Chapter 20, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The structural similarity between RU486 and progesterone should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The RU486, which is also known as mifepristone is a drug is helpful in the termination of the pregnancy. It basically functions as an agent, which cause the shedding of the uterine lining and causes uterine contraction. This molecule is structurally similar to the hormone progesterone.
