Abstract
Preterm birth (PTB), defined as any birth occurring before 37 weeks of gestation, occurs in only 12% of all births, yet accounts for nearly half of long-term neurological morbidity, and 60%-80% of perinatal mortality. The single most common cause of PTB is intrauterine infection. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide that is both upregulated by inflammatory cytokines and capable of increasing myometrial smooth muscle tone. We hypothesized, therefore, that ET-1 is a critical component of the parturition cascade in the setting of infection-associated PTB. In our previous work, we have shown that blockade of ET-1 synthesis through the use of the metalloproteinase inhibitor phosphoramidon results in control of preterm labor. In the current work, we showed that blockade of ET-1 action with 5-50 mg/kg i.p. 3-(3-carboxybenzyl)-1-((6-ethylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methyl)-6-hydroxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid (HJP272), a putative novel selective ETA-receptor antagonist (IC50, 70 nmol/L), prevents PTB induced with up to 50 mg/kg of i.p. lipopolysaccharide in a mouse model. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of control of infection-associated PTB with a specific ETA-receptor antagonist. The identification of a novel effective therapy for PTB could have important clinical implications.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
