Ulipristal acetate (0.1-5 μM; 96 hours) stimulates autophagy in leiomyoma cells. Ulipristal-induced expression changes of the autophagic markers LC3 and p62/SQSTM1. Ulipristal up-regulates Atg7 protein in leiomyoma cells[2].
Ulipristal acetate blocks activin A modulation of fibronectin and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) mRNA expression in cultured myometrial and leiomyoma cells[4].

Ulipristal acetate decreases incidences of fibroadenomas and adenocarcinomas in the mammary gland in all treated groups. Ulipristal acetate exposure [AUC(0-24h)] at the highest dose in rats is 67 times human therapeutic exposure at 10 mg/day. In mice, no tumor of any type increases at Ulipristal acetate exposures up to 313 times of therapeutic exposure. Ulipristal acetate-related findings in mice are limited to organ weight changes in the liver, pituitary, thyroid/parathyroid glands, and epididymis as well as minimal panlobular hepatocellular hypertrophy in male and female mice receiving 130 mg/kg/day[6].
Ulipristal acetate (1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) increases the frequency with which pathologists assessed the endometrium as being thickened compared to controls in a dose-dependent manner. There is a slight decrease in secretory differentiation with increasing dose of Ulipristal acetate, with small decreases in frequency of sub- and supra-nuclear vacuolation[7].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.26 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
The study consisted of four groups, each comprising four female cynomolgus monkeys. The groups eitherreceive ASV (control), or Ulipristal acetate at dose levels of 1, 5, or 25 mg/kg for 39 weeks. Two additional animals are allocated to the control and high dose groups for an 8-week post-dose recovery period. At randomization, there is no statistically significant difference between treatment groups in mean body weight. The vehicle or Ulipristal acetate is administered to all groups by oral gavage for 273 consecutive days at a dose volume of 2 mL/kg. Following the dosing or recovery period, animals are euthanized by intravenous administration of sodium pentobarbital followed by exsanguination of the femoral vessels.
