Certain terms are discussed below, or elsewhere in the specification, to provide additional guidance to the practitioner in describing the methods and compositions of the invention and how to make and use them. As used herein, the use of the word “a” or “an” when used in conjunction with the term “comprising” in the claims and/or the specification may mean “one,” but it is also consistent with the meaning of “one or more,” “at least one,” and “one or more than one.” Still further, the terms “having,” “including,” “containing” and “comprising” are interchangeable and one of skill in the art is cognizant that these terms are open ended terms. The term “about” or “approximately” means within an acceptable error range for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value is measured or determined, i.e., the limitations of the measurement system. For example, “about” can mean within 3 or more than 3 standard deviations, per the practice in the art. Alternatively, “about” can mean a range of up to 20%, preferably up to 10%, more preferably up to 5%, and more preferably still up to 1% of a given value. Alternatively, particularly with respect to biological systems or processes, the term can mean within an order of magnitude, preferably within 5-fold, and more preferably within 2-fold, of a value. The term “alkyl” is art-recognized, and includes saturated aliphatic groups, including straight-chain alkyl groups, branched-chain alkyl groups, cycloalkyl (alicyclic) groups, alkyl substituted cycloalkyl groups, and cycloalkyl substituted alkyl groups.

The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog R— S system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer, the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon can be specified by either R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (-) depending on the direction (dextro or levorotatory) in which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. The compounds of the presently disclosed subject matter contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that can be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. The presently disclosed subject matter is meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms, and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent can be E or Z configuration. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituent can have a cis- or trans-configuration. All tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. As used herein, the term “isomers” refers to different compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in arrangement and configuration of the atoms. Also as used herein, the term “stereoisomer” refers to any of the various stereo isomeric configurations which may exist for a given compound of the presently disclosed subject matter and includes geometric isomers. It is understood that a substituent may be attached at a chiral center of a carbon atom. Therefore, the presently disclosed subject matter includes enantiomers, diastereomers, or racemates of the compound. Also, as used herein, the terms “constitutional isomers” refers to different compounds which have the same numbers of, and types of, atoms but the atoms are connected differently. The term, “carrier,” refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient or vehicle with which the therapeutic is administered. Such physiological carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. Water is a suitable carrier when the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions also can be employed as liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol and the like. The composition, if desired, can also contain minor amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, or pH buffering agents. For purposes of clarity and not by way of limitation, the detailed description of the disclosed subject matter is divided into the following subsections: 5.1 Tlr4 inhibitory compounds; 5.2 pharmaceutical compositions; 5.3 disorders; and 5.4 methods of treatment. 5.1 TLR4 INHIBITORY COMPOUNDS The present disclosure provides carbon analogs of pyranose derivatives.

Example 1: Exemplary Synthesis of Carbon Analogs of Pyranose Derivatives The present Example provides synthesis of carbon analogs of pyranose derivatives according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure. All reactions were performed under N 2 atmosphere that had been passed through a column of Drierite. All glassware were either flame-dried under high vacuum or dried in an oven overnight prior to use and allowed to cool under a stream of N 2 . Reactions were stirred magnetically using Teflon-coated magnetic stirring bars, and syringe needles were dried in an oven and cooled in a desiccator cabinet over Drierite. The CH 2 Cl 2 was freshly distilled over calcium hydride. All other materials were obtained from commercial sources and used as received. Reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis on pre- coated silica gel 60 F254 plates (250 μm layer thickness); visualization was accomplished by UV light (254 nm) and/or by staining with KMnO 4 solution (1.5 g KMnO 4 and 10 g K 2 CO 3 in 200 mL H 2 O with 10% NaOH, or PMA solution (10 g of phosphomolybdic acid in 100 mL of absolute ethanol). Flash chromatography was carried out on silica gel 60 (230–400 mesh). Melting points were determined in open capillary tubes, recorded on a Mel-Temp II apparatus fitted with a Fluke 51 II digital thermometer, and are uncorrected. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra were acquired on Bruker instruments operating at 300, 400, 500, and 600 MHz for 1 H and 13 C at ambient temperature. Chemical shifts (δ) were reported in parts per million (ppm) with the residual solvent peak used as an internal standard (CDCl 3 : 7.26 ppm for 1 H NMR and 77.16 ppm for 13 C NMR). 1 H NMR were tabulated as follows: chemical shifts, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet, br = broad), coupling constant(s), and number of protons. High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained on a Thermo Scientific Exactive Orbitrap LC-MS (ESI positive ion mode) coupled to a Thermo Scientific Accela HPLC system using a 3.5 μM Water XTerra C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm; 10 min gradient elution with MeCN/H 2 O/MeOH containing 0.1% formic acid at a flow rate of 500 μL/min from 3:92:5 at 0–0.5 min to 93:2:5 at 4.0, back to 3:92:5 from 6.0 to 7.5 min).

Example 2: Compounds for controlling inflammatory and immune responses associated with infection The present Example provides for approaches for controlling inflammation response according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure. Experimental Methods and Materials Mouse enteroids. Primary intestinal crypt cultures (enteroids) were generated from the ileum of neonatal (p7–p11) mice and maintained in Matrigel (Corning). The enteroids were digested and passed using TrypLE Express (Gibco) weekly, and used between passage 3 and 10 for all experiments. The enteroids were pre-treated with C34 analogues (20 μM, overnight) and then treated with LPS (50 μg per mL) for 4 h for further analysis. The relative mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) (Figure 1) and tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) (Figure 2) were shown. Mice. C57BL/6J mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory, and all mice were housed in a specific pathogen free environment (ambient temperature between 20 and 25 °C, humidity between 30 to 70%) on a 12-hour-light/12-hour-dark cycle with free access to water and standard rodent chow (Teklad global 18% protein rodent diets, Envigo). Endotoxemia model. Endotoxemia was induced in neonatal pups (p11-p14) of either gender, which were randomly divided into control and test groups, by administering 5 mg per kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) via intraperitoneal injection, and ileal samples were harvested 6 h after LPS treatments. C34 and C34 analogues were given through oral gavage 1 day prior to the LPS injection at the dose of 20 mg per kg body weight. Mouse NEC model. Experimental NEC was induced in a well validated and reproducible model in 7-day-old mice of either gender, which were randomly divided into control and test groups, by gavage feeding newborn mice with formula containing Similac Advance infant formula (Abbott Nutrition): Esbilac (PetAg) canine milk replacer, 2:1 ratio, which was supplemented with enteric bacteria made from a stock created from a specimen obtained from an infant with surgical NEC five times per day. Additionally, the mice were subjected to hypoxia (5% O2–95% N2) for 10 min in a hypoxia chamber (Billups- Rothenberg) twice daily for 4 days. The C34 analogues were administered by oral gavage during the induction of NEC at the dose of 10 mg per kg body weight per day. Age-matched breast milk-fed mouse pups were used as non-NEC controls. The relative mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) (Figure 3), interleukin 6 (Il6) (Figure 4), interleukin 1 beta (Il1b) (Figure 5), tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) (Figure 6) and lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) (Figure 7) were shown. RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and qPCR. Total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and complementary DNA was synthesized from 0.5 μg RNA using QuantiTect Reverse Transcription kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s protocols. The mRNA quantification was performed on the Bio-Rad CFX96 Real-Time System (Bio-Rad) using iTaq™ universal SYBR® Green supermix (Bio-Rad) and Bio-Rad CFX Manager 3.1 software was used to collect data from qRT-PCR. The relative mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) (Figure 8), interleukin 6 (Il6) (Figure 9), interleukin 1 beta (Il1b) (Figure 10), tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) (Figure 11), and lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) (Figure 12) were normalized against the expression of the housekeeping gene ribosomal protein lateral stalk subunit P0 (Rplp0). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The 5-μm paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin- embedded tissue sections were rehydrated, stained in hematoxylin solution (Sigma-Aldrich), differentiated in Epredia™ Richard-Allan Scientific™ differentiating solution (Fisher Scientific), treated with Epredia™ Signature Series™ bluing reagent (Fisher Scientific), stained with eosin Y solution (Sigma-Aldrich), dehydrated, and then mounted using Permount mounting medium (Fisher Chemical) prior to imaging using a Leica DMi 8 microscope. The H&E-stained representative images of non-NEC control, NEC, and NEC+C281 groups were shown (Figure 13). Statistical Analysis. Transcript levels for inflammatory biomarkers were assessed by performing a one-way ANOVA statistical analysis followed by multiple comparison. Statistical significance is indicated by p-values, where *p<0.05, ***p<0.001****p<0.0001. Data is represented as relative mRNA expression normalized to the housekeeping gene Rplp0. Each data point represents and individual mouse. Results The present examples demonstrated the effectiveness of C34 analogs in controlling inflammation and immune response associated with infection. In vitro studies were conducted using primary intestinal crypt cultures, specifically enteroids. The pre-treatment of enteroids with C34 analogs demonstrated the ability to control inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as indicated by the relative mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) (Figure 1) and tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) (Figure 2). The present example further evaluated the efficacy of C34 analogs in controlling inflammation in an endotoxemia mouse model. Neonatal pups were subjected to endotoxemia by administering lipopolysaccharide (LPS) via intraperitoneal injection. The effects of C34 analogs were evaluated by pre-administering them through oral gavage one day prior to the LPS injection. Ileal samples were harvested six hours after LPS treatment to assess the inflammatory response markers Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) (Figure 8), interleukin 6 (Il6) (Figure 9), interleukin 1 beta (Il1b) (Figure 10), tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) (Figure 11) and lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) (Figure 12). Similarly, C34 analogs were evaluated in a mouse model for necrotizing enterocolitis inflammation markers Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) (Figure 3), interleukin 6 (Il6) (Figure 4), interleukin 1 beta (Il1b) (Figure 5), tumor necrosis factor (Tnf) (Figure 6) and lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) (Figure 7) were evaluated following induction of NEC, via qRT-PCR analysis. Notably, the C281 analog demonstrated a robust response. Furthermore, treatment with the C281 analog demonstrated the ability to preserve the tissue architecture of the intestinal lining in NEC mice. ^ ^ ^ Although the presently disclosed subject matter and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosed subject matter.
