List of
Psychotropic Substances
under International Control
The Green List has been prepared by the International Narcotics Control Board to assist Governments in
completing the annual statistical report on psychotropic substances (form P) and the quarterly statistics of
imports and exports of substances in Schedule II of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971
(form A/P). For information on the names used for substances under international control and preparations
containing such substances, as well as on chemical and structural formulae and other technical information, see
Multilingual Dictionary of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances under International Control. 1
Part one. Substances in Schedules I, II, III and IV of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of
1971;
Part two. Names, synonyms and trade names of psychotropic substances, their salts and preparations
containing psychotropic substances under international control;
Part three. Pure drug content of bases and salts of psychotropic substances under international control;
Part four. Prohibition of and restrictions on export and import pursuant to article 13 of the
Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971.

Part one. Substances in Schedules I, II, III and IV of the Convention on
Psychotropic Substances of 1971
Psychotropic substances under international control are presented in the schedules below. Where an
international non-proprietary name (INN) is available for a substance, that INN is given in the left-hand
column. Where no INN is available, the non-proprietary or trivial names of the substance are given in the
second column of the table. Where a trivial name is commonly applied to a substance with a given INN, then
the trivial name is also given in the second column. Salts of all the substances covered by the four schedules,
whenever the existence of such salts is possible, are also under international control.
The following interpretation guidelines 2 concerning the stereoisomers of substances in Schedules II, III and IV
of the 1971 Convention 3 were developed, pursuant to Commission on Narcotic Drugs decision 42/2, in order to
clarify the scope of control of stereoisomers of substances in those schedules:
(a) When the substance listed can exist as stereochemical variants the following should apply:
(i) If the chemical designation of the substance used in the 1971 Convention (or in a subsequent
scheduling decision of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs does not include any stereochemical
descriptors or indicates a racemic form of the substance:
a. If the molecule contains one chiral centre, both the R- and S-enantiomers and the
RS-racemate are controlled, unless specifically excepted by a decision of the Commission on
Narcotic Drugs;
b. If the molecule contains more than one chiral centre, all the diastereoisomers and their
racemic pairs are controlled, unless specifically excepted by a decision of the Commission on
Narcotic Drugs;
(ii) If the chemical designation used in the 1971 Convention (or in a subsequent scheduling
decision of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs) for the substance which contains one chiral centre
in the molecule includes a stereochemical descriptor indicating a specific enantiomer, the racemic
form of the substance is also controlled, unless specifically excepted by a decision of the
Commission on Narcotic Drugs, while the other enantiomer is not controlled;
(iii) If the chemical designation used in the 1971 Convention (or in a subsequent scheduling
decision of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs) for the substance which contains more than one
chiral centre in the molecule includes stereochemical descriptors indicating a specific
diastereoisomer, only that diastereoisomer is controlled;
(b) When one enantiomer is controlled, then a mixture of that enantiomer with the other enantiomeric
substance is controlled;
(c) The chemical designations and INNs used in the scheduling decisions to define substances in
Schedules II, III and IV of the 1971 Convention were considered appropriate at the times when
such decisions were made. It should be understood that:
(i) Alternative chemical designations constructed according to modified chemical nomenclature
rules may be used in official documents as long as they preserve the stereospecificity when
appropriate;
(ii) If any subsequent modification of an INN definition uses a chemical designation which is
different to that in the scheduling decision, such an INN should be omitted from official documents.

2 The guidelines are also applicable to the stereoisomers of substances in Schedule I, whenever the existence of such
stereoisomers is possible within the specific chemical designation, which are under international control unless
specifically excepted by a decision of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs.

World Health Organization, 2001), annex.

In order to facilitate rapid identification of all scheduled psychotropic substances, CAS (Chemical Abstracts
Service) registry numbers were included for the most traded substances (Schedule II, III and IV substances)
and their salts. The list is not exhaustive and the absence of a CAS number does not mean that it does not exist but
rather that it was not available at the time of the update of the list. CAS numbers were included in the following cases:
(i) The substance under international control exists in the base form and stereoisomer variants do not
exist, i.e., it is a unique CAS number.
(ii) If stereoisomers exist within the specific chemical designation: if stereoisomers and racemic mixture
are already listed and related CAS numbers are available (example: amphetamine, dexamfetamine and
levamfetamine).

Part two. Names, synonyms and trade names of psychotropic substances,
their salts and preparations containing psychotropic substances
under international control
In the list below, the names of psychotropic substances in the 1971 Convention and INNs are printed in bold
type. They are accompanied by a page reference to part one, where the chemical formulae and trivial names of
psychotropic substances, if they exist, can be found.
The other names, synonyms or trade names apply either to pure psychotropic substances, the salts of
psychotropic substances or to preparations containing either the pure substance or its salt form; in such cases,
the name, synonym or trade name is accompanied by the name of the controlled substance given in part one.
These names are limited to controlled substances listed in Schedules I, II and III. For substances in
Schedule IV, only the name is given; the synonym or trade name is not provided.
The list is not exhaustive and the absence of the name of a preparation containing a psychotropic substance
does not mean that that preparation is not under international control. Preparations containing psychotropic
substances under international control may have the same name but different formulations in different
countries. In such cases, reference should be made to the composition as indicated on the product label and the
name of the substance in question should always be checked against the chemical designation or formula for
that substance. A preparation may contain, in addition to internationally controlled psychotropic substances,
other non-controlled substances. Such a preparation is subject to the same measures of control as the
psychotropic substance that it contains, and, if it contains more than one substance, to the measures applicable
to the most strictly controlled of those substances.
