This invention refers to use of cymipristone type compounds of formula (I), salt or solvate thereof in preparation of medicament for treating AIDS. Cymipristone type compounds are a new type glucocorticoid receptor antagonist. Pharmacological test shows that cymipristone has anti-glucocorticoid activity and very strong affinity with glucocorticoid receptor. Test indicates that cymipristone is a glucocorticoid antagonist on receptor level and can block the function of glucocorticoid receptor. The inventor uses cymipristone to test the inhibition on the growth of AIDS virus in vitro and finds that cymipristone has significant growth inhibition action on AIDS pathogen HIV-1.
