METHODS FOR REDUCING PERINATAL MORBIDITY AND/OR MORTALITY

摘要

A method for preventing or reducing the risk of perinatal or neonatal morbidity and mortality caused by antenatal inflammation in humans is described. This method is based on the administration of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to an expectant human mother suffering from antenatal fetal inflammation. The method prevents or reduces the risk of organ damages, including brain, lung and intestinal damages, and sequelae therefrom, in the neonates, as well as the risk of neonatal death.;
