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.

Did you know?It was biochemist Étienne-Émile Baulieu who 'rescued' the molecule from likely oblivion: he saw its potential and pushed for it to be tested, with the first human studies in 1981.
