complexed to a modifying agent }<br />

NOTE<br />

-<br />

The modifying agent being a macromolecular compound <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48 K, a<br />

peptide, protein or polyamino acid <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48 R, an antibody or<br />

immunoglobulin <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48 T<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/48015 . . . { the modifying agent being an inorganic compound; e.g. inorganic ion that<br />

being chemically complexed with the pharmacologically- or<br />

therapeutically-active agent ( <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48161 takes precedence ) }<br />

NOTE<br />

-<br />

Classic ion pairs of medicinal agents are not classified in <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48 but<br />

in <strong>A61K</strong> 31/00<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/48023 . . . { the modifying agent being an organic compound ( <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48161 takes<br />

precedence ) }<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/4803 . . . . { the modifying agent being an organic ion that forms an ion pair complex<br />

with the pharmacologically or therapeutically active agent. }<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/48038 . . . . { the modifying agent being a carboxylic acid, e.g. a fatty acid or an amino<br />

acid }<br />

NOTE<br />

-<br />

When covalently linked to the pharmacologically or<br />

therapeutically-active agent, it can be via its carboxylic function or via<br />

another chemical function leaving the carboxylic function free<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/48046 . . . . { the modifying agent being a lipid, e.g. a triglyceride; the modifying agent<br />

being a polyamine, e.g. spermine or spermidine }<br />

NOTE<br />

-<br />

Fatty acid conjugates are classified in <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48038 ;cholesterol<br />

conjugates are classified in <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48123<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/48053 . . . . . { the modifying agent being a phospholipid. }<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/48061 . . . . { the modifying agent being a heterocyclic compound ( <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48153 takes<br />

precedence ) }<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 47/48069 . . . . . { the modifying agent being a heterocyclic compound which being a<br />

porphyrine or a porphyrine with an expanded ring system, e.g.<br />

texaphyrine }<br />

NOTE<br />

-<br />

Porphyrins used as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy: see<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 41/0071 or <strong>A61K</strong> 41/0076 ; Porphyrins used as<br />

photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy, the photosensitizer being<br />

considered as the therapeutically active part, and modified by<br />

another compound, e.g. polymer or an antibody, to be classified in<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 41/0071 or <strong>A61K</strong> 41/0076 and according to the <strong>A61K</strong> 47/48<br />

subgroup of the modifying agent; Porphyrins used as fluorescent<br />

diagnostic optical agents administered in vivo to be classified in<br />

<strong>A61K</strong> 49/0036
