Mifepristone is a progestational and glucocorticoid hormone antagonist. Its inhibition of progesterone induces bleeding during the luteal phase and in early pregnancy by releasing endogenous prostaglandins from the endometrium or decidua. As a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, the drug has been used to treat hypercortisolism in patients with nonpituitary cushing syndrome. The two marketed forms of mifepristone are Mifeprex® (mifepristone 200mg) and Korlym™ (mifepristone 300mg). Currently under investigation for use in psychotic depression (phase 3 trials).
Lactitol, also known as 4-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucitol, is a sugar alcohol synthesized from [lactose]. It is used in food manufacturing as a nutritive sweetener and is approximately 35% as sweet as table sugar (i.e. [sucrose]). Clinically, lactitol has been investigated for use as an osmotic laxative and, along with other non-absorbable disaccharides such as [lactulose], in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis.[A190915,A190918] Pizensy, an oral lactitol powder for solution, was approved by the FDA for use in chronic idiopathic constipation in February 2020.
