of capreomycin IA, IB, IIA and IIB. The contents of capreomycin IA and IB is not less than 90.0% of the sum of capreomycin IA, IB, IIA and IIB”. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (CP), the Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) have similar requirements regarding the composition of Capreomycin sulfate. However, in these pharmacopoeias the capreomycin content of APIs and finished products is determined using microbiological methods. In 1969, the specific activities of the isolated four main components were determined. The results of these investigations showed that there is a significant difference between the activities of components IA versus IB and I versus II. As the applied techniques to separate and purify substances have become more specific and efficient in past decades, WHO was advised to re-establish the data should succeeding decisions be based on them. While the monograph on Capreomycin currently limits the capreomycin II contents to maximum 10%, the ratio between capreomycin IA and IB is not defined at present. Further information and guidance is sought regarding the relevance of such an additional limit with a view to ensure that products even with extreme differences in the IA and IB concentrations consistently comply or not comply with the different compendial assays.

Capreomycin sulfate reference substances Subsequent to the publication of the capreomycin monographs, a reference substance, capreomycin sulfate ICRS Batch 1, was established for use according to the prescribed compendial tests. Following a comprehensive analytical characterization of the candidate material, a defined capreomycin base concentration per vial, expressed in mass units, was assigned to the standard to render it suitable, i.e. for assay by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The ECSPP released capreomycin sulfate ICRS Batch 1 at its meeting in 2016 with the following note in the leaflet: “The International Chemical Reference Substance for capreomycin sulfate ICRS is intended to be used as described in The International Pharmacopoeia for assay by HPLC according to the monographs for capreomycin sulfate and capreomycin for injection. The substance is suitable to serve as a reference for the quantitative determination of the content of capreomycins IA, IB, IIA and IIB from the declared content in capreomycin sulfate RS. A correlation between the concentration of IA, IB, IIA and IIB and the activity of the substance, determined with microbiological methods, has not been established.”

216 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

A Capreomycin WHO International Standard for Antibiotics (ISA) to define the activity of capreomycin in microbiological assays was established in 19681 and discontinued in 2000 following an enquiry to determine whether there was a continued necessity for the standard.2 The reference substance served as a primary reference standard for pharmacopoeias to calibrate their national, secondary reference standards, subsequently used in routine laboratory tests and assays.

Landscape analysis of capreomycin APIs and products on the global market The aim of this survey is to provide an overview on the composition of capreomycin APIs and products on the market. Together with information on the activity and toxicity of the different components, the results of the chromatographic analysis will help to evaluate the comparability of capreomycin products. Based on the results of this survey, additional limits regarding the chemical composition of capreomycin, in particular a limit to specify the ratio IA to IB, shall be discussed and implemented if need be. To initiate the survey, WHO shall invite manufactures to share the following information and samples:

Manufacturers of capreomycin or capreomycin sulfate: 1. A sample of capreomycin or capreomycin sulfate (about 10 g), representative for the authorized manufacturing process, together with the certificate of analysis and the material safety data sheet. 2. A compilation of the specifications of the product together with a description of the methods used to determine them. For the methods to determine the content/strength and composition of the product the reference substance(s) used, the name(s) of the authorizing organization(s) and the declared strength(s) or assigned content(s) shall be indicated. In case chromatographic methods are used sample chromatograms shall also be submitted. 3. The outcome of investigations to correlate the total microbiological activity of capreomycin/capreomycin sulfate (or the activity of the components) with the mass concentration of the components (including information about the design of the performed study, a description of the methods used and details of the results obtained) (if available). 4. Information about the toxicity of capreomycin with respect to its composition (if available).

Manufacturers of capreomycin powder for injection: 1. A sample of each authorized capreomycin powder for injection (10 vials each of 1 g for each product belonging to the same batch, together with the corresponding certificate(s) of analysis) and a copy of the packaging indicating the labelled strength of the products. 2. A compilation of the specifications of the product together with a description of the methods used to determine them. For the methods to determine the content/strength and composition of the product the reference substance(s) used, the name(s) of the authorizing 1 WHO Technical Report Series, No. 384. 2 WHO Technical Report Series, No. 924.

217 Consultation documents WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

organization(s) and the declared strength(s) or assigned content(s) shall be indicated. In case chromatographic methods are used sample chromatograms shall also be submitted. 3. The outcome of investigations to correlate the total microbiological activity of capreomycin/capreomycin sulfate (or the activity of the components) with the mass concentration of the components (including information about the design of the performed study, a description of the methods used and details of the results obtained) (if available). 4. Information about the toxicity of capreomycin with respect to its composition (if available).

Comparison of national capreomycin reference substances Not only assay methods based on different principles, also the lack of an international primary reference substance defining the activity of capreomycin may have affected the comparability of capreomycin dose regimes over time. To obtain relevant evidence, WHO shall organize laboratory investigations to determine: 1. the antimicrobiological activity of a common sample, capreomycin sulfate International Chemical Reference Substances (ICRS)3, according to the current provisions in the CP, IP and USP; and 2. the percentage mass concentrations of capreomycin IA, IB, IIA and IIB of the national reference substances prescribed by CP, IP and USP and analysed using the HPLC method described in the monograph on Capreomycin sulfate of The International Pharmacopoeia. Based on the results of this survey, WHO shall evaluate jointly with i.a. the concerned pharmacopoeias the need to re-establish capreomycin ISA. The results will also help to further elucidate how the composition of capreomycin determines its activity.

Bridging study to link the mass with the activity of capreomycin Considering the results of the landscape analysis of capreomycin APIs and products and on the comparison of national capreomycin reference substances, pharmacopoeias (in particular the CP, IP, USP and The International Pharmacopoeia) may decide to finish the transition from microbiological to a physicochemical assay for the capreomycin content by performing a bridging study to link the mass with the activity of the substance. Such a linkage would allow manufacturers to retain the current labelling of their products (i.e. the strength labelled in activity) and to seek regulatory approval to use a chromatographic method for the testing of their products. A USP guidance document4 provides points to consider for the development of chromatographic or other physicochemical methods to replace microbiological assays. As a

3 Capreomycin sulfate ICRS is proposed as a common test sample because the chemical composition of the substance was thoroughly investigated during its establishment as a reference substances for physico-chemical tests according to The International Pharmacopoeia. The available analytical data, together with the results of the antimicrobiological determination may help to understand and to establish the correlation between the composition of capreomycin and its activity. Capreomycin ICRS is also needed as a reference substances for the determination under (2). 4 USP 39, chapter 1223, Validation of alternative methods to antibiotic microbial assays.

218 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

pivotal step, the process would involve the separation and purification of each antimicrobial moiety, process impurity and degradation product of the antibiotic and a subsequent determination of their individual, relative microbial activity. To determine these relative microbial activities an international (primary) reference substance, capreomycin ISA, which defines the activity of capreomycin sulfate, would have to be re-established. The alternative chromatographic method should be composition- and stability-indicating and would have to consider the specific absorptivity of the different components (in case the absorptivities differ significantly). The already published HPLC method in The International Pharmacopoeia is proposed to be used for this purpose.

International harmonization of pharmacopoeial requirements for capreomycin The joint bridging study and its results shall also foster harmonization of pharmacopoeial requirements for capreomycin API and products. With the knowledge of the correlation between the composition and activity of capreomycin other pharmacopoeias, in particular CP, IP and USP, may consider to also switch to the alternative chromatographic method published in The International Pharmacopoeia. In addition, the gained insights may facilitate future transitions from microbiological to physicochemical assays in monographs of other multicomponent antiobiotics. ***

1.15.1 Capillary electrophoresis

This is a draft proposed text for The International Pharmacopoeia (Working document QAS/16.698, May 2017). This text is based on the internationally harmonized texts developed by the Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group (PDG). It has been developed in line with the style and requirements used in The International Pharmacopoeia. The permission to reproduce the text will be requested when the text is adopted by the WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations. The working document with line numbers is available for comment at www.who. int/medicines/areas/quality_safety/quality_assurance/projects.

This text is based on the internationally harmonized texts developed by the Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group (PDG). It has been developed in line with the style and requirements used in The International Pharmacopoeia. General principles Capillary electrophoresis is a physical method of analysis based on the migration, inside a capillary, of charged analytes dissolved in an electrolyte solution under the influence of a direct-current electric field. The migration velocity of the analyte under an electric field of intensity E is determined by the electrophoretic mobility of the analyte and the electroosmotic mobility of the buffer inside the capillary. The electrophoretic mobility of a solute (µep) depends on the characteristics of the solute (electrical charge, molecular size and shape) and the characteristics of the buffer in which the migration takes place (type and ionic strength of the electrolyte, pH, viscosity and additives). The electrophoretic velocity (νep) of a solute, assuming a spherical shape, is as follows: in which q is the effective charge of the solute; η is the viscosity of the electrolyte solution; r is the Stoke’s radius of the solute; V is the applied voltage; and L is the total length of the capillary. When an electric field is applied through the capillary filled with buffer, a flow of solvent, called electroosmotic flow, is generated inside the capillary. Its velocity depends on the electroosmotic mobility (µeo), which in turn depends on the charge density on the capillary internal wall and the buffer characteristics. The electroosmotic velocity eo(ν ) is given by the equation: in which ε is the dielectric constant of the buffer; ζ is the zeta potential of the capillary surface; and the other terms are as defined above.

224 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

The velocity of the solute (ν) is given by the equation:

ν = vep+ νeo The electrophoretic mobility of the analyte and the electroosmotic mobility may act in the same direction or in opposite directions, depending on the charge of the solute. In normal capillary electrophoresis, anions will migrate in the opposite direction to the electroosmotic flow and their velocities will be smaller than the electroosmotic velocity. Cations will migrate in the same direction as the electroosmotic flow and their velocities will be greater than the electroosmotic velocity. Under conditions in which there is a fast electroosmotic velocity with respect to the electrophoretic velocity of the solutes, both cations and anions can be separated in the same run. The time (t) taken by the solute to migrate the distance (l) from the injection end of the capillary to the detection point (capillary effective length) is as follows:

in which the other terms are as defined above. In general, uncoated fused-silica capillaries above pH 3 have negative charge due to ionized silanol groups in the inner wall. Consequently, the electroosmotic flow is from anode to cathode. The electroosmotic flow must remain constant from run to run to obtain good reproducibility in the migration velocity of the solutes. For some applications, it might be necessary to reduce or suppress the electroosmotic flow by modifying the inner wall of the capillary or by changing the concentration, composition and/or the pH of the buffer solution. After the introduction of the sample into the capillary each analyte ion of the sample migrates within the background electrolyte as an independent zone according to its electrophoretic mobility. Zone dispersion, that is the spreading of each solute band, results from different phenomena. Under ideal conditions, the sole contribution to the solute-zone broadening is molecular diffusion of the solute along the capillary (longitudinal diffusion). In this ideal case, the efficiency of the zone, expressed as the number of theoretical plates (N), is given by: in which D is the molecular diffusion coefficient of the solute in the buffer. In practice, other phenomena, such as heat dissipation, sample adsorption onto the capillary wall, mismatched conductivity between sample and buffer, length of the injection plug, detector cell size and unlevelled buffer reservoirs, can also significantly contribute to band dispersion. Separation between two bands (expressed by the resolution RS) can be obtained by modification of the electrophoretic mobility of the analytes, by the electroosmotic mobility induced in the capillary and by increasing the efficiency for the band of each analyte as follows:

in which µepa and µepb are the electrophoretic mobilities of the two analytes to be separated; is the average electrophoretic mobility of the two analytes calculated as:

Apparatus An apparatus for capillary electrophoresis is composed of a high voltage controllable direct current power supply; two buffer reservoirs held at the same level and containing specified anodic and cathodic solutions; two electrode assemblies (cathode and anode) immersed in the buffer reservoirs and connected to the power supply; a separation capillary usually made of fused-silica, sometimes with an optical viewing window aligned with the detector, depending on the detector type, with the ends of the capillary placed in the buffer reservoirs and the capillary being filled with a solution specified in a given monograph; a suitable injection system; a detector capable of monitoring the amount of substance of interest passing through a segment of the separation capillary at a given time, generally based on absorption spectrophotometry (ultraviolet (UV) and visible), fluorimetry, conductimetric, amperometric, or mass spectrometric detection, depending on the specific applications, or even indirect detection to detect non-UV-absorbing and nonfluorescent compounds; a thermostatic system capable of maintaining a constant temperature inside the capillary, recommended to obtain good separation reproducibility; a recorder; and a suitable integrator or a computer. The definition of the injection process and its automation are critical for precise quantitative analysis. Modes of injection include gravity, pressure or vacuum, or electrokinetic injection. The amount of each sample component introduced electrokinetically depends on its electrophoretic mobility, leading to possible discrimination using this injection mode. It is expected that the capillary, the buffer solutions, the preconditioning method, the sample solution, and the migration conditions will be specified in the individual monograph. The electrolytic solution employed is filtered to remove particles and degassed to avoid bubble formation that could interfere with the detection system or interrupt the electrical contact in the capillary during the separation run. To achieve reproducible migration time of the solutes, it would be necessary to develop, for each analytical method, a rigorous rinsing routine.

Capillary zone electrophoresis Principle In capillary zone electrophoresis, analytes are separated in a capillary containing only buffer without any anticonvective medium. In this technique, separation takes place because the different components of the sample migrate as discrete bands with different velocities. The velocity of each band depends on the electrophoretic mobility of the solute and the electroosmotic flow on the capillary (see “General principles”). Coated capillaries can be used to increase the separation capacity of those substances adsorbing on fused-silica surfaces. This mode of capillary electrophoresis is appropriate for the analysis of small (molecular weight < 2000) and large (2000 < MW < 100,000) molecules. Due to the high efficiency achieved in capillary zone electrophoresis, separation of molecules having only minute differences in their charge-to-mass ratio can be effected. This separation mode also allows the separation of chiral compounds by addition of chiral selectors to the separation buffer.

226 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

Optimization Optimization of the separation is a complex process where several separation parameters can play a major role. The main factors to be considered in the development of the separations are instrumental and electrolytic solution parameters.

Instrumental parameters Voltage. A Joule heating plot is useful in optimizing the applied voltage and column temperature. The separation time is inversely proportional to applied voltage. However, an increase in the voltage used can cause excessive heat production, giving rise to temperature and, as a result, viscosity gradients in the buffer inside the capillary, which causes band broadening and decreases resolution. Polarity. Electrode polarity can be normal (anode at the inlet and cathode at the outlet) and the electroosmotic flow will move toward the cathode. If the electrode polarity is reversed the electroosmotic flow is away from the outlet and only charged analytes with electroosmotic mobilities greater than the electroosmotic flow will pass to the outlet. Temperature. The main effect of temperature is observed on buffer viscosity and electrical conductivity, thus affecting migration velocity. In some cases, an increase in capillary temperature can cause a conformational change of some proteins, modifying their migration time and the efficiency of the separation. Capillary. The length and internal diameter of the capillary affects the analysis time, the efficiency of separations and the load capacity. Increasing both effective length and total length can decrease the electric fields, at a constant voltage, which increases migration time. For a given buffer and electric field, heat dissipation (thus, sample band broadening) depends on the internal diameter of the capillary. The latter also affects the detection limit, depending on the sample volume injected into the capillary and the detection system used. The adsorption of sample components on the capillary wall limits efficiency; therefore, methods to avoid these interactions should be considered in the development of a separation method. In the specific case of proteins, several strategies have been devised to avoid adsorption on the capillary wall. Some of these strategies (use of extreme pH and adsorption of positively charged buffer additives) only require modification of the buffer composition to prevent protein adsorption. Other strategies include the coating of the internal wall of the capillary with a polymer covalently bonded to the silica that prevents interaction between the proteins and the negatively charged silica surface. For this purpose, ready-to-use capillaries with coatings consisting of neutral-hydrophilic, cationic and anionic polymers are commercially available.

Electrolytic solution parameters Buffer type and concentrations.Suitable buffers for capillary electrophoresis have an appropriate buffer capacity in the pH range of choice and low mobility to minimize current generation. To minimize band distortion, it is important to match buffer-ion mobility to solute mobility whenever possible. The type of sample solvent used is important to achieve on-column sample focusing, which increases separation efficiency and improves detection. Also, an increase in buffer concentration at a given pH decreases electroosmotic flow and solute velocity.

227 Consultation documents WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

Buffer pH.The pH of the buffer can affect separation by modifying the charge of the analyte or additives and by changing the electroosmotic flow. For protein and peptide separation, a change in the pH of the buffer from above the isoelectric point (pI) to below the pI changes the net charge of the solute from negative to positive. An increase in the buffer pH generally increases the electroosmotic flow. Organic solvents. Organic modifiers, such as methanol, acetonitrile and others may be added to the aqueous buffer to increase the solubility of the solute or other additives and/or to affect the ionization degree of the sample components. The addition of these organic modifiers to the buffer generally causes a decrease in the electroosmotic flow. Additives for chiral separations. To separate optical isomers, a chiral selector is added to the separation buffer. The most commonly used chiral selectors are cyclodextrins, although in some cases crown ethers, certain polysaccharides or even proteins can be used. Because chiral recognition is governed by the different interactions between the chiral selector and each of the enantiomers the resolution achieved for the chiral compounds depends largely on the type of chiral selector used. While developing a given separation it may be useful to test cyclodextrins having a different cavity size (α-, β-, or γ-cyclodextrin) or modified cyclodextrins with neutral (methyl, ethyl, hydroxyalkyl, etc.) or ionizable (aminomethyl, carboxymethyl, sulfobutylether, etc.) moities. When using modified cyclodextrins, batch-to-batch variations in the degree of substitution of the cyclodextrins must be taken into account because it will influence the selectivity. The resolution of chiral separations is also controlled by the concentration of the chiral selector, the composition and pH of the buffer and the separation temperature. Organic additives, such as methanol or urea, can also affect the resolution of separation.

Capillary gel electrophoresis In capillary gel electrophoresis, separation takes place inside a capillary filled with a gel that acts as a molecular sieve. Molecules with similar charge-to-mass ratios are separated according to molecular size because smaller molecules move more freely through the network of the gel and therefore migrate faster than larger molecules. Different biological macromolecules (for example, proteins and DNA fragments), which often have similar charge-to-mass ratios, can thus be separated according to their molecular mass by capillary gel electrophoresis. Characteristics of gels Two types of gels are used in capillary electrophoresis: permanently coated gels and dynamically coated gels. Permanently coated gels are prepared inside the capillary by polymerization of monomers. One example of such a gel is a cross-linked polyacrylamide. This type of gel is usually bonded to the fused-silica wall and cannot be removed without destroying the capillary. For protein analysis under reducing conditions the separation buffer usually contains sodium dodecyl sulfate and the sample is denatured by heating in a mixture of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol before injection. When non- reducing conditions are used (for example, analysis of an intact antibody), 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol are not used. Optimization of separation in a cross-linked gel is obtained by modifying the separation buffer (see “Capillary zone electrophoresis”) and by controlling the gel porosity during the gel preparation. For cross-linked polyacrylamide gels the porosity can

228 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

be modified by changing the concentration of acrylamide and/or the ratio of the cross-linker. As a rule, a decrease in the porosity of the gel leads to a decrease in the mobility of the solutes. Due to the rigidity of this type of gel, only electrokinetic injection can be used. Dynamically coated gels are hydrophilic polymers (i.e. linear polyacrylamide, cellulose derivatives, dextran, etc.) which can be dissolved in aqueous separation buffers, giving rise to a separation medium that also acts as a molecular sieve. These polymeric separation media are easier to prepare than cross-linked polymers. They can be prepared in a vial and filled by pressure in a wall-coated capillary with no electroosmotic flow. Replacing the gel before every injection generally improves the separation reproducibility. The porosity of the dynamically coated gels can be increased by using polymers of higher molecular mass (at a given polymer concentration) or by decreasing the polymer concentration (for a given polymer molecular mass). A decrease in gel porosity leads to a decrease in the mobility of the solute for the same buffer. Both hydrodynamic and electrokinetic injection techniques can be used because the dissolution of these polymers in the buffer gives low viscosity solutions.

Capillary isoelectric focusing Principle In isoelectric focusing the molecules migrate under the influence of the electric field, so long as they are charged, in a pH gradient generated by ampholytes having pI values in a wide range (polyaminocarboxylic acids), dissolved in the separation buffer. The three basic steps in capillary isoelectric focusing are loading, focusing and mobilization. Loading step. Two methods may be employed. Loading in one step: The sample is mixed with ampholytes and introduced into the capillary by pressure or vacuum. Sequential loading: A leading buffer, then the ampholytes, then the sample mixed with ampholytes, again ampholytes alone, and finally the terminating buffer are introduced into the capillary. The volume of the sample must be small enough so as not to modify the pH gradient. Focusing step. When the voltage is applied, ampholytes migrate toward the cathode or the anode according to their net charge, creating the pH gradient from anode (lower pH) to cathode (higher pH). During this step the components to be separated migrate until they reach a pH corresponding to their isoelectric point, and the current drops to very low values. Mobilization step. If mobilization is required for detection, use one of the following three methods. Method 1: Mobilization is accomplished during the focusing step, under the influence of the electroosmotic flow when this flow is small enough to allow the focusing of the components. Method 2: Mobilization is accomplished by application of positive pressure after the focusing step. Method 3: Mobilization is achieved after the focusing step by adding salts to the cathode reservoir or the anode reservoir, depending on the direction chosen for mobilization, in order to alter the pH in the capillary when the voltage is applied.

229 Consultation documents WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

As the pH is changed the proteins and ampholytes are mobilized in the direction of the reservoir, which contains added salts and pass the detector. The separation achieved is expressed as ΔpI and depends on the pH gradient (dpH/dx), the number of ampholytes having different pI values, the molecular diffusion coefficient (D), the intensity of the electric field (E) and the variation of the electrophoretic mobility of the analyte with the pH (−dµ/dpH):

Optimization The major parameters that need to be considered in the development of separations are the following: Voltage. The use of high fields from 300 V/cm to 1000 V/cm during the focusing step. Capillary. The electroosmotic flow must be reduced or suppressed depending on the mobilization strategy selected (see above). Coated capillaries tend to reduce the electroosmotic flow. Solutions. The anode buffer reservoir is filled with a solution of a lower pH than the pI of the most acidic ampholyte, and the cathode reservoir is filled with a solution with a higher pH than the pI of the most basic ampholyte. Phosphoric acid for the anode and sodium hydroxide for the cathode are frequently used. Addition of a polymer, like methylcellulose, in the ampholyte solution tends to suppress convective forces (if any) and electroosmotic flow by increasing the viscosity. Commercial ampholytes covering many pH ranges are available and may also be mixed to obtain an expanded pH range. Broad pH ranges are used to estimate the pI, whereas narrower ranges are employed to improve accuracy. Calibration can be made by correlating migration time with the pI of a series of standard protein markers. During the focusing step, precipitation of proteins at their pI can be prevented, if necessary, using buffer additives such as glycerol, surfactants, urea, or zwitterionic buffers. However, depending on the concentration, urea can denature proteins.

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography Principle Separation takes place in an electrolytic solution that contains a surfactant at a concentration above the critical micellar concentration (CMC). The solute molecules are distributed between the aqueous buffer and the pseudostationary phase composed by the micelles according to the solute’s partition coefficient. The technique can be considered as a hybrid of electrophoresis and chromatography. It is a technique that can be used for the separation of both neutral and charged solutes maintaining the efficiency, speed and instrumental suitability of capillary electrophoresis. One of the most widely used surfactants in micellar electrokinetic chrom atography (MEKC) is the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, although other surfactants, such as cationic surfactant cetyl trimethyl ammonium salts, have also been used.

230 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

The separation mechanism is as follows. At neutral and alkaline pH, a strong electroosmotic flow is generated and moves the separation buffer ions in the direction of the cathode. If sodium dodecyl sulfate is used as surfactant the electrophoretic migration of the anionic micelle is in the opposite direction, towards the anode. As a result, the overall micelle migration velocity is slowed compared to the bulk flow of the electrolytic solution. In the case of neutral solutes, because the analyte can partition between the micelle and the aqueous buffer and has no electrophoretic mobility, the analyte migration velocity will depend only on the partition coefficient between the micelle and the aqueous buffer. In the electropherogram the peaks corresponding to each uncharged solute are always between that of the electroosmotic flow marker and that of the micelle; and the time elapsed between these two peaks is called the separation window. For electrically charged solutes the migration velocity depends on both the partition coefficient of the solute between the micelle and the aqueous buffer and on the electrophoretic mobility of the solute in the absence of micelles. Since the mechanism in MEKC of neutral and weakly ionized solutes is essentially chromatographic, migration of the solute and resolution can be rationalized in terms of the retention factor of the solute (k΄), also referred to as mass distribution ratio (Dm), which is the ratio between the number of moles of solute in the micelle to those in the mobile phase. For a neutral compound, k΄ is given as follows:

in which tr is the migration time of the solute; t0 is the analysis time of the unretained solute obtained by injecting an electroosmotic flow marker that does not enter the micelle (e.g. methanol); tmc is the micelle migration time measured by injecting a micelle marker, such as Sudan III, which migrates continuously associated in the micelle; K is the partition coefficient of the solute; VS is the volume of the micellar phase; and VM is the volume of the mobile phase.

The resolution between two closely-migrating solutes (RS) is as follows:

in which N is the number of theoretical plates for one of the solutes; α is the selectivity; and ka΄ and kb΄ are retention factors for both solutes, respectively (kb΄ > ka΄).

Similar, but not identical, equations give k΄ and RS values for electrically charged solutes. Optimization The main parameters to be considered in the development of separations by MEKC are instrumental and electrolytic solution parameters. Instrumental parameters Voltage. Separation time is inversely proportional to applied voltage. However, an increase in voltage can cause excessive heat production that gives rise to temperature gradients and viscosity gradients of the buffer in the cross section of the capillary. This effect can be significant with high conductivity buffers, such as those containing micelles. Poor heat dissipation causes band broadening and decreases resolution.

231 Consultation documents WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

Temperature. Variations in capillary temperature affect the partition coefficient of the solute between the buffer and the micelles, the critical micellar concentration and the viscosity of the buffer. These parameters contribute to the migration time of the solutes. The use of a good cooling system improves the reproducibility of the migration time for the solutes. Capillary. As in capillary zone electrophoresis, length and internal diameter of the capillary contribute to analysis time and efficiency of separations. Increasing both effective length and total length can decrease the electrical fields, working at constant voltage, and will increase migration time and improve the separation efficiency. The internal diameter controls heat dissipation, for a given buffer and electrical field, and consequently broadening of the sample band.

Electrolytic solution parameters Surfactant type and concentration. The type of surfactant, as the stationary phase in chromatography, affects the resolution because it modifies separation selectively. The log k΄ of a neutral compound increases linearly with the concentration of surfactant in the mobile phase. When k΄ approaches the value of

resolution in MEKC reaches a maximum. Modifying the concentration of surfactant in the mobile phase changes the resolution. Buffer pH.pH does not modify the partition coefficient of non-ionized solutes, but it can modify the electroosmotic flow in uncoated capillaries. A decrease in the buffer pH decreases the electroosmotic flow and, therefore, increases the resolution of the neutral solutes in MEKC, resulting in a longer analysis time. Organic solvents. To improve MEKC separation of hydrophobic compounds, organic modifiers (methanol, propanol, acetonitrile, etc.) can be added to the electrolytic solution. The addition of these modifiers generally decreases migration time and selectivity of the separation. The addition of organic modifiers affects critical micellar concentration; thus, a given surfactant concentration can be used only with a certain percentage of organic modifier before the micellization is inhibited or adversely affected, resulting in the absence of micelles and, therefore, the absence of the partition. The dissociation of micelles in the presence of a high content of organic solvent does not always mean that the separation will no longer be possible, because in some cases, the hydrophobic interaction between the ionic surfactant monomer and the neutral solutes forms solvophobic complexes that can be separated electrophoretically. Additives for chiral separations. For the separation of enantiomers using MEKC a chiral selector is included in the micellar system, either covalently bound to the surfactant or added to the micellar separation electrolyte. Micelles that have a moiety with chiral discrimination properties include salts, N-dodecanoyl-l-amino acids, bile salts, etc. Chiral resolution can also be achieved using chiral discriminators, such as cyclodextrins, added to the electrolytic solutions that contain micellized achiral surfactants.

232 WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Consultation documents

Other additives. Selectivity can be modified by adding chemicals to the buffer. Addition of several types of cyclodextrins to the buffer is also used to reduce the interaction of hydrophobic solutes with the micelle, increasing the selectivity for this type of compound. The addition of substances able to modify solute-micelle interactions by adsorption on the latter has been used to improve the selectivity of the separations in MEKC. These additives may consist of a second surfactant (ionic or nonionic), which gives rise to mixed micelles or metallic cations that dissolve in the micelle and form coordination complexes with the solutes.

Quantification Peak areas must be divided by the corresponding migration time to give the corrected area in order to compensate for the shift in migration time from run to run, thus reducing the variation of the response. Dividing the peak areas by migration time will also compensate for the different responses of sample constituents with different migration times. Where an internal standard is used, check that no peak of the substance to be examined is masked by that of the internal standard. Calculations From the values obtained, calculate the content of a component or components being determined. When indicated, the percentage of one (or more) components of the sample to be examined is calculated by determining the corrected area(s) of the peak(s) as a percentage of the total of the corrected areas of all the peaks, excluding those due to solvents or any added reagents (normalization procedure). The use of an automatic integration system (integrator or data acquisition and processing system) is recommended.

System suitability In order to check the behaviour of the capillary electrophoresis system, system suitability parameters are used. The choice of these parameters depends on the mode of capillary electrophoresis used. The parameters include the following: retention factor k΄ (used only for micellar electrokinetic chromatography), apparent number of theoretical plates (N), the symmetry factor (AS), and the resolution (RS). In previous sections the theoretical expressions for N and RS have been described but more practical equations that allow for the determination of these suitability parameters using the electropherograms are given below. Apparent number of theoretical plates The apparent number of N may be calculated from the formula: 2 N = 5.54 (tR/wh) in which tR is the migration time or distance along the baseline between the point of injection and the perpendicular dropped from the maximum of the peak corresponding to the component; and wh is the peak width at half-height.

233 Consultation documents WHO Drug Information Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

Resolution

The RS between peaks of similar heights of two components may be calculated from the formula:

RS = 1.18 (tR2 − tR1)/(wh1 + wh2) tR2 > tR1 in which tR1 and tR2 are the migration times or distances along the baseline between the point of injection and the perpendiculars dropped from the maxima of two adjacent peaks; and wh1 and wh2 are the peak widths at half-height.

When appropriate the RS may also be calculated by measuring the height of the valley (Hv) between two partly resolved peaks in a standard preparation, the height of the smaller peak

(Hp), and calculating the peak-to-valley ratio: p/v = Hp/Hv. Symmetry factor

The symmetry factor of SA may be calculated using the formula:

As = w0.05/2d in which w0.05 is the width of the peak at one-twentieth of the peak height; and d is the distance between the perpendicular dropped from the peak maximum and the leading edge of the peak at one-twentieth of the peak height. Other suitability parameters include tests for area repeatability (standard deviation of areas or of area/migration time) and tests for migration time repeatability (standard deviation of migration time). Migration time repeatability provides a test for the suitability of the capillary washing procedures. An alternative practice to avoid the lack of repeatability of the migration time is to use a migration time relative to an internal standard. Signal-to-noise ratio A test for the verification of the signal-to-noise ratio for a standard preparation or the determination of the limit of quantification may also be useful for the determination of related substances. The detection limit and quantification limit correspond to a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 and 10, respectively. The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is calculated as follows: S/N = 2H/h in which H is the height of the peak corresponding to the component concerned in the electropherogram obtained with the specified reference solution, measured from the maximum of the peak to the extrapolated baseline of the signal observed over a distance equal to twenty times the width at half-height; and h is the range of the background in an electropherogram obtained after injection of a blank, observed over a distance equal to twenty times the width at the half-height of the peak in the electropherogram obtained with the prescribed reference solution and, if possible, situated equally around the place where this peak would be found. ***

International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances (INN)

Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with article 3 of the Procedure for the Selection of Recommended International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances, the names given in the list on the following pages are under consideration by the World Health Organization as Proposed International Nonproprietary Names. The inclusion of a name in the lists of Proposed International Nonproprietary Names does not imply any recommendation of the use of the substance in medicine or pharmacy.

Lists of Proposed (1–113) and Recommended (1–74) International Nonproprietary Names can be found in Cumulative List No. 16, 2015 (available in CD-ROM only). The statements indicating action and use are based largely on information supplied by the manufacturer. This information is merely meant to provide an indication of the potential use of new substances at the time they are accorded Proposed International Nonproprietary Names. WHO is not in a position either to uphold these statements or to comment on the efficacy of the action claimed. Because of their provisional nature, these descriptors will neither be revised nor included in the Cumulative Lists of INNs.

Dénominations communes internationales des Substances pharmaceutiques (DCI) Il est notifié que, conformément aux dispositions de l'article 3 de la Procédure à suivre en vue du choix de Dénominations communes internationales recommandées pour les Substances pharmaceutiques les dénominations ci-dessous sont mises à l'étude par l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé en tant que dénominations communes internationales proposées. L'inclusion d'une dénomination dans les listes de DCI proposées n'implique aucune recommandation en vue de l'utilisation de la substance correspondante en médecine ou en pharmacie.

On trouvera d'autres listes de Dénominations communes internationales proposées (1–113) et recommandées (1–74) dans la Liste récapitulative No. 16, 2015 (disponible sur CD-ROM seulement). Les mentions indiquant les propriétés et les indications des substances sont fondées sur les renseignements communiqués par le fabricant. Elles ne visent qu'à donner une idée de l'utilisation potentielle des nouvelles substances au moment où elles sont l'objet de propositions de DCI. L'OMS n'est pas en mesure de confirmer ces déclarations ni de faire de commentaires sur l'efficacité du mode d'action ainsi décrit. En raison de leur caractère provisoire, ces informations ne figureront pas dans les listes récapitulatives de DCI.

Names for Radicals and Groups Some substances for which a proposed international nonproprietary name has been established may be used in the form of salts or esters. The radicals or groups involved may be of complex composition and it is then inconvenient to refer to them in a systematic chemical nomenclature. Consequently, shorter nonproprietary names for some radicals and groups have been devised or selected, and they are suggested for use with the proposed international nonproprietary names.

Dénominations applicables aux radicaux et groupes Certaines substances pour lesquelles une dénomination commune internationale proposée a été établie sont parfois utilisées sous forme de sels ou d'esters. Les radicaux ou groupes correspondants sont alors quelques fois si complexes qu'il est malcommode de les désigner conformément à la nomenclature chimique systématique. Des dénominations communes abrégées ont donc été formées ou choisies pour certains d'entre eux et il est suggéré de les employer avec les dénominations communes internationales proposées.

Denominaciones para Radicales y Grupos Ciertas sustancias para las cuales hay establecidas una denominación común internacional pueden usarse en forma de sales o de ésteres. Los radicales o grupos correspondientes pueden llegar a tener una composición tan compleja que resulte incómodo referirse a ellos mediante la nomenclatura química sistemática. Las siguientes denominaciones comunes abreviadas han sido ideadas o elegidas para algunos de estos radicales y grupos y se sugiere que se empleen con las denominaciones comunes internacionales propuestas

tiglas tiglate (2S)-2-methylbutanoate (ester), (2E)-2-methylbut-2-enoate (ester) tiglate (2S)-2-méthylbutanoate (ester), (2E)-2-méthylbut-2-énoate (ester) tiglato (2S)-2-metilbutanoato (éster), (2E)-2-metilbut-2-enoato (éster)

ANNEX 1

PROCEDURE FOR THE SELECTION OF RECOMMENDED INTERNATIONAL NONPROPRIETARY NAMES FOR PHARMACEUTICAL SUBSTANCES1

The following procedure shall be followed by the World Health Organization (hereinafter also referred to as “WHO”) in the selection of recommended international nonproprietary names for pharmaceutical substances, in accordance with resolution WHA3.11 of the World Health Assembly, and in the substitution of such names.

Article 1 - Proposals for recommended international nonproprietary names and proposals for substitution of such names shall be submitted to WHO on the form provided therefore. The consideration of such proposals shall be subject to the payment of an administrative fee designed only to cover the corresponding costs of the Secretariat of WHO (“the Secretariat”). The amount of this fee shall be determined by the Secretariat and may, from time to time, be adjusted.

Article 2 - Such proposals shall be submitted by the Secretariat to the members of the Expert Advisory Panel on the International Pharmacopoeia and Pharmaceutical Preparations designated for this purpose, such designated members hereinafter referred to as “the INN Expert Group”, for consideration in accordance with the “General principles for guidance in devising International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances”, annexed to this procedure2. The name used by the person discovering or first developing and marketing a pharmaceutical substance shall be accepted, unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary.

Article 3 - Subsequent to the examination provided for in article 2, the Secretariat shall give notice that a proposed international nonproprietary name is being considered. a) Such notice shall be given by publication in WHO Drug Information3 and by letter to Member States and to national and regional pharmacopoeia commissions or other bodies designated by Member States.

i) Notice shall also be sent to the person who submitted the proposal (“the original applicant”) and other persons known to be concerned with a name under consideration. b) Such notice shall:

i) set forth the name under consideration;

ii) identify the person who submitted the proposal for naming the substance, if so requested by such person;

iii) identify the substance for which a name is being considered;

iv) set forth the time within which comments and objections will be received and the person and place to whom they should be directed;

v) state the authority under which WHO is acting and refer to these rules of procedure.

1 See Annex 1 in WHO Technical Report Series, No. 581, 1975. The original text was adopted by the Executive Board in resolution EB15.R7 and amended in resolutions EB43.R9 and EB115.R4.

2 See Annex 2.

3 Before 1987, lists of international nonproprietary names were published in the Chronicle of the World Health Organization.

368 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Proposed INN: List 117

c) In forwarding the notice, the Secretariat shall request that Member States take such steps as are necessary to prevent the acquisition of proprietary rights in the proposed name during the period it is under consideration by WHO.

Article 4 - Comments on the proposed name may be forwarded by any person to WHO within four months of the date of publication, under article 3, of the name in WHO Drug Information.

Article 5 - A formal objection to a proposed name may be filed by any interested person within four months of the date of publication, under article 3, of the name in WHO Drug Information.

Such objection shall:

i) identify the person objecting;

ii) state his or her interest in the name;

iii) set forth the reasons for his or her objection to the name proposed.

Article 6 - Where there is a formal objection under article 5, WHO may either reconsider the proposed name or use its good offices to attempt to obtain withdrawal of the objection. Without prejudice to the consideration by WHO of a substitute name or names, a name shall not be selected by WHO as a recommended international nonproprietary name while there exists a formal objection thereto filed under article 5 which has not been withdrawn.

Article 7 - Where no objection has been filed under article 5, or all objections previously filed have been withdrawn, the Secretariat shall give notice in accordance with subsection (a) of article 3 that the name has been selected by WHO as a recommended international nonproprietary name.

Article 8 - In forwarding a recommended international nonproprietary name to Member States under article 7, the Secretariat shall: a) request that it be recognized as the nonproprietary name for the substance; and b) request that Member States take such steps as are necessary to prevent the acquisition of proprietary rights in the name and to prohibit registration of the name as a trademark or trade name.

Article 9 a) In the extraordinary circumstance that a previously recommended international nonproprietary name gives rise to errors in medication, prescription or distribution, or a demonstrable risk thereof, because of similarity with another name in pharmaceutical and/or prescription practices, and it appears that such errors or potential errors cannot readily be resolved through other interventions than a possible substitution of a previously recommended international nonproprietary name, or in the event that a previously recommended international nonproprietary name differs substantially from the nonproprietary name approved in a significant number of Member States, or in other such extraordinary circumstances that justify a substitution of a recommended international nonproprietary name, proposals to that effect may be filed by any interested person. Such proposals shall be submitted on the form provided therefore and shall:

i) identify the person making the proposal;

ii) state his or her interest in the proposed substitution; and

iii) set forth the reasons for the proposal; and

iv) describe, and provide documentary evidence regarding the other interventions undertaken in an effort to resolve the situation, and the reasons why these other interventions were inadequate.

369 Proposed INN: List 117 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

Such proposals may include a proposal for a new substitute international nonproprietary name, devised in accordance with the General principles, which takes into account the pharmaceutical substance for which the new substitute international nonproprietary name is being proposed.

The Secretariat shall forward a copy of the proposal, for consideration in accordance with the procedure described in subsection (b) below, to the INN Expert Group and the original applicant or its successor (if different from the person bringing the proposal for substitution and provided that the original applicant or its successor is known or can be found through diligent effort, including contacts with industry associations).

In addition, the Secretariat shall request comments on the proposal from:

i) Member States and national and regional pharmacopoeia commissions or other bodies designated by Member States (by including a notice to that effect in the letter referred to in article 3(a), and

ii) any other persons known to be concerned by the proposed substitution.

The request for comments shall:

i) state the recommended international nonproprietary name that is being proposed for substitution (and the proposed substitute name, if provided);

ii) identify the person who submitted the proposal for substitution (if so requested by such person);

iii) identify the substance to which the proposed substitution relates and reasons put forward for substitution;

iv) set forth the time within which comments will be received and the person and place to whom they should be directed; and

v) state the authority under which WHO is acting and refer to these rules of procedure.

Comments on the proposed substitution may be forwarded by any person to WHO within four months of the date of the request for comments. b) After the time period for comments referred to above has elapsed, the Secretariat shall forward any comments received to the INN Expert Group, the original applicant or its successor and the person bringing the proposal for substitution. If, after consideration of the proposal for substitution and the comments received, the INN Expert Group, the person bringing the proposal for substitution and the original applicant or its successor all agree that there is a need to substitute the previously recommended international nonproprietary name, the Secretariat shall submit the proposal for substitution to the INN Expert Group for further processing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the original applicant or its successor shall not be entitled to withhold agreement to a proposal for substitution in the event the original applicant or its successor has no demonstrable continuing interest in the recommended international nonproprietary name proposed for substitution.

In the event that a proposal for substitution shall be submitted to the INN Expert Group for further processing, the INN Expert Group will select a new international nonproprietary name in accordance with the General principles referred to in article 2 and the procedure set forth in articles 3 to 8 inclusive. The notices to be given by the Secretariat under article 3 and article 7, respectively, including to the original applicant or its successor (if not the same as the person proposing the substitution, and provided that the original applicant or its successor is known or can be found through diligent effort, including contacts with industry associations), shall in such event indicate that the new name is a substitute for a previously recommended international nonproprietary name and that Member States may

370 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Proposed INN: List 117

wish to make transitional arrangements in order to accommodate existing products that use the previously recommended international nonproprietary name on their label in accordance with national legislation.

If, after consideration of the proposal for substitution and the comments received in accordance with the procedure described above, the INN Expert Group, the original applicant or its successor and the person bringing the proposal for substitution do not agree that there are compelling reasons for substitution of a previously recommended international nonproprietary name, this name shall be retained (provided always that the original applicant or its successor shall not be entitled to withhold agreement to a proposal for substitution in the event that the original applicant or its successor has no demonstrable continuing interest in the recommended international nonproprietary name proposed to be substituted). In such an event, the Secretariat shall advise the person having proposed the substitution, as well as the original applicant or its successor (if not the same as the person proposing the substitution, and provided that the original applicant or its successor is known or can be found through diligent effort, including contacts with industry associations), Member States, national and regional pharmacopoeia commissions, other bodies designated by Member States, and any other persons known to be concerned by the proposed substitution that, despite a proposal for substitution, it has been decided to retain the previously recommended international nonproprietary name (with a description of the reason(s) why the proposal for substitution was not considered sufficiently compelling).

ANNEX 2

GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR GUIDANCE IN DEVISING INTERNATIONAL NONPROPRIETARY NAMES FOR PHARMACEUTICAL SUBSTANCES1

1. International Nonproprietary Names (INN) should be distinctive in sound and spelling. They should not be inconveniently long and should not be liable to confusion with names in common use.

2. The INN for a substance belonging to a group of pharmacologically related substances should, where appropriate, show this relationship. Names that are likely to convey to a patient an anatomical, physiological, pathological or therapeutic suggestion should be avoided.

These primary principles are to be implemented by using the following secondary principles:

3. In devising the INN of the first substance in a new pharmacological group, consideration should be given to the possibility of devising suitable INN for related substances, belonging to the new group.

4. In devising INN for acids, one-word names are preferred; their salts should be named without modifying the acid name, e.g. “oxacillin” and “oxacillin sodium”, “ibufenac” and “ibufenac sodium”.

5. INN for substances which are used as salts should in general apply to the active base or the active acid. Names for different salts or esters of the same active substance should differ only in respect of the name of the inactive acid or the inactive base. For quaternary ammonium substances, the cation and anion should be named appropriately as separate components of a quaternary substance and not in the amine-salt style.

6. The use of an isolated letter or number should be avoided; hyphenated construction is also undesirable.

7. To facilitate the translation and pronunciation of INN, “f” should be used instead of “ph”, “t” instead of “th”, “e” instead of “ae” or “oe”, and “i” instead of “y”; the use of the letters “h” and “k” should be avoided.

1 In its Twentieth report (WHO Technical Report Series, No. 581, 1975), the WHO Expert committee on Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances reviewed the general principles for devising, and the procedures for selecting, INN in the light of developments in pharmaceutical compounds in recent years. The most significant change has been the extension to the naming of synthetic chemical substances of the practice previously used for substances originating in or derived from natural products. This practice involves the use of a characteristic “stem” indicative of a common property of the members of a group. The reason for, and the implications of, the change are fully discussed. The guiding principles were updated during the 13th Consultation on nonproprietary names for pharmaceutical substances (Geneva, 27-29 April 1983) (PHARM S/NOM 928 13 May 1983, revised 18 August 1983).

371 Proposed INN: List 117 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

8. Provided that the names suggested are in accordance with these principles, names proposed by the person discovering or first developing and marketing a pharmaceutical preparation, or names already officially in use in any country, should receive preferential consideration.

9. Group relationship in INN (see General principle 2) should if possible be shown by using a common stem. The following list contains examples of stems for groups of substances, particularly for new groups. There are many other stems in active use.1 Where a stem is shown without any hyphens it may be used anywhere in the name.

ANNEXE 1

PROCEDURE A SUIVRE EN VUE DU CHOIX DE DENOMINATIONS COMMUNES INTERNATIONALES RECOMMANDEES POUR LES SUBSTANCES PHARMACEUTIQUES1

L’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (également désignée ci-après sous l’appellation « OMS ») observe la procédure exposée ci-dessous pour l’attribution de dénominations communes internationales recommandées pour les substances pharmaceutiques, conformément à la résolution WHA3.11 de l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé, et pour le remplacement de telles dénominations.

Article 1 - Les propositions de dénominations communes internationales recommandées et les propositions de remplacement de telles dénominations sont soumises à l’OMS sur la formule prévue à cet effet. L’examen de telles propositions est soumis au paiement d’une taxe administrative destinée uniquement à couvrir les coûts correspondants assumés par le Secrétariat de l’OMS (« le Secrétariat »). Le montant de cette taxe est déterminé par le Secrétariat et peut être modifié de temps à autre.

Article 2 - Ces propositions sont soumises par le Secrétariat aux experts désignés à cette fin parmi les personnalités inscrites au Tableau d’experts de la Pharmacopée internationale et des Préparations pharmaceutiques, ci-après désignés sous l’appellation « le Groupe d’experts des DCI » ; elles sont examinées par les experts conformément aux « Directives générales pour la formation de dénominations communes internationales pour les substances pharmaceutiques » reproduites ci-après2. La dénomination acceptée est la dénomination employée par la personne qui découvre ou qui, la première, fabrique et lance sur le marché une substance pharmaceutique, à moins que des raisons majeures n’obligent à s’écarter de cette règle.

Article 3 - Après l’examen prévu à l’article 2, le Secrétariat notifie qu’un projet de dénomination commune internationale est à l’étude. a) Cette notification est faite par une insertion dans WHO Drug Information3 et par l’envoi d’une lettre aux Etats Membres et aux commissions nationales et régionales de pharmacopée ou autres organismes désignés par les Etats Membres.

i) Notification est également faite à la personne qui a soumis la proposition (« le demandeur initial ») et à d’autres personnes portant à la dénomination mise à l’étude un intérêt notoire. b) Cette notification contient les indications suivantes :

i) dénomination mise à l’étude;

ii) nom de l’auteur de la proposition tendant à attribuer une dénomination à la substance, si cette personne le demande ;

iii) définition de la substance dont la dénomination est mise à l’étude ;

iv) délai pendant lequel seront reçues les observations et les objections à l’égard de cette dénomination ; nom et adresse de la personne habilitée à recevoir ces observations et objections ;

v) mention des pouvoirs en vertu desquels agit l’OMS et référence au présent règlement.

1 Voir annexe 1 dans OMS, Série de Rapports techniques, N° 581, 1975. Le texte original a été adopté par le Conseil exécutif dans sa résolution EB15.R7 et amendé dans ses résolutions EB43.R9 et EB115.R4. 2 Voir annexe 2. 3 Avant 1987, les listes de dénominations communes internationales étaient publiées dans la Chronique de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé.

373 Proposed INN: List 117 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

c) En envoyant cette notification, le Secrétariat demande aux Etats Membres de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour prévenir l’acquisition de droits de propriété sur la dénomination proposée pendant la période au cours de laquelle cette dénomination est mise à l’étude par l’OMS.

Article 4 - Des observations sur la dénomination proposée peuvent être adressées à l’OMS par toute personne, dans les quatre mois qui suivent la date de publication de la dénomination dans WHO Drug Information (voir l’article 3).

Article 5 - Toute personne intéressée peut formuler une objection formelle contre la dénomination proposée dans les quatre mois qui suivent la date de publication de la dénomination dans WHO Drug Information (voir l’article 3).

Cette objection doit s’accompagner des indications suivantes :

i) nom de l’auteur de l’objection ;

ii) intérêt qu’il ou elle porte à la dénomination en cause ;

iii) raisons motivant l’objection contre la dénomination proposée.

Article 6 - Lorsqu’une objection formelle est formulée en vertu de l’article 5, l’OMS peut soit soumettre la dénomination proposée à un nouvel examen, soit intervenir pour tenter d’obtenir le retrait de l’objection. Sans préjudice de l’examen par l’OMS d’une ou de plusieurs appellations de remplacement, l’OMS n’adopte pas d’appellation comme dénomination commune internationale recommandée tant qu’une objection formelle présentée conformément à l’article 5 n’est pas levée.

Article 7 - Lorsqu’il n’est formulé aucune objection en vertu de l’article 5, ou que toutes les objections présentées ont été levées, le Secrétariat fait une notification conformément aux dispositions du paragraphe a) de l’article 3, en indiquant que la dénomination a été choisie par l’OMS en tant que dénomination commune internationale recommandée.

Article 8 - En communiquant aux Etats Membres, conformément à l’article 7, une dénomination commune internationale recommandée, le Secrétariat : a) demande que cette dénomination soit reconnue comme dénomination commune de la substance considérée ; et b) demande aux Etats Membres de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour prévenir l’acquisition de droits de propriété sur cette dénomination et interdire le dépôt de cette dénomination comme marque ou appellation commerciale.

Article 9 - a) Dans le cas exceptionnel où une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée donne lieu à des erreurs de médication, de prescription ou de distribution ou en comporte un risque démontrable, en raison d’une similitude avec une autre appellation dans la pratique pharmaceutique et/ou de prescription, et où il apparaît que ces erreurs ou ces risques d’erreur ne peuvent être facilement évités par d’autres interventions que le remplacement éventuel d’une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée, ou dans le cas où une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée diffère sensiblement de la dénomination commune approuvée dans un nombre important d’Etats Membres, ou dans d’autres circonstances exceptionnelles qui justifient le remplacement d’une dénomination commune internationale recommandée, toute personne intéressée peut formuler une proposition dans ce sens. Cette proposition est présentée sur la formule prévue à cet effet et doit s’accompagner des indications suivantes :

i) nom de l’auteur de la proposition ;

ii) intérêt qu’il ou elle porte au remplacement proposé ;

iii) raisons motivant la proposition ; et

374 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Proposed INN: List 117

iv) description, faits à l’appui, des autres interventions entreprises pour tenter de régler le problème et exposé des raisons pour lesquelles ces interventions ont échoué.

Les propositions peuvent comprendre une proposition de nouvelle dénomination commune internationale de remplacement, établie conformément aux Directives générales, compte tenu de la substance pharmaceutique pour laquelle la nouvelle dénomination commune internationale de remplacement est proposée.

Le Secrétariat transmet une copie de la proposition pour examen, conformément à la procédure exposée plus loin au paragraphe b), au Groupe d’experts des DCI et au demandeur initial ou à son successeur (s’il s’agit d’une personne différente de celle qui a formulé la proposition de remplacement et pour autant que le demandeur initial ou son successeur soit connu ou puisse être retrouvé moyennant des efforts diligents, notamment des contacts avec les associations industrielles).

De plus, le Secrétariat demande aux entités et personnes ci-après de formuler des observations sur la proposition :

i) les Etats Membres et les commissions nationales et régionales de pharmacopée ou d’autres organismes désignés par les Etats Membres (en insérant une note à cet effet dans la lettre mentionnée à l’article 3.a), et

ii) toutes autres personnes portant au remplacement proposé un intérêt notoire.

La demande d’observations contient les indications suivantes :

i) dénomination commune internationale recommandée pour laquelle un remplacement est proposé (et la dénomination de remplacement proposée, si elle est fournie) ;

ii) nom de l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement (si cette personne le demande) ;

iii) définition de la substance faisant l’objet du remplacement proposé et raisons avancées pour le remplacement ;

iv) délai pendant lequel seront reçus les commentaires et nom et adresse de la personne habilitée à recevoir ces commentaires ; et

v) mention des pouvoirs en vertu desquels agit l’OMS et référence au présent règlement.

Des observations sur la proposition de remplacement peuvent être communiquées par toute personne à l’OMS dans les quatre mois qui suivent la date de la demande d’observations. b) Une fois échu le délai prévu ci-dessus pour la communication d’observations, le Secrétariat transmet les observations reçues au Groupe d’experts des DCI, au demandeur initial ou à son successeur et à l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement. Si, après avoir examiné la proposition de remplacement et les observations reçues, le Groupe d’experts des DCI, l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement et le demandeur initial ou son successeur reconnaissent tous qu’il est nécessaire de remplacer la dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée, le Secrétariat soumet la proposition de remplacement au Groupe d’experts des DCI pour qu’il y donne suite.

Nonobstant ce qui précède, le demandeur initial ou son successeur n’est pas habilité à refuser son accord à une proposition de remplacement au cas où il ne peut être démontré qu’il porte un intérêt durable à la dénomination commune internationale recommandée qu’il est proposé de remplacer.

Dans le cas où une proposition de remplacement est soumise au Groupe d’experts des DCI pour qu’il y donne suite, le Groupe choisit une nouvelle dénomination commune internationale conformément aux Directives générales mentionnées à l’article 2 et selon la procédure décrite dans les articles 3 à 8 inclus. La notification faite par le Secrétariat en vertu de l’article 3 et de l’article 7, respectivement, y compris au demandeur initial ou à son successeur (si ce n’est pas la même personne que celle qui a proposé le remplacement et pour autant que le demandeur initial ou son successeur soit connu ou puisse

375 Proposed INN: List 117 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

être retrouvé moyennant des efforts diligents, notamment des contacts avec les associations industrielles), doit dans un tel cas indiquer que la nouvelle dénomination remplace une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée et que les Etats Membres peuvent souhaiter prendre des mesures transitoires pour les produits existants qui utilisent la dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée sur leur étiquette conformément à la législation nationale.

Si, après examen de la proposition de remplacement et des observations communiquées conformément à la procédure exposée plus haut, le Groupe d’experts des DCI, le demandeur initial ou son successeur et l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement ne s’accordent pas sur le fait qu’il y a des raisons impératives de remplacer une dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée, cette dernière est conservée (étant entendu toujours que le demandeur initial ou son successeur n’est pas habilité à refuser son accord à une proposition de remplacement au cas où il ne peut être démontré qu’il porte un intérêt durable à la dénomination commune internationale recommandée qu’il est proposé de remplacer). Dans un tel cas, le Secrétariat informe l’auteur de la proposition de remplacement, ainsi que le demandeur initial ou son successeur (s’il s’agit d’une personne différente de celle qui a formulé la proposition de remplacement et pour autant que le demandeur initial ou son successeur soit connu ou puisse être retrouvé moyennant des efforts diligents, notamment des contacts avec les associations industrielles), les Etats Membres, les commissions nationales et régionales de pharmacopée, les autres organismes désignés par les Etats Membres et toutes autres personnes portant un intérêt notoire au remplacement proposé que, malgré une proposition de remplacement, il a été décidé de conserver la dénomination commune internationale déjà recommandée (avec une brève description de la ou des raisons pour lesquelles la proposition de remplacement n’a pas été jugée suffisamment impérative).

ANNEXE 2

DIRECTIVES GENERALES POUR LA FORMATION DE DENOMINATIONS COMMUNES INTERNATIONALES APPLICABLES AUX SUBSTANCES PHARMACEUTIQUES1

1. Les dénominations communes internationales (DCI) devront se distinguer les unes des autres par leur consonance et leur orthographe. Elles ne devront pas être d’une longueur excessive, ni prêter à confusion avec des appellations déjà couramment employées.

2. La DCI de chaque substance devra, si possible, indiquer sa parenté pharmacologique. Les dénominations susceptibles d’évoquer pour les malades des considérations anatomiques, physiologiques, pathologiques ou thérapeutiques devront être évitées dans la mesure du possible.

Outre ces deux principes fondamentaux, on respectera les principes secondaires suivants :

3. Lorsqu’on formera la DCI de la première substance d’un nouveau groupe pharmacologique, on tiendra compte de la possibilité de former ultérieurement d’autres DCI appropriées pour les substances apparentées du même groupe.

4. Pour former des DCI des acides, on utilisera de préférence un seul mot. Leurs sels devront être désignés par un terme qui ne modifie pas le nom de l’acide d’origine : par exemple «oxacilline» et «oxacilline sodique», «ibufénac» et «ibufénac sodique».

5. Les DCI pour les substances utilisées sous forme de sels devront en général s’appliquer à la base active (ou à l’acide actif). Les dénominations pour différents sels ou esters d’une même substance active ne différeront que par le nom de l’acide inactif (ou de la base inactive).

1 Dans son vingtième rapport (OMS, Série de Rapports techniques, N° 581, 1975), le Comité OMS d’experts des Dénominations communes pour les Substances pharmaceutiques a examiné les directives générales pour la formation des dénominations communes internationales et la procédure à suivre en vue de leur choix, compte tenu de l’évolution du secteur pharmaceutique au cours des dernières années. La modification la plus importante a été l’extension aux substances de synthèse de la pratique normalement suivie pour désigner les substances tirées ou dérivées de produits naturels. Cette pratique consiste à employer des syllabes communes ou groupes de syllabes communes (segments-clés) qui sont caractéristiques et indiquent une propriété commune aux membres du groupe des substances pour lequel ces segments-clés ont été retenus. Les raisons et les conséquences de cette modification ont fait l’objet de discussions approfondies. Les directives ont été mises à jour lors de la treizième consultation sur les dénominations communes pour les substances pharmaceutiques (Genève, 27- 29 avril 1983) (PHARM S/NOM 928, 13 mai 1983, révision en date du 18 août 1983).

376 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Proposed INN: List 117

En ce qui concerne les substances à base d’ammonium quaternaire, la dénomination s’appliquera de façon appropriée au cation et à l’anion en tant qu’éléments distincts d’une substance quaternaire. On évitera de choisir une désignation évoquant un sel aminé.

6. On évitera d’ajouter une lettre ou un chiffre isolé ; en outre, on renoncera de préférence au trait d’union.

7. Pour simplifier la traduction et la prononciation des DCI, la lettre « f » sera utilisée à la place de « ph », « t » à la place de « th », « e » à la place de « ae » ou « oe », et « i » à la place de « y » ; l’usage des lettres « h » et « k » sera aussi évité.

8. On retiendra de préférence, pour autant qu’elles respectent les principes énoncés ici, les dénominations proposées par les personnes qui ont découvert ou qui, les premières, ont fabriqué et lancé sur le marché les préparations pharmaceutiques considérées, ou les dénominations déjà officiellement adoptées par un pays.

9. La parenté entre substances d’un même groupe (voir Directive générale 2) sera si possible indiquée dans les DCI par l’emploi de segments-clés communs. La liste ci-après contient des exemples de segments-clés pour des groupes de substances, surtout pour des groupes récents. Il y a beaucoup d’autres segments-clés en utilisation active. 1 Les segments-clés indiqués sans trait d’union pourront être insérés n’importe où dans une dénomination.

PROCEDIMIENTO DE SELECCIÓN DE DENOMINACIONES COMUNES INTERNACIONALES RECOMENDADAS PARA SUSTANCIAS FARMACÉUTICAS1

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) seguirá el procedimiento que se expone a continuación tanto para seleccionar denominaciones comunes internacionales recomendadas para las sustancias farmacéuticas, de conformidad con lo dispuesto en la resolución WHA3.11, como para sustituir esas denominaciones.

Artículo 1 - Las propuestas de denominaciones comunes internacionales recomendadas y las propuestas de sustitución de esas denominaciones se presentarán a la OMS en los formularios que se proporcionen a estos efectos. El estudio de estas propuestas estará sujeto al pago de una tasa destinada a sufragar los costos de administración que ello suponga para la Secretaría de la OMS («la Secretaría»). La Secretaría establecerá la cuantía de esa tasa y podrá ajustarla periódicamente.

Artículo 2 - Estas propuestas serán sometidas por la Secretaría a los miembros del Cuadro de Expertos en Farmacopea Internacional y Preparaciones Farmacéuticas encargados de su estudio, en adelante de- signados como «el Grupo de Expertos en DCI», para que las examinen de conformidad con los «Principios generales de orientación para formar denominaciones comunes internacionales para sus- tancias farmacéuticas», anexos a este procedimiento.2 A menos que haya poderosas razones en contra, la denominación aceptada será la empleada por la persona que haya descubierto o fabricado y comer- cializado por primera vez esa sustancia farmacéutica.

Artículo 3 - Tras el examen al que se refiere el artículo 2, la Secretaría notificará que está en estudio un proyecto de denominación internacional. a) Esa notificación se hará mediante una publicación en Información Farmacéutica OMS3 y el envío de una carta a los Estados Miembros y a las comisiones nacionales y regionales de las farmacopeas u otros organismos designados por los Estados Miembros.

i) La notificación será enviada también a la persona que haya presentado la propuesta («el solicitante inicial») y a otras personas que tengan un interés especial en una denominación objeto de estudio. b) En esa notificación se incluirán los siguientes datos:

i) la denominación sometida a estudio;

ii) la identidad de la persona que ha presentado la propuesta de denominación de la sustancia, si lo pide esa persona;

iii) la identidad de la sustancia cuya denominación está en estudio;

1 Véase el anexo 1 en OMS, Serie de Informes Técnicos, Nº 581, 1975. El texto vigente fue adoptado por el Consejo Ejecutivo en su resolución EB15.R7 y modificado en las resoluciónes EB43.R9 y EB115.R4..

2 Véase el anexo 2.

3 Hasta 1987 las listas de DCI se publicaban en la Crónica de la Organización Mundial de la Salud.

378 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Proposed INN: List 117

iv) el plazo fijado para recibir observaciones y objeciones, así como el nombre y la dirección de la persona a quien deban dirigirse; y

v) los poderes conferidos para el caso a la OMS y una referencia al presente procedimiento. c) Al enviar esa notificación, la Secretaría solicitará de los Estados Miembros la adopción de todas las medidas necesarias para impedir la adquisición de derechos de patente sobre la denominación propuesta, durante el periodo en que la OMS la tenga en estudio.

Artículo 4 - Toda persona puede formular a la OMS observaciones sobre la denominación propuesta dentro de los cuatro meses siguientes a su publicación en Información Farmacéutica OMS, conforme a lo dispuesto en el artículo 3.

Artículo 5 - Toda persona interesada puede presentar una objeción formal a una denominación propuesta dentro de los cuatro meses siguientes a su publicación en Información Farmacéutica OMS, conforme a lo dispuesto en el artículo 3. Esa objeción deberá acompañarse de los siguientes datos:

i) la identidad de la persona que formula la objeción;

ii) las causas que motivan su interés por la denominación; y

iii) las causas que motivan su objeción a la denominación propuesta.

Artículo 6 - Cuando se haya presentado una objeción formal en la forma prevista en el artículo 5, la OMS podrá reconsiderar el nombre propuesto o utilizar sus buenos oficios para intentar lograr que se retire la objeción. La OMS no seleccionará como denominación común internacional una denominación a la que se haya hecho una objeción formal, presentada según lo previsto en el artículo 5, que no haya sido retirada, todo ello sin perjuicio de que la Organización examine otra denominación o denominaciones sustitutivas.

Artículo 7 - Cuando no se haya formulado ninguna objeción en la forma prevista en el artículo 5, o cuando todas las objeciones presentadas hayan sido retiradas, la Secretaría notificará, conforme a lo dispuesto en el párrafo a) del artículo 3, que la denominación ha sido seleccionada por la OMS como denominación común internacional recomendada.

Artículo 8 - Al comunicar a los Estados Miembros una denominación común internacional, conforme a lo previsto en el artículo 7, la Secretaría: a) solicitará que esta denominación sea reconocida como denominación común para la sustancia de que se trate; y b) solicitará a los Estados Miembros que adopten todas las medidas necesarias para impedir la adquisición de derechos de patente sobre la denominación, y prohíban que sea registrada como marca de fábrica o como nombre comercial.

Artículo 9 a) En el caso excepcional de que, debido a su semejanza con otra denominación utilizada en las prácticas farmacéuticas y/o de prescripción, una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente ocasione errores de medicación, prescripción o distribución, o suponga un riesgo manifiesto de que esto ocurra, y parezca que tales errores o potenciales errores no sean fácilmente subsanables con otras medidas que no sean la posible sustitución de esa denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente; en el caso de que una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente difiera considerablemente de la denominación común aprobada en un número importante de Estados Miembros, o en otras circunstancias excepcionales que justifiquen el cambio de una denominación común internacional recomendada, cualquier persona interesada puede presentar propuestas en este sentido. Esas propuestas se presentarán en los formularios que se proporcionen a estos efectos e incluirán los siguientes datos:

379 Proposed INN: List 117 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

i) la identidad de la persona que presenta la propuesta;

ii) las causas que motivan su interés en la sustitución propuesta;

iii) las causas que motivan la propuesta; y

iv) una descripción, acompañada de pruebas documentales, de las otras medidas que se hayan adoptado con el fin de resolver la situación y de los motivos por los cuales dichas medidas no han sido suficientes.

Entre esas propuestas podrá figurar una relativa a una nueva denominación común internacional sustitutiva, formulada con arreglo a los Principios generales y que tenga en cuenta la sustancia farmacéutica para la que se proponga la nueva denominación común internacional sustitutiva.

La Secretaría enviará al Grupo de Expertos en DCI y al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor (en el caso de que sea una persona diferente de la que ha presentado la propuesta de sustitución y siempre que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor sean conocidos o puedan ser encontrados mediante esfuerzos diligentes, como el contacto con las asociaciones industriales) una copia de la propuesta, para que sea examinada de conformidad con el procedimiento descrito en el párrafo b) infra. Además, la Secretaría solicitará observaciones sobre la propuesta:

i) a los Estados Miembros y a las comisiones nacionales y regionales de las farmacopeas u otros organismos designados por los Estados Miembros (ello se hará incluyendo una notificación a tal efecto en la carta a la que se refiere el párrafo a) del artículo 3), y

ii) a cualquier persona que tenga un interés especial en la sustitución propuesta.

Al solicitar que se formulen estas observaciones se facilitarán los siguientes datos:

i) la denominación común internacional recomendada que se propone sustituir (y la denominación sustitutiva propuesta, si se ha facilitado);

ii) la identidad de la persona que ha presentado la propuesta de sustitución (si lo pide esa persona);

iii) la identidad de la sustancia a la que se refiere la sustitución propuesta y las razones para presentar la propuesta de sustitución;

iv) el plazo fijado para recibir observaciones, así como el nombre y la dirección de la persona a quien deban dirigirse; y

v) los poderes conferidos para el caso a la OMS y una referencia al presente procedimiento.

Toda persona puede formular a la OMS observaciones sobre la sustitución propuesta dentro de los cuatro meses siguientes a la fecha en que se realizó la solicitud de observaciones. b) Una vez agotado el mencionado plazo para la formulación de observaciones, la Secretaría enviará todos los comentarios recibidos al Grupo de Expertos en DCI, al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor, y a la persona que haya presentado la propuesta de sustitución. Si después de examinar la propuesta de sustitución y las observaciones recibidas, el Grupo de Expertos en DCI, la persona que haya presentado la propuesta de sustitución y el solicitante inicial, o su sucesor, están de acuerdo en la necesidad de sustituir la denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente, la Secretaría remitirá la propuesta de sustitución al Grupo de Expertos en DCI para que la tramite. No obstante lo anterior, el solicitante inicial o su sucesor no tendrán derecho a impedir el acuerdo sobre una propuesta de sustitución en el caso de que hayan dejado de tener un interés demostrable en la denominación común internacional cuya sustitución se propone.

380 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017 Proposed INN: List 117

En caso de que la propuesta de sustitución sea presentada al Grupo de Expertos en DCI para que la tramite, este grupo seleccionará una nueva denominación común internacional de conformidad con los Principios generales a los que se refiere el artículo 2 y al procedimiento establecido en los artículos 3 a 8 inclusive. En ese caso, en las notificaciones que la Secretaría ha de enviar con arreglo a los artículos 3 y 7, respectivamente, incluida la notificación al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor (en el caso de que no sea la misma persona que propuso la sustitución y siempre que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor sean conocidos o puedan ser encontrados mediante esfuerzos diligentes, como el contacto con las asociaciones industriales), se indicará que la nueva denominación sustituye a una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente y que los Estados Miembros podrán, si lo estiman oportuno, adoptar disposiciones transitorias aplicables a los productos existentes en cuya etiqueta se utilice, con arreglo a la legislación nacional, la denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente que se haya sustituido.

En caso de que, después de haber estudiado la propuesta de sustitución y los comentarios recibidos de conformidad con el procedimiento descrito anteriormente, el Grupo de Expertos en DCI, el solicitante inicial o su sucesor y la persona que haya presentado la propuesta de sustitución no lleguen a un acuerdo sobre la existencia de razones poderosas para sustituir una denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente, esta denominación se mantendrá (siempre en el entendimiento de que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor no tendrán derecho a impedir el acuerdo sobre una propuesta de sustitución en el caso de que hayan dejado de tener un interés demostrable en la denominación común internacional cuya sustitución se propone). En ese caso, la Secretaría comunicará a la persona que haya propuesto la sustitución, así como al solicitante inicial o a su sucesor (en el caso de que no sea la misma persona que propuso la sustitución y siempre que el solicitante inicial o su sucesor sean conocidos o puedan ser encontrados mediante esfuerzos diligentes, como el contacto con las asociaciones industriales), a los Estados Miembros, a las comisiones nacionales y regionales de las farmacopeas o a otros organismos designados por los Estados Miembros y a cualquier otra persona que tenga interés en la sustitución propuesta, que, pese a la presentación de una propuesta de sustitución, se ha decidido mantener la denominación común internacional recomendada anteriormente (con una descripción de la o las razones por las que se ha considerado que la propuesta de sustitución no estaba respaldada por razones suficientemente poderosas).

ANEXO 2

PRINCIPIOS GENERALES DE ORIENTACIÓN PARA FORMAR DENOMINACIONES COMUNES INTERNACIONALES PARA SUSTANCIAS FARMACÉUTICAS1

1. Las denominaciones comunes internacionales (DCI) deberán diferenciarse tanto fonética como ortográficamente. No deberán ser incómodamente largas, ni dar lugar a confusión con denominaciones de uso común.

2. La DCI de una sustancia que pertenezca a un grupo de sustancias farmacológicamente emparentadas deberá mostrar apropiadamente este parentesco. Deberán evitarse las denominaciones que puedan tener connotaciones anatómicas, fisiológicas, patológicas o terapéuticas para el paciente.

Estos principios primarios se pondrán en práctica utilizando los siguientes principios secundarios:

3. Al idear la DCI de la primera sustancia de un nuevo grupo farmacológico, deberá tenerse en cuenta la posibilidad de poder formar DCI convenientes para las sustancias emparentadas que se agreguen al nuevo grupo.

4. Al idear DCI para ácidos, se preferirán las de una sola palabra; sus sales deberán denominarse sin modificar el nombre del ácido: p. ej. «oxacilina» y «oxacilina sódica», «ibufenaco» y «ibufenaco sódico».

1 En su 20º informe (OMS, Serie de Informes Técnicos, Nº 581, 1975), el Comité de Expertos de la OMS en Denominaciones Comunes para las Sustancias Farmacéuticas revisó los Principios generales para formar denominaciones comunes internacionales (DCI), y su procedimiento de selección, a la luz de las novedades registradas en los últimos años en materia de compuestos farmacéuticos. El cambio más importante había consistido en hacer extensivo a la denominación de sustancias químicas sintéticas el método utilizado hasta entonces para las sustancias originadas en productos naturales o derivadas de éstos. Dicho método conlleva la utilización de una «partícula» característica que indica una propiedad común a los miembros de un grupo. En el citado informe se examinan en detalle las razones y consecuencias de este cambio. Los Principios generales de orientación se actualizaron durante la 13ª consulta sobre denominaciones comunes para sustancias farmacéuticas (Ginebra, 27 a 29 de abril de 1983) (PHARM S/NOM 928, 13 de mayo de 1983, revisado el 18 de agosto de 1983).

381 Proposed INN: List 117 WHO Drug Information, Vol. 31, No. 2, 2017

5. Las DCI para las sustancias que se usan en forma de sal deberán en general aplicarse a la base activa o al ácido activo. Las denominaciones para diferentes sales o esteres de la misma sustancia activa solamente deberán diferir en el nombre del ácido o de la base inactivos. En los compuestos de amonio cuaternario, el catión y el anión deberán denominarse adecuadamente por separado, como componentes independientes de una sustancia cuaternaria y no como sales de una amina.

6. Deberá evitarse el empleo de letras o números aislados; también es indeseable el empleo de guiones.

7. Para facilitar la traducción y la pronunciación, se emplearán de preferencia las letras «f» en lugar de «ph», «t» en lugar de «th», «e» en lugar de «ae» u «oe», e «i» en lugar de «y»; se deberá evitar el empleo de las letras «h» y «k».

8. Siempre que las denominaciones propuestas estén de acuerdo con estos principios, recibirán una consideración preferente las denominaciones propuestas por la persona que haya descubierto las sus- tancias, o que fabrique y comercialice por primera vez una sustancia farmacéutica, así como las deno- minaciones ya adoptadas oficialmente en cualquier país.

9. El parentesco entre sustancias del mismo grupo se pondrá de manifiesto en las DCI (véase el Principio 2) utilizando una partícula común. En la lista que figura a continuación se indican ejemplos de partículas para grupos de sustancias, en particular para grupos nuevos. Existen muchas otras partículas que se usan habitualmente.1 Cuando una partícula aparece sin guión alguno, puede utilizarse en cualquier lugar de la palabra.
