The use of mifepristone in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders
The use of mifepristone in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders TRENDS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM DeBattista, C., Belanoff, J. 2006; 17 (3): 117-121Abstract
Mifepristone is a potent glucocorticoid and progesterone receptor antagonist. The pathophysiology of a number of neuropsychiatric disorders implicates abnormalities in glucocorticoid function. These include mood disorders such as psychotic major depression and bipolar depression. In addition, cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease might also be partially mediated by abnormalities in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Preliminary studies suggest that mifepristone might have a role in the treatment of a number of neuropsychiatric disorders.
