[0002] Neuroinflammation is a condition associated with an inflammatory response in the nervous system. Neuroinflammation in response to stimuli, e.g., infection, damage, and / or injury can be beneficial and adaptive. However, chronic neuroinflammation can have negative impacts to the brain structure and functions, thereby affecting learning ability, memory, physical regulation and / or behavioral regulation.INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

[0004] There is an unmet need for compositions and methods for treating a subject having a neurological disease, disorder, or condition and / or elevated levels of reactive glia cells, e.g., microglia. This disclosure meets this unmet need.
[0005] In one aspect, a method of reducing a level of reactive microglia in the central nervous system (CNS) of a subject is provided, the method comprising: administering a 15- hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) inhibitor to the subject in an amount effective to reduce the level of reactive microglia in the CNS.Attorney Docket No. : 55773-741.601
[0006] In some cases, the subject has microgliosis. In some cases, the subject has neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, or both. In some cases, the subject has peripheral inflammation. In some cases, the subject has a viral infection. In some cases, the viral infection is an infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In some cases, the subject has inflammation due to aging (inflammaging).
[0007] In another aspect, a method of treating a subject having a neurological disorder, condition, or disease is provided, the method comprising: administering an amount of a 15- hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) inhibitor to the subject in an amount effective to treat the neurological disorder, condition, or disease.
[0008] In some cases, the subject has levels of reactive microglia in the central nervous system (CNS). In some cases, the subject has elevated levels of reactive microglia in the CNS. In some cases, the levels of reactive microglia in the CNS are reduced after the administering. In some cases, the levels of reactive microglia in the CNS are reduced by at least about 5% after the administering. In some cases, a level of total microglia is unchanged after the administering. In some cases, the reactive microglia express CD68. In some cases, the CNS comprises brain tissue. In some cases, the brain tissue comprises grey matter.

[0029] Microgliosis is the reactive proliferation of microglial cells in response to pathological conditions in the brain. Activated microglia have been implicated in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroinflammation is a condition associated with an inflammation response in the nervous system and this can have negative impacts on brain structure and functions. The blood-brain barrier is a selective semipermeable membrane that protects the brain from harmful agents, e.g., pathogens or substances, that circulate in the blood from contacting organs of the central nervous system (CNS). The blood-brain barrier also excludes more than 98% of small molecule drugs from access to the brain. Accordingly, small molecule compounds that cross the blood-brainAttorney Docket No. : 55773-741.601 barrier may be beneficial for use as drugs to treat brain indications, such as neuroinflammation.
[0030] The present disclosure is based on the discovery that 15 -hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) inhibitors that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and access the CNS can reduce the levels of reactive microglia.
[0031] Provided herein are methods for reducing the levels of reactive microglia (e.g., CD68- positive microglia) in a tissue or organ of the CNS (e.g., brain) of a subject. In some cases, the subject has microgliosis, an increase in the number of reactive microglia in the brain in response to a pathological condition. In some cases, the subject has a neuroinflammatory and / or neurodegenerative disease, disorder, or condition. In some cases, the methods involve administering to the subject a 15-PGDH inhibitor. In some cases, the 15-PGDH inhibitor is blood-brain barrier penetrant such that the 15-PGDH inhibitor can cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the reactive microglia present in the CNS. The blood-brain barrier penetration of the 15-PGDH inhibitor can be measured by measuring the levels of the compound that is present in the brain tissue at a time point after administration of the 15- PGDH inhibitor. The disclosure herein provides 15-PGDH inhibitors that can be used to practice the methods of the disclosure.
[0032] In some cases, the methods provided herein increase the numbers of mature myelinating oligodendrocytes in a tissue or organ of the CNS of a subject. In some cases, the mature myelinating oligodendrocytes are Olig2+ASPA+ oligodendrocytes. In some cases, the methods provided herein do not affect (increase or decrease) the numbers of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). In some cases, the OPCs are PDGFRa+ OPCs.
[0033] In one aspect, provided herein are methods for reducing levels of reactive microglia in the CNS of a subject. In some cases, the method comprises administering a 15- hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) inhibitor to the subject in an amount effective to reduce the levels of reactive microglia in the CNS.
[0034] In some instances, the subject has neuroinflammation. In some embodiments, the neuroinflammation refers to an inflammatory response in the nervous system that is mediated by non-neuronal cells, such as glia cells, due to infection, damage, or injury, thereby disturbing homeostasis of the nervous system. In some embodiments, the neuroinflammation refers to an inflammation response mediated by non-neuronal cells, e.g., oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, microglia, and / or endothelial cells in the CNS. In someAttorney Docket No. : 55773-741.601 embodiments, the neuroinflammation refers to an inflammation response mediated by microglia in the CNS.
[0035] In various aspects, provided herein are methods of treating a subject having a neurological disease, disorder, or condition. In some cases, the method comprises administering al5-PGDH inhibitor to the subject in an amount effective to treat the neurological disease, disorder, or condition.
[0036] In some embodiments, the subject has neuroinflammation. In some cases, the neuroinflammation is associated with a disease or a condition. In some embodiments, the disease or condition comprises a neurodegenerative disease or condition. In some embodiments, the neurodegenerative disease or condition comprises a synucleinopathy, such as Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), or multiple system atrophy (MSA). In some embodiments, the neurodegenerative disease or condition comprises Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy (MSA), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), progressive supranuclear palsy (DLB), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), or Huntington’s disease.
[0037] In some embodiments, reactive microglia refer to microglia cells that undergo morphological, molecular, and / or functional remodeling in response to stimuli or challenges. In some embodiments, the stimuli or challenges comprise abnormal misfolding of proteins, e.g., amyloid P (AP) or a-synuclein. In some embodiments, the stimuli or challenges comprise abnormal accumulation and / or deposition of proteins, e.g., amyloid P (AP) or a- synuclein. In some embodiments, the stimuli or challenges comprise infection, damage, and / or injury to organs in the nervous system. In some embodiments, the stimuli or challenges comprise degenerating neurons in the nervous system. In some instances, the subject has elevated levels of reactive microglia in the central nervous system (CNS). In some instances, the subject has microgliosis. In some instances, the elevated levels of reactive microglia in the CNS are reduced after the administering. In some cases, the reactive microglia are CD68-positive microglia.
[0038] In some embodiments, the levels of reactive microglia in the CNS are reduced by about 5%, about 10%, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, or about 100% after administering. In someAttorney Docket No. : 55773-741.601 embodiments, the levels of reactive microglia in the CNS are reduced by at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 15%, at least about 20%, at least about 25%, at least about 30%, at least about 35%, at least about 40%, at least about 45%, at least about 50%, at least about 55%, at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or at least about 100% after administering.

[0151] The term “substituted” refers to moieties having substituents replacing a hydrogen on one or more carbons or substitutable heteroatoms, e.g., NH, of the structure. It will be understood that “substitution” or “substituted with” includes the implicit proviso that such substitution is in accordance with permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, / .< ., a compound which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. In certain embodiments, substituted refers to moieties having substituents replacing two hydrogen atoms on the same carbon atom, such as substituting the two hydrogen atoms on a single carbon with an oxo, imino or thioxo group. As used herein, the term “substituted” is contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and non-aromatic substituents of organic compounds. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this disclosure, the heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and / or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms.
[0152] The term “one or more” when referring to an optional substituent means that the subject group is optionally substituted with one, two, three, or four substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with one, two, or three substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with one or two substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with one substituent. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with two substituents.
[0153] The compounds described herein may exhibit their natural isotopic abundance, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present disclosure, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. For example, hydrogen has three naturally occurring isotopes, denoted(protium),2H (deuterium), and3H (tritium). Protium is the most abundant isotope of hydrogen in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, suchAttorney Docket No. : 55773-741.601 as increased in vivo half-life and / or exposure, or may provide a compound useful for investigating in vivo routes of drug elimination and metabolism. Isotopically-enriched compounds may be prepared by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art.
[0154] “ Isomers” are different compounds that have the same molecular formula. “Stereoisomers” are isomers that differ only in the way the atoms are arranged in space. “Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1 : 1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a “racemic” mixture. The term “(±)” is used to designate a racemic mixture where appropriate. “Diastereoisomers” or “diastereomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms but are not mirror images of each other. 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. Certain compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms, the asymmetric centers of which can be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. The present chemical entities, pharmaceutical compositions and methods are meant to include all such possible stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms, mixtures of diastereomers and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. The optical activity of a compound can be analyzed via any suitable method, including but not limited to chiral chromatography and polarimetry, and the degree of predominance of one stereoisomer over the other isomer can be determined.
[0155] Chemical entities having carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-nitrogen double bonds may exist in Z- or E- form (or cis- or trans- form). Furthermore, some chemical entities may exist in various tautomeric forms. Unless otherwise specified, chemical entities described herein are intended to include all Z-, E- and tautomeric forms as well.
[0156] Isolation and purification of the chemical entities and intermediates described herein can be effected, if desired, by any suitable separation or purification procedure such as, for example, filtration, extraction, crystallization, column chromatography, thin-layerAttorney Docket No. : 55773-741.601 chromatography or thick-layer chromatography, or a combination of these procedures. Specific illustrations of suitable separation and isolation procedures can be had by reference to the examples herein below. However, other equivalent separation or isolation procedures can also be used.
[0157] When stereochemistry is not specified, certain small molecules described herein include, but are not limited to, when possible, their isomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, mixtures of enantiomers, including racemates, mixtures of diastereomers, and other mixtures thereof, to the extent they can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art by routine experimentation. In those situations, the single enantiomers or diastereomers, i.e., optically active forms, can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or by resolution of the racemates or mixtures of diastereomers. Resolution of the racemates or mixtures of diastereomers, if possible, can be accomplished, for example, by conventional methods such as crystallization in the presence of a resolving agent, or chromatography, using, for example, a chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) column. Furthermore, a mixture of two enantiomers enriched in one of the two can be purified to provide further optically enriched form of the major enantiomer by recrystallization and / or trituration. In addition, such certain small molecules include Z- and / :- forms (or cis- and trans- forms) of certain small molecules with carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-nitrogen double bonds. Where certain small molecules described herein exist in various tautomeric forms, the term “certain small molecule” is intended to include all tautomeric forms of the certain small molecule.
[0158] The term “salt” or “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts derived from a variety of organic and inorganic counter ions well known in the art. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic acids and organic acids. Inorganic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like.

After treatment with either the 15-PGDH inhibitor or vehicle, the A7 mice and non-SMA control mice were sacrificed and expression of the microglial markers Ibal (a microglia marker) and CD68 (a reactive microglia marker) were quantified in neural regions of interest. As shown in FIG. 1A, the neural regions of interest that were assessed included the cingulum, corpus callosum, deep motor cortex, and dentate gyrus. As shown in FIG. IB, the number of reactive microglia in response to treatment with a 15-PGDH inhibitor was assessed in the cingulum of A7 female mice and non-SMA control female mice by quantifying the number of CD68 / Ibal cells per mm3in the cingulum. As shown in FIG. 1C, the number of reactive microglia in response to treatment with a 15-PGDH inhibitor was assessed in the corpus callosum of A7 female mice and non-SMA control female mice by quantifying the number of CD68 / Ibal cells per mm3in the corpus callosum. As shown in FIG. ID, the number of reactive microglia in response to treatment with a 15-PGDH inhibitor was assessed in the dentate gyrus of A7 female mice and non-SMA control female mice by quantifying the number of CD68 / Ibal cells per mm3in the dentate gyrus. As shown in FIG. IE, the number of reactive microglia in response to treatment with a 15-PGDH inhibitor was assessed in the deep motor cortex of A7 female mice and non-SMA control female mice by quantifying the number of CD68 / Ibal cells per mm3in the deep motor cortex.
