Descriptions for A61K and notes/indexes are displayed on this screen.


Note(s)
    This subclass covers the following subject matter, whether set forth as a composition (mixture), a process for preparing the composition or a process of treatment using the composition:[1,7,8]
      Drug or other biological compositions which are capable of:
        preventing, alleviating, treating or curing abnormal or pathological conditions of the living body by such means as destroying a parasitic organism, or limiting the effect of the disease or abnormality by chemically altering the physiology of the host or parasite (biocides A01N 25/00-A01N 65/00);maintaining, increasing, decreasing, limiting or destroying a physiological body function, e g  vitamin compositions, sex sterilants, fertility inhibitors, growth promotors or the like (sex sterilants for invertebrates, e g  insects, A01N; plant growth regulators A01N 25/00-A01N 65/00);diagnosing a physiological condition or state by an in vivo test, e g  X-ray contrast or skin patch test compositions (measuring or testing processes involving enzymes or microorganisms C12Q; in vitro testing of biological material, e g  blood or urine, G01N, e g  G01N 33/48);
      Body treating compositions generally intended for deodorising, protecting, adorning or grooming a body, e g  cosmetics, dentifrices or tooth filling materials 
    Attention is drawn to the definitions of groups of chemical elements following the title of section C Attention is drawn to the notes in class C07, for example the notes following the title of the subclass C07D, setting forth the rules for classifying organic compounds in that class, which rules are also applicable, if not otherwise indicated, to the classification of organic compounds in A61K In this subclass, with the exception of groups A61K 8/00 and A61K 40/00, the last place priority rule is applied, i e  at each hierarchical level, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, classification is made in the last appropriate place Therapeutic activity of medicinal preparations is further classified in subclass A61P
