Antineoplastons Overview

Antineoplastons are peptide fractions initially observed to be absent in cancer patients' urine, leading to the hypothesis of their potential antitumor properties. They consist of peptides, amino acid derivatives, and organic acids, initially isolated from healthy individuals but now produced synthetically. These compounds have broad-spectrum or narrow-spectrum activity against different cell lines. While animal studies suggest potential anticancer effects, such as reducing tumor numbers and increasing survival rates, there is no high-quality clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. Proposed mechanisms include inducing cell differentiation, inhibiting oncogene expression, and inhibiting cell proliferation, but more research is needed to validate these mechanisms and their clinical relevance.

Mifepristone Overview

  • Mifepristone (Korlym) is used to treat hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in people with a certain type of Cushing's syndrome in which the body makes too much cortisol (a hormone) and who have failed surgery or cannot have surgery to treat this condition. Mifepristone is in a class of medications called cortisol receptor blockers. It works by blocking the activity of cortisol.

  • Mifepristone is also available as another product (Mifeprex) that is used alone or in combination with another medication to end an early pregnancy. This monograph only gives information about mifepristone (Korlym) used to control hyperglycemia in people with a certain type of Cushing's syndrome. If you are using mifepristone to terminate a pregnancy, read the monograph entitled mifepristone (Mifeprex), which has been written about this product.
