Progesterone receptor modulators have potential therapeutic use in progesterone-dependent conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids and induction of labour. The synthetic steroid CDB-2914 binds to the progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors. In animals it has antiprogestational activity at doses 50-fold less than those required for antiglucocorticoid effects.
