The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for treating cancer and hypercortisolism. Provided herein are substituted steroidal derivative compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds. The subject compounds and compositions are useful for inhibition of glucocorticoid receptors. Furthermore, the subject compounds and compositions are useful for the treatment of cancer.

Methods and systems for making intermediates in the synthesis of onapristone are provided. Aspects include the photoconversion of onapristone synthesis intermediates using a narrow band frequency light source.

The present disclosure relates to steroidal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) ligands and related compositions that degrade the GR and/or modulate its activity that may be utilized as pharmaceuticals for the treatment of diseases including cancer.

Described herein are new anti-cancer compounds and methods of using such compounds, acting through a new mechanism of action by simultaneous inhibition of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and MDM2.

The subject matter of the instant invention is pertinent to the field of treatment of hormone-dependent conditions. New compounds and methods for treating these conditions are disclosed. Embodiments of the instant invention disclose methods for treating endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, breast cancer, uterine fibroids and endometrial hyperproliferation.

The invention relates to 17-hydroxy-17-pentafluoroethyl-estra-4,9(10)-dien-11-aryl derivatives of Formula I with progesterone antagonizing action and method of production thereof, use thereof for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases and use thereof for the production of medicinal products for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases, in particular of fibroids of the uterus (myomas, uterine leiomyoma), endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeds, meningiomas, hormone-dependent breast cancers and complaints associated with the menopause or for fertility control and emergency contraception.

Described herein are new anti-cancer compounds and methods of using such compounds, acting through a new mechanism of action by simultaneous inhibition of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and MDM2.

Methods and systems for making onapristone (ONA) using acidic hydrolysis and dehydration with sulfuric acid in an alcoholic solution are provided.

The present disclosure describes novel processes and intermediates for making onapristone.
