SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS

Introduced: January 2000

Description

A61P classifies chemical compounds and medicinal preparations according to their specific therapeutic effects and clinical applications in human and veterinary medicine. This subclass encompasses pharmaceuticals organized by disease or condition treated, such as agents for cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, or neurological disorders, rather than by chemical structure or manufacturing process. Inventions in this category include active pharmaceutical ingredients, drug formulations, and combination therapies where the therapeutic target or indication is the primary classification criterion. Note that this class complements A61K (preparations for medical purposes), which focuses on formulation aspects and composition, whereas A61P emphasizes the therapeutic purpose and biological activity of the preparation.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 22 subcodes exist in both systems.

3 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2000.
