Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is premature delivery prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy and is a leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. sPTB is associated with a unique gene expression profile. Identified herein are numerous safe and proven therapeutic compositions used for unrelated indications that have the biological effect of reversing, in part, the gene expression profile of sPTB and which can be used in preventative or interventional treatments to prevent, delay, or ameliorate sPTB. The repurposed drugs include several Class A and Class B therapeutics that are regarded as safe or low risk in pregnant subjects.

The present invention provides a cyano-substituted cyclic hydrazine derivative, comprising: a compound represented by the following structural formula or a stereoisomer, a geometric isomer, a tautomer, a racemate, a hydrate, a solvate, a metabolite and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a prodrug thereof. The compound is used for prevention, treatment or alleviation of autoimmune diseases or proliferative diseases in patients, and/or for inhibiting or modulating protein kinase activity.
