Application

Mifepristone is used as an abortifacient in the first months of pregnancy, and in smaller doses as an emergency contraceptive. It has occasionally been used in refractory Cushing's Syndrome. It is used in combination with misoprostol for the oral induction of first trimester abortions. It induces growth arrest, caspase activation, and cell death in anti-estrogen-resistant breast cancer cells, which indicats the effectiveness of PR antagonism as a novel approach to treatment of select cancers.
