General description
Mifepristone, a synthetic steroid, can be utilized for the management of Cushing′s syndrome and uterine leiomyomas. At low doses, it selectively antagonizes progesterone by binding to the intracellular progesterone receptor. At higher doses, mifepristone blocks cortisol at the glucocorticoid receptor, affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and leading to increased circulating cortisol, thereby controlling hyperglycemia in some patients. Additionally, mifepristone has a higher affinity for the glucocorticoid II receptor than for the glucocorticoid I receptor. In cases of pregnancy termination, mifepristone disrupts progesterone.[1]
Application
Mifepristone has been used:
- to induce damage against the proliferative and secretory phase of endometrial stromal cells[2]
- to establish a preterm birth (PTB) mice model in order to study the difference in cervical ripening mechanism between term and PTBs[3]
- to activate geneswitch gal4 in flies[4]
- to study the effects of sex steroids on prostaglandin secretion[5]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Therefore, mifepristone is considered to be a potent abortifacient. It is also known to inhibit human chorionic gonadotropin.[6] Mifepristone results in decidual necrosis.[7]
Mifepristone (RU-486) has activity as both a progesterone receptor antagonist and a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist.

Can solutions of Mifepristone, Product M8046, be stored?
1 answer-
Stock solutions of 1 mM mifepristone in ethanol can be stored at -20 °C. The top of the container should be sealed with Parafilm to prevent solvent evaporation. Solutions in ethanol, properly stored and handled, are probably good for several months (based on the structure of the compound), but we have no specific information on this.
