Active moiety and available solid states forms are explored for diclofenac, amoxicillin, carbamazepine, amlodipine, with regard to their representation in coding systems such as WHODrug, SMS, UNII, CAS, and SNOMED-CT. By counting the number of medicinal products in Belgium for amlodipine in each level of aggregation, concepts for grouper of substances and two levels of grouper of medicinal products are illustrated.
