Pib[edit]

Whence the pib in all these names? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.171.88.10 (talk) 18:59, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing it has been "unofficially adopted" as the nonproprietary name (INN) stem for CETP inhibitors, like -coxib for COX 1/2 inhibitors. I can't find it in the online version of the "stem book" [[1]], so I'm guessing that it's either not been formalized by whatever body updates the INN system.. Who makes changes in INN stem naming conventions "official" anyway?

Updated versions of "stem book" are published by WHO: [[2]] but it looks like 2011 version doesn't have -cetrapib.Teaktl17 (talk) 05:02, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-cetrapib is present on USAN stem list [3] approved by USAN Council.Teaktl17 (talk) 06:31, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
