Ulipristal acetate (also known as CDB-2914) is a potent and selective SPRM (selective progesterone receptor modulator) for emergency contraception after an unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Ulipristal acetate has partial agonistic as well as antagonistic effects on the progesterone receptor. It also binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, but has no relevant affinity to the estrogen, androgen and mineralocorticoid receptors. Ulipristal acetate dose dependently suppressed progesterone-induced acrosome reaction and hyperactivation in human spermatozoa.
ln Vitro |
In leiomyoma cells, ulipristal acetate (0.1–5 μM; 96 h) promotes autophagy. Ulipristal produced alterations in the expression of the autophagy markers p62/SQSTM1 and LC3. In leiomyoma cells, ulipristal upregulates the Atg7 protein [2]. In cultured uterine fibroids and leiomyoma cells, ulipristalacetate inhibits the regulation of activin A on fibronectin and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) mRNA expression [4].

ln Vivo |
In vivo, ulipristal and CDB-4124 exhibit strong anti-pregnancy properties [5]. In all therapy groups, ulipristal acetate decreased the incidence of adenocarcinoma and breast fibroadenoma. Rats exposed to the highest dose of ulipristal acetate [AUC (0-24h)] were exposed to 67 times the therapeutic dose of 10 mg/day in humans. When ulipristal acetate was administered in doses up to 313 times the therapeutic exposure, mice showed no growth in tumors of any kind. The liver, pituitary, thyroid/parathyroid, and epididymis weight alterations, as well as the smallest entire lobule in male and female mice given a dose of 130 mg/kg/day, were the only findings linked to ulipristal acetate in mice. enlargement of hepatocytes [6]. When compared to the control, ulipristal acetate (1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) increased in a dose-dependent way the frequency of pathologist assessment of endometrial thickening. Both secretory differentiation and the frequency of subnuclear and supranuclear vacuole formation somewhat decrease with an increase in ulipristal acetate dosage [7].

Additional Infomation |
Ulipristal acetate is a 20-oxo steroid obtained by acetylation of the 17-hydroxy group of (11beta,17alpha)-17-acetyl-11-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-3-oxoestra-4,9-dien-17-ol (ulipristal). A selective progesterone receptor modulator, which is employed as an emergency contraceptive. It has a role as a contraceptive drug, a progestin and a progesterone receptor modulator. It is a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid, a steroid ester, an acetate ester, a 20-oxo steroid and a tertiary amino compound. It is functionally related to an estradiol.
Ulipristal Acetate is an orally bioavailable, acetate salt of ulipristal, a selective progesterone receptor modulator with anti-progesterone activity. Ulipristal binds to the progesterone receptor (PR), thereby inhibiting PR-mediated gene expression, and interfering with progesterone activity in the reproductive system. As a result, this agent may suppress the growth of uterine leiomyomatosis. Furthermore, by inhibiting or delaying ovulation and effecting endometrial tissue, ulipristal can be used as an emergency contraception See also: Ulipristal (has active moiety). Drug Indication Emergency contraception within 120 hours (five days) of unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. Ulipristal acetate is indicated for one treatment course of pre-operative treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids in adult women of reproductive age. Ulipristal acetate is indicated for intermittent treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids in adult women of reproductive age who are not eligible for surgery. Ulipristal acetate is indicated for pre-operative treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids in adult women of reproductive age. Ulipristal acetate is indicated for intermittent treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids in adult women of reproductive age. Contraception Leiomyoma of uterus |

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
