Mifepristone (RU486) is an orally effective progesterone (PR) receptor and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist used as an abortion drug with in vitro IC50 values of 0.2nM and 2.6nM, respectively [1]. Mifepristone is an antiprogestin that blocks the effects of progesterone, causing cervical and uterine vasodilation and uterine contractions [2]. Mifepristone can also be used to treat depression and improve neurocognitive function and mood [3].
In vitro, treatment of ovarian cancer SK-OV-3, OV2008, IGROV-1 and OV2008 cells with mifepristone (20μM) completely blocked cell growth at 24h, and the effect lasted for 3 days [4]. Treatment of human gastric adenocarcinoma MKN-45 cells with mifepristone (5, 10, 20μM) dose-dependently inhibited heterotypic adhesion of cells to matrix gel, accompanied by downregulation of integrin β3 expression in cells [5].
In vivo, oral treatment of C57BL/6 mice with mifepristone (200 mg/kg) for 1 week completely blocked the reduction in the CD4:CD8 T cell ratio in secondary lymphoid tissue (SLT) induced by enriched environment (EE)[6]. Mifepristone (25 mg/kg) treated by subcutaneous injection for 14 days in depression model rats improved interleukin 1β (IL-1β)-induced depressive-like behavior and regulated the function of microglia and astrocytes[7].
