An active moiety is defined as the molecule or ion, excluding those appended portions of the molecule that cause the drug to be an        ester, salt (including a salt with hydrogen or coordination bonds) or other noncovalent derivative (such as complex, chelate, or clathrate) of the molecule, responsible for the physiological or pharmacological action of the drug substance.

A radiopharmaceutical substance is defined as a radionucleotide, ligand or the coupling mechanism to link the molecule and the radionucleotide that has not been registered in any pharmaceutical product.

All other products registrable at New Drug Section which do not fall under (a).
