Description
What is Ulipristal Acetate?
Ulipristal Acetate is an orally bioavailable, acetate salt of ulipristal, a selective progesterone receptor modulator with anti-progesterone activity. Ulipristal binds to the progesterone receptor (PR), thereby inhibiting PR-mediated gene expression, and interfering with progesterone activity in the reproductive system. As a result, this agent may suppress the growth of uterine leiomyomatosis. Furthermore, by inhibiting or delaying ovulation and effecting endometrial tissue, ulipristal can be used as an emergency contraception. (Source: NCI Thesaurus (NCIt))

Ulipristal Acetate Uses And Synthesis
Ulipristal acetate, a selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM), was developed at the Research Triangle Institute. In 2009, HRA Pharma received FDA approval for emergency contraception within 120 h (5 days) of unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. Ulipristal acetate is a well-known steroid that possesses antiprogestational and antiglucocorticoid activity. It is the first SPRM that was specifically designed as an oral emergency contraceptive. Unlike earlier levonorgestrel-based emergency contraceptives, this SPRM drug maintains efficacy for 5 days after unprotected intercourse while having safety profile comparable to levonorgestrel.
