Use of mifepristone and derivatives therefor as Hedgehog protein signaling pathway modulators and applications of same

摘要

The invention relates to a novel use of compounds having formula (I), including mifepristone (RU 486 or RU 38 486) and the derivative salts thereof, for the preparation of a medicament that can modulate (activate or inhibit) the Hedgehog protein signalling pathway, which is intended for the treatment of pathologies involving a tissue dysfunction linked to deregulation of said pathway.
