RU486 is a steroid hormone similar to progesterone, the production of which by the ovary and placenta is essential to maintain a pregnancy. RU486 binds to cells in the same manner as progesterone does, but blocks the effects of the natural hormone. Two days after an oral dose of RU486, the woman takes a drug called a prostaglandin, which initiates contractions of the uterus that result in the expulsion of the embryo - a drug-induced termination (abortion). RU486 is presently (Nov 1989) only used in clinical trials.Credit:Philippe Plailly/Science SourceSize:5007px × 3567px (~51 MB)Get PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:abortion drug-abortion pill-anti-progesterone-cad-computer-aided design-drug-high-tech-model-molecular modeling-molecule-ru486-structur-structure-T472/0005-T4720005Model release:Not releasedRestrictions:No Sale through SubagentsParent folder:SPL FTP 150422
