Mifepristone methochloride
Mifepristone (RU486) methochloride is a glucocorticoid antagonist that blocks peripheral glucocorticoid and progesterone receptors. Mifepristone methochloride has been shown to have minimal effects on intraocular pressure in treated rabbits. Mifepristone methochloride was developed as a water-soluble formulation to enhance ocular penetration of the drug.

Research Protocol for Endocrine Diseases
Endocrine diseases often arise from disrupted hormone production, hormone signaling, or target-tissue responsiveness; for diabetes-focused endocrine disease models, insulin signaling regulates glucose uptake, hepatic glucose output, lipid metabolism, and β-cell compensation. Type 2 diabetes develops through interacting defects in insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction, adipose inflammation, hepatic glucose overproduction, altered incretin signaling, and ectopic lipid metabolism. A major unresolved question is whether endocrine dysfunction is driven primarily by target-tissue insulin resistance, intrinsic β-cell failure, immune/inflammatory stress, or combined multi-organ failure that differs by disease stage.
