The cervix tumor xenograft models are treated with NSC 119875 alone, there is a tumor growth inhibition compare with control group. However, the tumor weight loss is even more significant (p<0.05) with the combination of NSC 119875 and Mifepristone at the doses used, showing a decrease of ~50% compared with the treatments alone by the end of the study. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats are subjected to a 4-day binge-like EtOH administration regimen (3 to 5 g/kg/i.g. every 8 hours designed to produce peak blood EtOH levels (BELs) of <300 mg/dL). Subgroups of animals receive s.c. injection of Mifepristone (20 or 40 mg/kg in peanut oil). Although Mifepristone produces no significant changes in behavior of EtOH-na?ve animals, pretreatment with Mifepristone (40 mg/kg) significantly reducesthe severity of EtOH withdrawal. Asignificant interaction between diet and drug, F(5,55)=3.92, p<0.05, such that EtOH-treated animals receiving vehicle or 20 mg/kg of Mifepristone displayssignificantly more signs of EtOH withdrawal than does EtOH-na?ve animals receiving the same drug treatment. Importantly, treatment with 40 mg/kg of Mifepristone significantly reduces the severity of EtOH withdrawal, in a dose-dependent manner.
