(ii) alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl groups with up to 6 carbon atoms in the group, where the group is attached to oxygen (for example, an ester or an ether group), nitrogen, sulphur or carbon;

(iii) halogen, hydroxy, nitro or amino groups; or

(e) a structural modification obtained in one or more of the following ways:

(i) by the replacement of up to 2 carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring structures with different carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring structures;

(iii) by the replacement of one or more of the groups specified in paragraph (d) with another such group or groups;

(iv) by the conversion of a carboxyl or an ester group into an amide group; or

(f) otherwise a homologue, analogue, chemical derivative or substance substantially similar in chemical structure;

however obtained, except where the drug analogue is separately listed in subsection (1).

(3)
The trafficable quantity for a drug analogue described in subsection (2) is:

(a) unless paragraph (b) applies - the trafficable quantity set out in the table in subsection (1) for the controlled drug to which the drug analogue relates (whether directly or indirectly); or

(b) if the drug analogue relates to more than one controlled drug listed in the table in subsection (1) - the smallest trafficable quantity set out in the table in subsection (1) for any of those controlled drugs.

(4)
The marketable quantity for a drug analogue described in subsection (2) is:

(a) unless paragraph (b) applies - the marketable quantity set out in the table in subsection (1) for the controlled drug to which the drug analogue relates (whether directly or indirectly); or

(b) if the drug analogue relates to more than one controlled drug listed in the table in subsection (1) - the smallest marketable quantity set out in the table in subsection (1) for any of those controlled drugs.

(5)
The commercial quantity for a drug analogue described in subsection (2) is:

(a) unless paragraph (b) applies - the commercial quantity set out in the table in subsection (1) for the controlled drug to which the drug analogue relates (whether directly or indirectly); or

(b) if the drug analogue relates to more than one controlled drug listed in the table in subsection (1) - the smallest commercial quantity set out in the table in subsection (1) for any of those controlled drugs.
