The USANs for November 2011 have just been published.

USAN	Research Code	Structure	Drug Class	Therapeutic class	Target
bupivacaine	SKY-0402		synthetic small molecule	therapeutic	sodium channels
condoliase	SI-6603		enzyme	therapeutic
ixazomib	MLN-2238		synthetic small molecule	therapeutic	proteasome
ixazomib citrate	MLN-9708		synthetic small molecule prodrug	therapeutic	proteasome
panobinostat	LBH-589		synthetic small molecule	therapeutic	HDACs
tivantinib	ARQ-197		synthetic small molecule	therapeutic	MET
trelagliptin succinate	SYR-472, SYR-111472		synthetic small molecule	therapeutic	DPP-IV

Bupivicaine is a really old compound, with Bupivacaine Hydrochloride assigned a USAN in 1967, I guess it is on the list now as the non-salt form.
