Mifepristone (formerly RU-486; C-1073; RU-38486; Mifegyne; Pictovir; Mifepristonum; Mifepristona; Mifeprex; Corlux) is a synthetic steroid compound that has been approved as a medication used in combination with misoprostol to bring about an abortion during pregnancy. It is a highly active antagonist of progesterone receptor and glucocorticoid receptor with an IC50 of 0.2 nM and 2.6 nM, respectively. Mifepristone is used as used as an abortifacient in the first two months of pregnancy, and in smaller doses as an emergency contraceptive. As a contraceptive agent, Mifepristone has been reported to reduce the size of uterine fibroids, and inhibit the growth of meningioma cells in vitro, in experimental animal models and in patients with inoperable meningiomas.
ln Vitro |
Extensive research on more potent and selective antiprogestins was sparked by the discovery of mifepristone, the first competitive progesterone antagonist [1]. After four days of exposure to 10 μM mifepristone, which is near to plasma amounts that humans can achieve, cell growth was measured. NSC 119875 has a stronger antiproliferative effect on HeLa cells when coupled with mifepristone. The IC50 of NSC 119875 plus mifepristone (14.2 μM) in HeLa cells was less than that of NSC 119875 alone (34.2 μM), a roughly 2.5-fold difference. Mifepristone treatment caused NSC 119875 accumulation in HeLa cells to increase twofold above NSC 119875 alone, with a significant difference (p=0.009) from 0.79 to 1.52 μg/mg protein[2].

ln Vivo |
When NSC 119875 is used in isolation to treat cervical tumor xenograft animals, tumor development is inhibited in comparison to the control group. By the end of the research, the combination of NSC 119875 and Mifepristone at the doses employed resulted in an even more substantial (p<0.05) drop in tumor weight, with a fall of almost 50% when compared to the therapies alone[2]. A 4-day binge-like EtOH dosing regimen (3 to 5 g/kg/ig every 8 hours) is administered to adult male Sprague-Dawley rats in order to achieve peak blood EtOH levels (BELs) of less than 300 mg/dL. Animal subgroups are injected subcutaneously with Mifepristone (20 or 40 mg/kg in peanut oil). While pretreatment with Mifepristone (40 mg/kg) greatly lessens the severity of EtOH withdrawal, Mifepristone itself does not appreciably alter the behavior of animals that have never used EtOH. There is a noteworthy interaction between drug and food (F(5,55)=3.92, p<0.05), wherein mice treated with EtOH and given either vehicle or 20 mg/kg of Mifepristone exhibit considerably higher indications of EtOH withdrawal compared to animals treated with EtOH without EtOH. Significantly, and in a dose-dependent manner, therapy with 40 mg/kg of mifepristone lessens the severity of EtOH withdrawal[3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
