Mifepristone
A synthetic steroid that blocks progesterone receptors and, only at much higher doses, glucocorticoid receptors. Obtained in France in 1980 in the laboratory of chemist Georges Teutsch, in 1988 France became the first country to approve it for medical termination of pregnancy. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
