Accordingly, pharmaceutically acceptable relates to substances that are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, i.e., the material can be administered to an individual along with the relevant active compound without causing clinically unacceptable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the other components of the pharmaceutical composition in which it is contained.[000139] Pharmaceutically acceptable form: Unless otherwise indicated herein, any description of a formula or compound also includes any pharmaceutically acceptable forms of the compound. As used herein, a "pharmaceutically acceptable form" of a disclosed formula or compound includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, isomers, polymorphs, prodrugs, and isotopically labeled derivatives of disclosed formulas and compounds. In embodiments, a "pharmaceutically acceptable form" includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomers, prodrugs and isotopically labeled derivatives of disclosed compounds. In embodiments, a "pharmaceutically acceptable form" includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, prodrugs and isotopically labeled derivatives of disclosed compounds. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable form is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a disclosed formula or compound as described herein.[000140] Pharmaceutically acceptable salt: Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describes pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66:1-19. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid, or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2- hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate,succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like.

Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts formed from the quarternization of an amine using an appropriate electrophile, e.g., an alkyl halide, to form a quarternized alkylated amino salt.[000141] Prodrug: Pharmaceutically acceptable forms of any compound described herein can include prodrugs. As used herein, the term "prodrug" refers to compounds that are transformed in vivo to yield a disclosed compound or any other pharmaceutically acceptable form of the compound. In embodiments, a prodrug may be inactive when administered to a subject but may be converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. See, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam). A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi, T., et al., "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems," A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated in full by reference herein. Prodrugs can typically be prepared using well known methods, such as those described in Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery, 172-178, 949-982 (Manfred E. Wolff ed., 5th ed., 1995), and Design of Prodrugs (H. Bundgaard ed., Elselvier, New York, 1985). The term "prodrug" is also meant to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a subject.[000142] Prodrugs of compounds described herein may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to provide a compound described herein (i.e., the parent active compound). Prodrugs include compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or mercapto group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of an alcohol or acetamide, formamide and benzamide derivatives of an amine functional group in the active compound and the like. Other examples of prodrugs include compounds that comprise —NO, — NO2, —ONO, or — ONOj moieties.[000143] Prevent: As used herein, the term "prevent" or "prevention", when used in connection with the occurrence of a disease, disorder, and / or condition, refers to reducing the risk of developing the disease, disorder and / or condition. See the definition of "risk."[000144] Risk: As will be understood from context, a "risk" of a disease, disorder, and / or condition comprises a likelihood that a particular individual will develop a disease, disorder, and / or condition (e.g., stroke). In embodiments, risk is expressed as a percentage. In embodiments, risk is from 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 up to 100%. In embodiments risk is expressed as a risk relative to a risk associated with a reference sample or group of reference samples. In embodiments, a reference sample or group of reference samples have a known risk of a disease, disorder, condition and / or event (e.g., stroke). In embodiments a reference sample or group of reference samples are from individuals comparable to a particular individual. In embodiments, relative risk is 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more.[000145] Subject: As used herein, the term "subject" refers to a human or any non-human animal (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, cattle, swine, sheep, horse or primate). A human includes pre- and post-natal forms. In many embodiments, a subject is a human being. A subject can be a patient, which refers to a human presenting to a medical provider for diagnosis or treatment of a disease.

One of ordinary skill in the biological arts will understand that biological and chemical phenomena rarely, if ever, go to completion and / or proceed to completeness or achieve or avoid an absolute result. The term "substantially" is therefore used herein to capture the potential lack of completeness inherent in many biological and chemical phenomena.[000147] Therapeutically effective amount: As used herein, the term "therapeutically effective amount" of a therapeutic agent means an amount that is sufficient, when administered to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition, to treat, diagnose, prevent, and / or delay the onset of the symptom(s) of the disease, disorder, and / or condition. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that a therapeutically effective amount is typically administered via a dosing regimen comprising at least one unit dose.[000148] Treating: As used herein, the term "treat," "treatment," or "treating" refers to any method used to partially or completely alleviate, ameliorate, relieve, inhibit, prevent, delay onset of, reduce severity of and / or reduce incidence of one or more symptoms or features of a particular disease, disorder, and / or condition. Treatment may be administered to a subject who does not exhibit signs of a disease and / or exhibits only early signs of the disease for the purpose of decreasing the risk of developing pathology associated with the disease.[000149] Stability: As used herein, the term "stable" refers to the ability of the therapeutic agent to maintain its therapeutic efficacy (e.g., all or the majority of its intended biological activity and / or physiochemical integrity) over extended periods of time. The stability of a therapeutic agent, and the capability of the pharmaceutical composition to maintain stability of such therapeutic agent, may be assessed over extended periods of time (e.g., for at least 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 months or more). In certain embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions described herein have been formulated such that they are capable of stabilizing, or alternatively slowing or preventing the degradation, of one or more therapeutic agents formulated therewith. In the context of a formulation a stable formulation is one in which the therapeutic agent therein essentially retains its physical and / or chemical integrity and biological activity upon storage and during processes (such as freeze / thaw, mechanical mixing and lyophilization).[000150] Subject: As used herein, the term "subject" refers to a human or any non-human animal (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, cattle, swine, sheep, horse or primate). A human includes pre- and post-natal forms. In many embodiments, a subject is a human being. A subject can be a patient, which refers to a human presenting to a medical provider for diagnosis or treatment of a disease. The term "subject" is used herein interchangeably with "individual" or "patient." A subject can be afflicted with or is susceptible to a disease or disorder but may or may not display symptoms of the disease or disorder.[000151] Substantially: As used herein, the term "substantially" refers to the qualitative condition of exhibiting total or near-total extent or degree of a characteristic or property of interest. One of ordinary skill in the biological arts will understand that biological and chemical phenomena rarely, if ever, go to completion and / or proceed to completeness or achieve or avoid an absolute result. The term "substantially" is therefore used herein to capture the potential lack of completeness inherent in many biological and chemical phenomena.[000152] Suffering from: An individual who is "suffering from" a disease, disorder, and / or condition has been diagnosed with or displays one or more symptoms of the disease, disorder, and / or condition.[000153] Susceptible to: An individual who is "susceptible to" a disease, disorder, and / or condition has not been diagnosed with the disease, disorder, and / or condition. In embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition may not exhibit symptoms of the disease, disorder, and / or condition. In embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder, condition, or event (for example, ischemic stroke) may be characterized by one or more of the following: (1) a genetic mutation associated with development of the disease, disorder, and / or condition; (2) a genetic polymorphism associated with development of the disease, disorder, and / or condition; (3) increased and / or decreased expression and / or activity of a protein associated with the disease, disorder, and / or condition; (4) habits and / or lifestyles associated with development of the disease, disorder, condition, and / or event (5) having undergone, planning to undergo, or requiring a transplant. In embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition will develop the disease, disorder, and / or condition. In embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition will not develop the disease, disorder, and / or condition.[000154] Therapeutically effective amount: As used herein, the term "therapeutically effective amount" of a therapeutic agent means an amount that is sufficient, when administered to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition, to treat, diagnose, prevent, and / or delay the onset of the symptom(s) of the disease, disorder, and / or condition.

Treatment may be administered to a subject who does not exhibit signs of a disease and / or exhibits only early signs of the disease for the purpose of decreasing the risk of developing pathology associated with the disease.[000156] The variable groups defined herein, e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, aryl, heterocycle and heteroaryl groups defined herein, whether used alone or as part of another group, can be optionally substituted unless otherwise indicated. In embodiments, a variablegroup is unsubstituted. In embodiments, a variable group is substituted (e.g., comprising 1, 2, 3, 4, or5 substituents (e.g., as described herein) and as valency and stability permits). Still further embodiments are described herein.[000157] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.[000158] Aliphatic: As used herein, the term aliphatic refers to hydrocarbons and includes both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. An aliphatic may be linear, branched, or cyclic. For example, C1-C20 aliphatics can include C1-C20 alkyls (e.g., linear or branched C1-C20 saturated alkyls), C2-C20 alkenyls (e.g., linear or branched C4-C20 dienyls, linear, or branched C6-C20 trienyls, and the like), and C2-C20 alkynyls (e.g., linear or branched C2-C20 alkynyls). C1-C20 aliphatics can include C3- C20 cyclic aliphatics (e.g., C3-C20 cycloalkyls, C4-C20 cycloalkenyls, or C8-C20 cycloalkynyls). In certain embodiments, the aliphatic may comprise one or more cyclic aliphatic and / or one or more heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur and may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents such as alkyl, halo, alkoxyl, hydroxy, amino, aryl, ether, ester or amide. An aliphatic group is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituent groups as described herein. For example, an aliphatic may be substituted with one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 independently selected substituents) of halogen, -COR', -CO2H, -CO2R', -CN, -OH, -OR', -OCOR', -OCO2R', -NH2, - NHR', -N(R')2, -SR' or-SO2R', wherein each instance of R' independently is C1-C20 aliphatic (e.g., Ci- C20 alkyl, C1-C15 alkyl, C1-C10 alkyl, or C1-C3 alkyl). In embodiments, R' independently is an unsubstituted alkyl (e.g., unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl, C1-C15 alkyl, C1-C10 alkyl, or C1-C3 alkyl).

prefix roots (e.g., alk- or ar-) appear in a name of a substituent the name is to be interpreted as including those limitations provided herein. For example, affixing the suffix "-ene" to a group indicates the group is a divalent moiety, e.g., arylene is the divalent moiety of aryl, heteroarylene is the divalent moiety of heteroaryl, cycloalkylene is the divalent moiety of cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkylene is the divalent moiety of heterocycloalkyl, or heterocyclelene is the divalent moiety of heterocyclyl. Similarly, affixing the suffix "-oxy" to a group indicates the group is attached to the parent molecular structure through an oxygen atom (-O-) (e.g., cycloalkyloxy, benzyloxy, and the like).[000192] Administering: The terms "administer", "administration" and "administering" refer to providing a composition of the present invention (e.g., a recombinant gene therapy vector expressing alpha galactosidase) to a subject in need thereof (e.g., to a person suffering from the effects of Fabry disease).[000193] The terms "individual," "subject," "subject in need thereof" and "patient," used interchangeably herein, refer to a mammal, including, but not limited to, murines, simians, humans, mammalian farm animals, mammalian sport animals, and mammalian pets. In preferred embodiments, the individual is a human. In various embodiments, a subject or a subject in need thereof is a Fabry patient exhibiting one or more symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy. Therapeutically effective: A "therapeutically effective" amount or dose or "sufficient / effective" amount or dose, is a dose that produces effects for which it is administered. The exact dose will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, e.g., Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins).[000194] Treatment: As used herein, the term "treatment" or "therapy" generally means obtaining a desired physiologic effect. The effect may be prophylactic in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or condition or symptom thereof and / or may be therapeutic in terms of a partial or complete cure for an injury, disease or condition and / or amelioration of an adverse effect attributable to the injury, disease or condition and includes arresting the development or causing regression of a disease or condition. Treatment can also include prophylactic use to mitigate the effects of injury, should it occur. For example, in one aspect, the present invention includes preadministration to mitigate damage prior to surgery involving the peripheral nervous system. Treatment can also refer to any delay in onset, amelioration of symptoms, improvement in patient survival, increase in survival time or rate, etc. The effect of treatment can be compared to an individual or pool of individuals not receiving the treatment.Compounds of Formulas (A), (l)-(X), and (B)[000195] The invention features compounds of Formulas (A) (e.g., Formulas (l)-(X)) and (B), including subformulas thereof as well as certain specifically described compounds (e.g., Compounds (l)-(36)), as well as pharmaceutically acceptable forms thereof.

Also provided herein are exemplary embodiments of structural features which may be present in any formula described herein. Any exemplary embodiment of a structural feature may occur in combination with any other exemplary structural feature described herein. Further, and unless otherwise indicated herein, any description of a formula or compound also includes any pharmaceutically acceptable forms of the compound, including but not limited to any pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, isomers, polymorphs, prodrugs, and isotopically labeled derivatives of disclosed formulas and compounds.[000197] When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or in any formula, its definition in each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence (e.g., in N(R9)2, each R9may be the same or different than the other). Combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.[000198] Any formula given herein is intended to represent compounds having structures depicted by the structural formula as well as certain variations or forms. In particular, compounds of any formula given herein may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric forms. All optical isomers and stereoisomers of the compounds of the general formula, and mixtures thereof, are considered within the scope of the formula. Thus, any formula given herein is intended to represent a racemate, one or more enantiomeric forms, one or more diastereomeric forms, one or more atropisomeric forms, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, certain structures may exist as geometric isomers (i.e., cis and trans isomers), as tautomers, or as atropisomers. Additionally, any formula given herein is intended to embrace hydrates, solvates, and polymorphs of such compounds, and mixtures thereof.[000199] Compounds described herein can comprise an asymmetric atom (also referred as a chiral center), and some of the compounds can comprise one or more asymmetric atoms or centers, which can thus give rise to optical isomers (enantiomers) and diastereomers. The present teachings and compounds disclosed herein include such enantiomers and diastereomers, as well as the racemic and resolved, enantiomerically pure R and S stereoisomers, as well as other mixtures of the R and S stereoisomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Optical isomers can be obtained in pure form by standard procedures known to those skilled in the art, which include, but are not limited to, diastereomeric salt formation, kinetic resolution, and asymmetric synthesis. Thepresent teachings also encompass cis and trans isomers of compounds containing alkenyl moieties (e.g., alkenes and imines). It is also understood that the present teachings encompass all possible regioisomers, and mixtures thereof, which can be obtained in pure form by standard separation procedures known to those skilled in the art, and include, but are not limited to, column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography.[000200] Compounds described herein can comprise atoms that exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, 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 predominately found in nature. The term "isotopologue" refers to a species that has the same chemical structure and formula as a specific compound provided herein, with the exception of the positions of isotopic substitution and / or level of isotopic enrichment at one or more positions, e.g., hydrogen vs. deuterium. The present invention is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of the compounds described herein. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium H), deuterium (2H), and tritium (3H), as well as compositions enriched in isotopologues of any compound described herein.[000201] In embodiments, one or more of the hydrogens of the compounds described herein is replaced by a deuterium. When a position is designated as "H" or "hydrogen", the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. When a position is designated as "2H" or "deuterium", the position is understood to have deuterium at an abundance that is at least 3340 times greater than the natural abundance of deuterium, which is 0.015% ( / .e., the term "2H" or "deuterium" indicates at least 50.1% incorporation of deuterium). Accordingly, the invention also features compositions enriched in deuterated compounds.[000202] In embodiments, compositions of any compound provided herein may have an isotopic enrichment factor for each deuterium present at a site designated as a potential site of deuteration on the compound of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 4000(60% deuterium incorporation), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000(90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation).Formula (A)[000203] In embodiments, a compound has a structure according to Formula (A),or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein each of L1, L2, R1, R2, R3, R4, Cy, m, n, o, and q is independently according to any embodiment, or combination of embodiments, as described herein.[000204] In embodiments of Formula (A),R1Is independently H or Ci-Cg alkylR2is independently H, OH, or (CHzJpCOjR5;R3is independently Ci-Cg alkyl, 1- to 6-membered heteroalkyl, or X1-R6;R4is independently Ci-Cg alkyl, 1- to 6-membered heteroalkyl, or X1-R6, or two R4on adjacent carbons combine to form a heteroaryl moiety, or one R4combines with R7Bto form a heteroaryl moiety;L1is independently a covalent bond, C(O), C(O)NR7A, or NR7AC(O);X1is independently a covalent bond, O, or CH2;R5is independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl;R6is independently Cg-Cio aryl or 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl; each R7Ais independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl; each R7Bis independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl, or R7Bcombines with R4to form a heteroaryl moiety;X1is independently a covalent bond, O, or CH2;L2is independently a covalent bond, CH2, C(O), NR7B, C(O)NR7B, or NR7BC(O);Cy is independently C5-C10 cycloalkyl, 5- to 7-membered heterocyclyl, 5- to 6- membered heteroaryl or phenyl; each of n and o is independently 0, 1, or 2; p is independently 0, 1, 2, or 3.[000205] In embodiments, L2is independently a covalent bond, C(O), NR7B, C(O)NR7B, or NR7BC(O).[000206] In embodiments, Cy is independently C5-C7 cycloalkyl, 5- to 7-membered heterocyclyl, 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl or phenyl.Formula (I)[000207] In embodiments, a compound has a structure according to Formula (I),or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein each of L1, L2, R1, R2, R3, R4, Cy, m, n, and o is independently according to any embodiment, or combination of embodiments, as described herein.[000208] In embodiments of Formula (I), each of R1and R5is independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl;R2is independently H or (CF JpCC R5;R3is independently Ci-Cg alkyl, 1- to 6-membered heteroalkyl, or X1-R6;R4is independently Ci-Cg alkyl, 1- to 6-membered heteroalkyl, or X1-R6, or two R4on adjacent carbons combine to form a heteroaryl moiety, or one R4combines with R7Bto form a heteroaryl moiety;L1is independently a covalent bond, C(O), C(O)NR7A, or NR7AC(O);L2is independently a covalent bond, CH2, C(O), NR7B, C(O)NR7B, or NR7BC(O);R6is independently Cg-Cio aryl or 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl; each R7Ais independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl; each R7Bis independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl, or R7Bcombines with R4to form a heteroaryl moiety;X1is independently a covalent bond, O, or CH2;Cy is independently C5-C10 cycloalkyl, 5- to 7-membered heterocyclyl, 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl or phenyl; each of m, n, and o is independently 0, 1, or 2; and p is independently 0 or 1.[000209] In embodiments, L2is independently a covalent bond, C(O), NR7B, C(O)NR7B, or NR7BC(O).[000210] In embodiments, Cy is independently C5-C7 cycloalkyl, 5- to 7-membered heterocyclyl, 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl or phenylFormula (B)[000211] In embodiments, a compound has a structure according to Formula (B),or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein each of L2, R2, R4, Cy, n, o, and p is independently according to any embodiment, or combination of embodiments, as described herein.[000212] In embodiments of Formula (B),R2is independently H, OH, or (CHzJpCOjR5;R4is independently Ci-Cg alkyl, 1- to 6-membered heteroalkyl, or X1-R6, or two R4on adjacent carbons combine to form a heteroaryl moiety, or one R4combines with R7Bto form a heteroaryl moiety;X1is independently a covalent bond, O, or CH2;R5is independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl;R6is independently Cg-Cio aryl or 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl; each R7Bis independently H or Ci-Cg alkyl, or R7Bcombines with R4to form a heteroaryl moiety;L2is independently a covalent bond, C(O), NR7B, C(O)NR7B, or NR7BC(O);Cy is independently C5-C7 cycloalkyl, 5- to 7-membered heterocyclyl, 5- to 6- membered heteroaryl or phenyl; each of n and o is independently 0, 1, or 2; p is independently 0, 1, 2, or 3.[000213] In embodiments R1is independently H.[000214] In embodiments R1is independently Ci-Cg alkyl.

Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure and may require heart transplantation. Cardiomyopathy can also cause abnormal heart rhythms. Genetic testing has increased our understanding of cardiomyopathies and has led to identification of specific genetic mutations that lead to the disease and detect mutation carriers even before the disease begins. Advanced imaging techniques can also identify problems with the heart muscle.[000529] Cardiomyopathies are typically divided into two major groups based on predominant organ involvement (see Maron et al., Circulation 113(14):1807-16 (2006)). Primary cardiomyopathies (genetic, nongenetic, acquired) are those solely or predominantly confined to heart muscle and are relatively few in number. Secondary cardiomyopathies show pathological myocardial involvement as part of a large number and variety of generalized systemic (multiorgan) disorders. The frequency and degree of secondary myocardial involvement vary considerably among these diseases, some of which are exceedingly uncommon and for which the evidence of myocardial pathology may be sparse and reported in only a few patients.[000530] Genetic cardiomyopathies include, but are not limited to, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy / dysplasia (ARVC / D), LV noncompaction, conduction system disease, ion channelopathies, Long-QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), short-QT syndrome (SQ.TS) and idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)[000531] Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a clinically heterogeneous, but relatively common autosomal dominant genetic heart disease (1:500 of the general population for the disease phenotype recognized by echocardiography) that probably is the most frequently occurring cardiomyopathy.[000532] HCM is typically characterized morphologically and defined by a hypertrophied, nondilated LV in the absence of another systemic or cardiovascular disease that is capable of producing the magnitude of wall thickening evident (e.g., systemic hypertension, aortic valve stenosis). Clinical diagnosis is customarily made with 2-dimensional echocardiography (or alternatively with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) by detection of otherwise unexplained LV wall thickening, usually in the presence of a small LV cavity, after suspicion is raised by the clinical profile or as part of family screening.[000533] When LV wall thickness is mild, differential diagnosis with physiological athlete's heart may arise. Furthermore, individuals harboring a genetic defect for HCM do not necessarily express clinical markers of their disease such as LV hypertrophy on echocardiogram, ECG abnormalities, or symptoms at all times during life, and ECG alterations can precede the appearance of hypertrophy. Indeed, virtually any LV wall thickness, even when within normal limits, is consistent with the presence of an HCM-causing mutant gene, and diagnosis can be made by laboratory DNA analysis. Furthermore, recognition of LV hypertrophy may be age related with its initial appearance delayedIllwell into adulthood (adult morphological conversion). Most HCM patients have the propensity to develop dynamic obstruction to LV outflow under resting or physiologically provocable conditions, produced by systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve with ventricular septal contact.[000534] HCM is caused by a variety of mutations encoding contractile proteins of the cardiac sarcomere. Several mutant genes are associated with HCM, most commonly p-myosin heavy chain (the first identified) and myosin-binding protein C. The other genes appear to account for far fewer cases of HCM and include troponin T and I, regulatory and essential myosin light chains, titin, a- tropomyosin, a-actin, a-myosin heavy chain, and muscle LIM protein. This genetic diversity is compounded by considerable intragenic heterogeneity, with >400 individual mutations now identified. These most commonly are missense mutations but include insertions, deletions, and splice (split-site) mutations encoding truncated sarcomeric proteins. The characteristic diversity of the HCM phenotype is attributable to the disease-causing mutations and probably to the influence of modifier genes and environmental factors.[000535] In addition, nonsarcomeric protein mutations in genes involved in cardiac metabolism have been reported to be responsible for primary cardiac glycogen storage diseases in older children and adults with a clinical presentation mimicking (or indistinguishable from) that of sarcomeric HCM. One of these conditions involves the gene encoding the y-2-regulatory subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (PRKAG2), associated with variable degrees of LV hypertrophy and ventricular preexcitation. The other involves the gene encoding lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2), resulting in Danon-type storage disease. Clinical manifestations are limited largely to the heart, usually with massive degrees of LV hypertrophy and ventricular preexcitation. These disorders are now part of a subgroup of previously described infiltrative forms of LV hypertrophy such as Pompe disease, a glycogen storage disease caused by a-1,4 glycosidase (acid maltase deficiency) in infants, and Fabry's disease, an X-linked recessive disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme a-galactosidase A, resulting in intracellular accumulation of glycosphingolipids.[000536] A number of other diseases associated with LV hypertrophy involve prominent thickening of the LV wall, occurring mostly in infants and children <4 years of age, which may resemble or mimic typical HCM caused by sarcomere protein mutations. These cardiomyopathies include secondary forms such as Noonan syndrome, an autosomal dominant cardiofacial condition associated with a variety of cardiac defects (most commonly, dysplastic pulmonary valve stenosisand atrial septal defect) resulting from mutations in PTPN11, a gene encoding the nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 genes.[000537] Other diseases in this category include, but are not limited to, mitochondrial myopathies resulting from mutations encoding mitochondrial DNA (including Kearns-Sayre syndrome) or mitochondrial proteins associated with ATP electron transport chain enzyme defects that alter mitochondrial morphology. Also included are metabolic myopathies representing ATP production and utilization defects involving abnormalities of fatty acid oxidation (acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies) and carnitine deficiency, as well as infiltrative myopathies, i.e., glycogen storage diseases (type II; autosomal recessive Pompe disease), Hunter's and Hurler's diseases, and the transient and nonfamilial cardiomyopathy as part of generalized organomegaly, recognized in infants of insulin-dependent diabetic mothers. In older patients, a number of systemic diseases have been associated with hypertrophic forms of cardiomyopathy; these include Friedreich's ataxia, pheochromocytoma, neurofibromatosis, lentiginosis, and tuberous sclerosis.Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy / Dysplasia[000538] ARVC / D is form of inheritable heart muscle disease, which involves predominantly the right ventricle with progressive loss of myocytes and fatty or fibrofatty tissue replacement, resulting in regional (segmental) or global abnormalities. Although frequently associated with myocarditis (enterovirus or adenovirus in some cases), ARVC / D is not considered a primary inflammatory cardiomyopathy. In addition, evidence of LV involvement with fibrofatty replacement, chamber enlargement.[000539] ARVC / D has a broad clinical spectrum, usually presenting clinically with ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., monomorphic ventricular tachycardia). Noninvasive clinical diagnosis may be confounding, without an easily obtained single test or finding that is definitively diagnostic, and generally requires an integrated assessment of electrical, functional, and anatomic abnormalities. Diagnosis often requires a high index of suspicion, frequently triggered by presentation with arrhythmias, syncope, or cardiac arrest, as well as global or segmental chamber dilatation or wall motion abnormalities.[000540] Noninvasive tests used to diagnose ARVC / D, in addition to personal and family history, include 12-lead ECG, echocardiography, right ventricular angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and computerized tomography. Endomyocardial biopsy from the right ventricular free wall is a sensitive diagnostic marker when fibrofatty infiltration is associated with surviving strands of myocytes. ECGs most commonly show abnormal repolarization with T-wave inversion in leads VIthrough V3 and small-amplitude potentials at the end of the QRS complex (epsilon wave); Brugada syndrome-like right bundle-branch block and right precordial ST-segment elevation accompanied by polymorphic ventricular tachycardia also have been reported in a small subpopulation of ARVC / D patients.[000541] In many cases, ARVC / D shows autosomal dominant inheritance, albeit often with incomplete penetrance. Autosomal dominant ARVC / D has been mapped to 8 chromosomal loci, with mutations identified thus far in 4 genes: the cardiac ryanodine receptor RyR2, which is also responsible for familial catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT); desmoplakin; plakophil lin-2; and mutations altering regulatory sequences of the transforming growth factor-p gene, which has a role in inflammation. Two recessive forms have been described in conjunction with palmoplantar keratoderma and woolly hair (Naxos disease) and with Carvajal syndrome, caused by mutations in junctional plakoglobin and desmoplakin, respectively. Although the function of desmosomal proteins to anchor intermediate filaments to desmosomes implicates ARVC / D as a primary structural abnormality, there is also a link to ion channel dysfunction.LV Noncompaction[000542] Noncompaction of ventricular myocardium is a congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by a distinctive ("spongy") morphological appearance of the LV myocardium. Noncompaction involves predominantly the distal (apical) portion of the LV chamber with deep intertrabecular recesses (sinusoids) in communication with the ventricular cavity, resulting from an arrest in the normal embryogenesis. LV noncompaction (LVNC) may be an isolated finding or may be associated with other congenital heart anomalies such as complex cyanotic congenital heart disease.[000543] Diagnosis can be made with 2-dimensional echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or LV angiography. The natural history of LVNC includes LV systolic dysfunction and heart failure (and some cases of heart transplantation), thromboemboli, arrhythmias, sudden death, and diverse forms of remodeling. Both familial and nonfamilial cases have been described. In the isolated form of LVNC, ZASP (Z-line) and mitochondrial mutations and X-linked inheritance resulting from mutations in the G4.5 gene encoding tafazzin (including association with Barth syndrome in neonates) have been reported. Noncompaction associated with congenital heart disease has been shown to result from mutations in the a-dystrobrevin gene and transcription factor NKX2.5.Cardiovascular, Cardiopulmonary, and Cardioprotective Indications[000544] In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is useful in methods of treating a cardiovascular or cardiopulmonary disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof.

In embodiments, a disease or disorder is endothelial dysfunction or endothelial damage.[000560] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is peripheral arterial disease (PAD).[000561] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is primary autonomic failure.[000562] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is cardiomyopathy. In embodiments, cardiomyopathy is dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) such as ischemic, valvular, genetic, pediatric, or acquired DCM. In embodiments, cardiomyopathy is left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC).[000563] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is cardiac arrhythmia. In embodiments, a cardiac arrhythmia is a ventricular arrhythmia. In embodiments, a cardiac arrhythmia is an atrial arrhythmia. In embodiments, a cardiac arrhythmia is sinus tachycardia (e.g., persistent or labile sinus tachycardia), ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrioventricular block, or sinus sick disease. In embodiments, there is an abnormality in atrioventricular conduction.[000564] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is myocardial fibrosis (MF).[000565] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is heart failure (e.g., chronic heart failure or right-sided heart failure).[000566] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). In embodiments, LVD is low ventricular ejection fraction (e.g., less than or about 55%).[000567] Therapeutic effects can be assessed by methods known in the art. For example, cardiac imaging techniques such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can be used to assess cardiac function. In embodiments, CMR is used with gadolinium enhancement (e.g., CMR with late gadolinium enhancement). Still other exemplary methods include electrocardiography (ECG) or echocardiography (e.g., Doppler echocardiography), including echocardiography with myocardial strain analysis.[000568] In embodiments, treatment of a cardiovascular disease or disorder results in improved cardiac function (e.g., compared to the cardiac function of a subject immediately prior to commencement of treatment).[000569] In embodiments, treatment of a cardiovascular disease or disorder results in maintained cardiac function (e.g., compared to the cardiac function of a subject immediately prior to commencement of treatment).[000570] In embodiments, treatment of a cardiovascular disease or disorder results in delaying the onset of a cardiovascular disease or disorder (e.g., compared to the cardiac function of a subject immediately prior to commencement of treatment).[000571] In embodiments, treatment of a cardiovascular disease or disorder results in preventing a cardiovascular disease or disorder (e.g., compared to the cardiac function of a subject immediately prior to commencement of treatment).Brugada Syndrome[000572] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is Brugada syndrome.[000573] The Brugada syndrome is associated with sudden cardiac death in young people. The syndrome is identified by a distinctive ECG pattern consisting of right bundle-branch block and coved ST-segment elevation in the anterior precordial leads (VI through V3). The characteristic ECG pattern is often concealed and may be unmasked with the administration of sodium channel blockers, including ajmaline, flecainide, procainamide, and pilsicainide. Familial autosomal dominant and sporadic forms have been linked to mutations in an a-subunit of the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A (the same gene responsible for LQ.T3) in 20% of patients. Another locus has been reported on the short arm of chromosome 3.[000574] Sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome, found predominantly in young Southeast Asian males is a disorder causing sudden death during sleep as a result of ventricular tachycardia / f ibril lation. Some cases of sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome resulting from SCN5A gene mutations and Brugada syndrome have been shown to be phenotypically, genetically, and functionally the same disorder.Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT)[000575] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT).[000576] CPVT is characterized by syncope, sudden death, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia triggered by vigorous physical exertion or acute emotion (usually in children and adolescents), a normal resting ECG, and the absence of structural cardiovascular disease. Family history of 1 or multiple sudden cardiac deaths is evident in 30% of cases. The resting ECG is unremarkable, except for sinus bradycardia and prominent U waves in some patients. The most typical arrhythmia of CPVT is bidirectional ventricular tachycardia presenting with an alternating QRS axis. The autosomal dominant form of the disease has been linked to the RyR2 gene encoding for the cardiac ryanodine receptor, a large protein that forms the calcium release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum that is essential for regulation of excitation-contraction coupling and intracellular calcium levels. An autosomal recessive form has been linked to CASQ2, a gene that encodes for calsequestrin, a protein that serves as a major calcium-binding protein in the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calsequestrin is bound to the ryanodine receptor and participates in the control of excitation-contraction coupling.Conduction System Disease[000577] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is a conduction system disease.[000578] For example, Lenegre disease, also known as progressive cardiac conduction defect, is characterized by primary progressive development of cardiac conduction defects in the His-Purkinje system, leading to widening of the QRS complex, long pauses, and bradycardia that may trigger syncope. Sick sinus syndrome is phenotypically similar to progressive cardiac conduction defect. Familial occurrence of both syndromes has been reported with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. An ion channelopathy, in the form of SCN5A mutations, is thought to contribute to these conduction system defects. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is familial in some cases, but information about the genetic causes is unavailable.Ion Channelopathies[000579] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is an ion channelopathy disease or disorder.[000580] Some uncommon inherited and congenital arrhythmia disorders are caused by mutations in genes encoding defective ionic channel proteins, governing cell membrane transit of sodium and potassium ions. These ion channel disorders include, but are not limited to, LQTS, short- QT syndrome (SQTS), Brugada syndrome, and CPVT. Nocturnal sudden unexplained death syndrome in young Southeast Asian males and Brugada syndrome are based on similar clinical and genetic profiles. A small proportion (5% to 10%) of sudden infant deaths also may be linked to ionchannelopathies, including LQTS, SQTS, and Brugada syndrome. Clinical diagnosis of the ion channelopathies often can be made by identification of the disease phenotype on standard 12-lead ECG.Long-QT Syndrome (LQTS)[000581] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is Long-QT Syndrome.[000582] Long-QT Syndrome is characterized by prolongation of ventricular repolarization and QT interval (corrected for heart rate) on the standard 12-lead ECG, a specific form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (torsade des pointes), and a risk for syncope and sudden cardiac death. Phenotypic expression (on the ECG) varies considerably, and approximately 25% to 50% of affected family members may show borderline or even normal QT intervals.[000583] Two patterns of inheritance have been described in LQTS: a rare autosomal recessive disease associated with deafness (Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome), which is caused by 2 genes that encode for the slowly activating delayed rectifier potassium channel (KCNQ1 and KCNE1 [minK]), and the much more common autosomal dominant disease unassociated with deafness (Romano-Ward syndrome), which is caused by mutations in 8 different genes. These include KCNQ1 (KvLQTl, LQT1), KCNH2 (HERG, LQT2), SCN5A (Nal.5, LQT3), ANKB (LQT4), KCNE1 (minK, LQT5), KCNE2 (MiRPl, LQT6), KCNJ2 (Kir2.1, LQT7, Andersen's syndrome), and CACNA1C (Cal.2, LQT8, Timothy syndrome). Of the 8 genes, 6 encode for cardiac potassium channels, 1 for the sodium channel (SCN5A, LQT3), and 1 for the protein ankyrin, which is involved in anchoring ion channels to the cellular membrane (ANKB).Short-QT Syndrome (SQTS)[000584] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is Short-QT Syndrome (SQTS).[000585] SQTS is characterized by a short QT interval (<330 ms) on an ECG and a high incidence of sudden cardiac death resulting from ventricular tachycardia / f ibril lation. Another distinctive ECG feature of SQTS is the appearance of tall peaked T waves similar to those encountered with hyperkalemia. The syndrome has been linked to gain-of-function mutations in KCNH2 (HERG, SQT1), KCNQ1 (KvLQTl, SQT2), and KCNJ2 (Kir2.1, SQT3), causing an increase in the intensity of IKO Iks, and Iki, respectively.Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation[000586] In embodiments, a cardiovascular disease or disorder is Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation.[000587] A subgroup of patients with sudden death appears in the literature with the designation of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. However, it is likely that idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is not an independent disease entity but rather a conglomeration of conditions with normal gross and microscopic findings in which arrhythmic risk undoubtedly derives from molecular abnormalities, most likely ion channel mutations.Cerebrovascular and Neurological Diseases and Diseases and Brain Condition[000588] In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is useful in methods of treating a cerebrovascular or neurological disease in a subject in need thereof. In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is useful in methods of treating a brain condition in a subject in need thereof. In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, has neuroprotective benefits in a subject in need thereof.[000589] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is ischemic injury. In embodiments, a disease or disorder is reperfusion injury.[000590] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is cerebral vascular accident.[000591] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is cerebral ischemia.Traumatic Brain Injury[000592] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is traumatic brain injury (TBI).[000593] Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object (or vice versa), or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. A person with a mild TBI may remain conscious or may experience a loss of consciousness for a few seconds or minutes. Other symptoms of mild TBI include headache, confusion, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision or tired eyes, ringing in the ears, bad taste in the mouth, fatigue or lethargy, a change in sleep patterns, behavioral or mood changes, and trouble with memory, concentration, attention, or thinking. A person with a moderate or severe TBI may show these same symptoms but may alsohave a headache that gets worse or does not go away, repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures, an inability to awaken from sleep, dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes, slurred speech, weakness or numbness in the extremities, loss of coordination, and increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation.[000594] Treatments for TBI focus primarily on preventing further injury or complications. Primary concerns in treating TBI include insuring proper oxygen supply to the brain and the rest of the body, maintaining adequate blood flow, and controlling blood pressure. Often, the primary treatment a TBI sufferer receives post-stabilization is rehabilitation that involves individually tailored treatment programs in the areas of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech / language therapy, psychology / psychiatry, and social support. Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel treatment for these patients.Endothelial disease[000595] In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is useful in methods of treating an endothelial disease in a subject in need thereof.Fibrotic disease[000596] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is fibrosis.[000597] The present invention provides methods of treating various fibrotic diseases, disorders, or conditions as described in greater detail below.[000598] As used herein, the term "fibrotic disorder" refers to any disease characterized by fibrosis, including but not limited to systemic sclerosis, multifocal fibrosclerosis, sclerodermatous graft -vs-host-disease, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, organ specific fibrosis, and the like. Illustrative organ specific fibrotic disorders include, but are not limited to, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver fibrosis, kidney fibrosis, NASH, and the like. Many fibrotic diseases, disorders or conditions have disordered and / or exaggerated deposition of extracellular matrix in affected tissues. Fibrosis may be associated with inflammation, occur as a symptom of underlying disease, and / or caused by surgical procedure or wound healing process. Unchecked fibrosis can result in destruction of the architecture of the underlying organ or tissue, commonly referred to as scarring.[000599] Exemplary fibrotic disorders conditions are described below and elsewhere in the present disclosure.[000600] For example, fibrosis of the lungs represents a debilitating and potentially fatal form of fibrosis. Treatment options for fibrosis in lung tissue are very limited. Once developed, scarring is permanent, and lung transplantation is often the only therapeutic option available.[000601] Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue accompanied by fibroblast proliferation, excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins, and abnormal alveolar structure. The thickened and stiff tissue makes it difficult for lungs to work properly, leading to breathing problems such as shortness of breath, and can ultimately be fatal. Pulmonary fibrosis may be caused by acute lung injury, viral infection, exposure to toxins, radiation, chronic disease, medications, or may be idiopathic (i.e., an undiscovered underlying cause).[000602] The classic findings in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis show diffuse peripheral scarring of the lungs with small bubbles (known as bullae) adjacent to the outer lining of the surface of the lung, often at the bases of the lungs. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis often has a slow and relentless progression. Early on, patients often complain of a dry unexplained cough. Next, shortness of breath (dyspnea) sets in and worsens over time triggered by less and less activity. Eventually, the shortness of breath becomes disabling, limiting all activity and even occurring while sitting still. In rarer cases, the fibrosis can be rapidly progressive, with dyspnea and disability occurring in weeks to months of onset of the disease. This form of pulmonary fibrosis has been referred to as Hamman-Rich syndrome.[000603] Pulmonary hypertension is marked by an increase in the blood pressure of the lung vasculature, including the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, and / or pulmonary capillaries. Abnormally high pressure strains the right ventricle of the heart, causing it to expand. Over time, the right ventricle can weaken and lose its ability to pump enough blood to the lungs, leading to the development of heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension can occur as a result of other medical conditions, such as chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis; rheumatic disorders such as scleroderma or systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus); and lung conditions including tumors, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis may lead to narrowing of pulmonary vasculature resulting in pulmonary hypertension.[000604] Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common lung disease that is often associated with chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Symptoms can often include cough, mucus build up, fatigue, wheezing, and respiratory infection.[000605] Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are diseases of the lungs in which the airways become narrowed. This leads to a limitation of the flow of air to and from the lungs, causing shortness of breath (dyspnea). In clinical practice, COPD is defined by its characteristically low airflow on lung function tests.[000606] Lung damage and inflammation in the large airways results in chronic bronchitis. In the airways of the lung, the hallmark of chronic bronchitis is an increased number (hyperplasia) and increased size (hypertrophy) of the goblet cells and mucous glands of the airway. As a result, there is more mucus than usual in the airways, contributing to narrowing of the airways and causing a cough with sputum. Microscopically there is infiltration of the airway walls with inflammatory cells. Inflammation is followed by scarring and remodeling that thickens the walls and also results in narrowing of the airways. As chronic bronchitis progresses, there is squamous metaplasia (an abnormal change in the tissue lining the inside of the airway) and fibrosis (further thickening and scarring of the airway wall). The consequence of these changes is a limitation of airflow and difficulty breathing.[000607] Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by inflammation and constriction of the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing, tightness of the chest, shortness of breath, and coughing. Swelling and overproduction of mucus can cause further airway constriction and worsening of symptoms. There is evidence that increased matrix degradation may occur in asthma, and this may contribute to mechanical changes in the airways in asthma (Roberts et al (1995) Chest 1O7:111S-117S, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Treatment of extracellular matrix degradation may ameliorate symptoms of asthma.[000608] Cystic fibrosis is a recessive multi-system genetic disease characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across epithelium, leading to thick, viscous secretions in the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestine and reproductive tract. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Lung disease results from clogging of the airways due to mucus build-up, decreased mucociliary clearance, and resulting inflammation, which can cause fibrotic injury and structural changes to the lungs. The fibrotic lung damage progresses over time leading some cystic fibrosis patients to require lung transplant.[000609] When referring to cystic fibrosis, to "treat" or "treating" cystic fibrosis (CF) may mean accomplishing one or more of the following: (a) reducing inflammation in the subject; (b) limiting any increase in inflammation the subject; (c) reducing the severity of one or more CF symptoms; (d) limiting or preventing development of one or more CF symptoms; (e) inhibiting worsening of one ormore CF symptoms; and (f) limiting or preventing recurrence of one or more CF symptoms in subjects that were previously symptomatic for the relevant CF symptom.[000610] Common symptoms of subjects suffering from cystic fibrosis include, but are not limited to, accumulation of thick mucus, copious phlegm production, frequent chest infections, frequent coughing, frequent shortness of breath, inflammation, decreased ability to exercise, opportunistic infections of the lung and sinus (including but not limited to Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycobacterium aviium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, hemoptysis, pulmonary hypertension (and resulting heart failure), hypoxia, respiratory failure, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, mucus in the paranasal sinuses, sinus infection, facial pain, fever, excessive nasal drainage, development of nasal polyps, cardiorespiratory complications, CF-related diabetes, rectal prolapse, pancreatitis, malabsorption, intestinal blockage, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bile duct blockage, and liver cirrhosis.[000611] In some embodiments, the symptoms of cystic fibrosis comprise inflammation. In these embodiments, some methods within the scope of the invention may comprise treating inflammation, wherein a beneficial effect of treatment can be assessed by, for example, a reduction in inflammatory cell count in a relevant sample from the subject, such as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. In a non-limiting embodiment, the beneficial effect may be assessed by demonstrating a reduction in neutrophil count in BAL fluid from the subject. The excessive recruitment of neutrophils into the airways of patients with CF is a significant predictor of lung disease severity in CF and therefore is an important therapeutic target. Methods for measuring such cell counts are well known in the art, including but not limited to FACS techniques. Thus, in some embodiments, methods within the scope of the invention may comprise reducing inflammation in the subject. In some embodiments, the method may comprise reducing neutrophil cell count in BAL fluid from the subject compared to control. Any suitable control can be used for comparison, such as cystic fibrosis subjects not treated with the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, a decrease in neutrophil count provides a clinical benefit to the subject. In various embodiments, the reduction in neutrophil count is at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 50%, or more compared to control.[000612] In another embodiment, the beneficial effect of the therapeutic methods of the invention may be assessed by a reduction in one or more inflammatory biomarkers in a relevant sample from the subject, such as BAL fluid. In various non-limiting embodiments, the inflammatory biomarker may comprise or consist of one or more of I Lip, KC, MIP2, I FNy, TNFa, IL-6, MCP-1, andIL-10 in BAL fluid. Methods for measuring the amount of such biomarkers are well known in the art, including but not limited to ELISAs. Thus, in this embodiment, the methods may further comprise the reducing an amount of one or more inflammatory biomarkers in a BAL sample from the subject compared to control.[000613] Post-surgical adhesion formation is a common complication of surgery. The formation of adhesions, from mechanical damage, ischemia, and infections, can increase morbidity and mortality following surgery. Although refined surgical procedures can reduce the magnitude of adhesion formation, adhesions are rarely surgically removed and an effective adjunctive therapy is needed. Reducing the fibrosis associated with this process could reduce pain, obstruction and other complications of surgery and promote healing and recovery.[000614] Wounds (i.e., lacerations, openings) in mammalian tissue result in tissue disruption and coagulation of the microvasculature at the wound face. Repair of such tissue represents an orderly, controlled cellular response to injury. Soft tissue wounds, regardless of size, heal in a similar manner. Tissue growth and repair are biologic systems wherein cellular proliferation and angiogenesis occur in the presence of an oxygen gradient. The sequential morphological and structural changes which occur during tissue repair have been characterized in detail and have in some instances been quantified (see e.g., Hunt, T.K., et al., "Coagulation and macrophage stimulation of angiogenesis and wound healing," in The Surgical Wound, pp. 1-18, ed. F. Dineen & G. Hildrick-Smith (Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia: 1981)). The cellular morphology consists of three distinct zones. The central avascular wound space is oxygen deficient, acidotic and hypercarbic, and has high lactate levels. Adjacent to the wound space is a gradient zone of local anemia (ischemia) which is populated by dividing fibroblasts. Behind the leading zone is an area of active collagen synthesis characterized by mature fibroblasts and numerous newly-formed capillaries (i.e., neovascularization). U.S. Patent Nos.5,015,629 and 7,022,675 (each incorporated by reference herein) disclose methods and compositions for increasing the rate of wound repair.[000615] Scar formation is a natural part of the healing process. Disorderly collagen synthesis and deposition in a wound can result in excessive, thick, or raised scar formation. Generally, the larger the wound, the longer it takes to heal and the greater the chance of a problematic scar.[000616] There are several types of scars. Hypertrophic scars are raised, pinkish-red areas located inside the borders of the original injury. They are often described as itchy. In some cases, hypertropic scars shrink and fade on their own. Keloids are raised, deep-red areas that tend to cover much more area than that of the original injury. Even when surgically removed, keloids tend torecur. Atrophic scars are skin depressions, like those that sometimes form from severe acne. They are caused by inflammation that destroys the collagen during the rebuilding process, leaving an area of indentation.[000617] Systemic sclerosis is a systemic connective tissue disease characterized by alterations of the microvasculature, disturbances of the immune system and by massive deposition of collagen and other matrix substances in the connective tissue. Systemic sclerosis is a clinically heterogeneous generalized disorder which affects the connective tissue of the skin and internal organs such as gastrointestinal tract, lungs, heart and kidneys. Reduction of fibrosis resulting from systemic sclerosis may ameliorate symptoms and / or prevent further complications in affected tissues.[000618] Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common liver disease. It resembles alcoholic liver disease but occurs in people who drink little or no alcohol. The major feature in NASH is fat in the liver, along with inflammation and damage. Nevertheless, NASH can be severe and can lead to cirrhosis, in which the liver is permanently damaged and scarred and no longer able to work properly.[000619] NASH is usually a silent disease with few or no symptoms. Patients generally feel well in the early stages and only begin to have symptoms— such as fatigue, weight loss, and weakness— once the disease is more advanced or cirrhosis develops. The progression of NASH can take years, even decades. The process can stop and, in some cases may even begin to reverse on its own without specific therapy. Or NASH can slowly worsen, causing scarring or fibrosis to appear and accumulate in the liver. As fibrosis worsens, cirrhosis develops in which the liver becomes seriously scarred, hardened, and unable to function normally. Not every person with NASH develops cirrhosis, but once serious scarring or cirrhosis is present, few treatments can halt the progression. A person with cirrhosis experiences fluid retention, muscle wasting, bleeding from the intestines, and liver failure. Liver transplantation is the only treatment for advanced cirrhosis with liver failure, and transplantation is increasingly performed in people with NASH. NASH ranks as one of the major causes of cirrhosis in America, behind hepatitis C and alcoholic liver disease.[000620] Kidney (renal) fibrosis results from excessive formation of fibrous connective tissue in the kidney. Kidney fibrosis causes significant morbidity and mortality and leads to a need for dialysis or kidney transplantation. Fibrosis can occur in either the filtering or reabsorptive component of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. A number of factors may contribute to kidney scarring, particularly derangements of physiology involved in the autoregulation of glomerular filtration. This in turn leads to replacement of normal structures with accumulated extracellular matrix. A spectrum of changes in the physiology of individual cells leads to the production of numerous peptide and non-peptide fibrogens that stimulate alterations in the balance between extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation to favor scarring.Hepatic Diseases and Disorders[000621] In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is useful in methods of treating a hepatic disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof.[000622] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).[000623] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is acute liver failure.[000624] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is liver fibrosis.[000625] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is cirrhosis.Inflammation[000626] In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is useful in methods of treating an inflammation in a subject in need thereof.[000627] In embodiments, an inflammation is scleroderma.[000628] In embodiments, an inflammation is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).[000629] In embodiments, an inflammation is acute pancreatitis.[000630] In embodiments, an inflammation is rheumatoid arthritis.[000631] In embodiments, an inflammation is acute respiratory distress syndrome.[000632] In embodiments, an inflammation is asthma.[000633] In embodiments, an inflammation is cirrhosis.[000634] In embodiments, an inflammation is uveitis.Hemorrhagic fevers[000635] In embodiments, a compound described herein, or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is useful in methods of treating a hemorrhagic fever in a subject in need thereof.[000636] In embodiments, a hemorrhagic fever is Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever (AHF), Chapare hemorrhagic fever (CHHF), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), Ebola disease, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), or hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).[000637] In embodiments, a hemorrhagic fever is Ebola.Malaria[000638] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating a malaria in a subject in need thereof.[000639] In embodiments, a malaria is severe malaria.[000640] In embodiments, a malaria is cerebral malaria.Metabolic Diseases and Disorders[000641] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating or reducing risk of diseases, disorders, or conditions that cause elevated blood sugar levels (e.g., diabetes) in a subject in need thereof.[000642] The blood sugar concentration in the blood in healthy individuals is normally maintained between 64.8 and 104.4 mg / dL (American Diabetes Association, "Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes— 2010", Diabetes Care, 33: S1-S61, 2010). The body tightly regulates blood sugar levels as part of metabolic homeostasis. Blood sugar levels fluctuate throughout the day, and are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day, and rise for an hour or two after meals.[000643] Glucose is the primary source of sugar in the blood and is the primary source of energy for the body's cells. The hormone insulin, which is produced in the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, allows cells of the body to take up glucose from the blood and store it as glycogen.[000644] Many clinical methods exist for assaying blood sugar levels, including but not limited to, fasting blood sugar test, urine glucose test, two-hour postprandial blood sugar test, oral glucose tolerance test, intravenous glucose tolerance test, glycosylated hemoglobin test, self-monitoring of glucose levels via patient testing, and / or random blood sugar testing. The fasting blood sugar / blood glucose test is the most common test for initial assessment of the presence or risk for developing diabetes. The test requires that an individual abstains from eating for at least 8 hours prior to the test. Typically, up to 100 mg / dL is considered normal for a fasting blood glucose test. Subjects with levels between 100 mg / dL and 125 mg / dL are typically considered to have impaired fasting glucose,or be pre-diabetic, and subjects with levels that are 126 mg / dL or greater are typically considered diabetic.[000645] Typical ly, a glucose tolerance test is used for measuring blood sugar levels. Impaired glucose tolerance is generally diagnosed if the blood glucose level measured during a glucose tolerance test is in the range of 140 mg / dL (7.84 mM) to 199 mg / dL (11.1 mM). Diabetes is generally diagnosed if the measured blood glucose level is 200 mg / dL (11.2 mM) or higher. But, as physiological status fluctuates continually, no single glucose tolerance test is definitive, and treatment for reducing of blood glucose levels need not be predicated solely on the results of such testing.[000646] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is a metabolic disease or disorder.[000647] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is diabetes.[000648] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is neuropathic diabetes.[000649] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is related to diabetes (e.g., caused by or associated with diabetes). In embodiments, a disease or disorder is diabetic peripheral neuropathy.[000650] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is abnormal glucose metabolism.[000651] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism.[000652] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is insulin resistance.[000653] In embodiments, a disease or disorder is obesity.Diabetes[000654] In embodiments, a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein can be used for treating or reducing risk of Diabetes. Diabetes is well known in the art (American Diabetes Association, "Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes— 2010", Diabetes Care, 33: S1-S61, 2010). Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or respond to insulin correctly. The inability to produce or respond to insulin correctly characteristic of diabetes results in elevated blood sugar levels.[000655] There are two major types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes affects the islets of Langerhans, destroying the body's ability to produce insulin. Type I diabetes represents 10% of all diabetes cases and affects as many as 1 million people in the United States. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorderresulting from the body's inability to produce enough insulin or properly use the insulin produced. Roughly 90% of all diabetic individuals in the United States suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Other, less common forms of diabetes include gestational diabetes, in which pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy, monogenic diabetes, which behaves similarly to Type 1 diabetes and is caused by a single gene mutation, congenital diabetes, which is due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, and steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids.[000656] In embodiments, a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein can be used for treating Diabetes. Diabetes can be associated with a wide range of conditions and complications affecting various organs throughout the body and can severely compromise quality of life and can even be fatal. Therefore, there is a need in the art for effective means of treating and preventing the development and progression of diabetes and associated complications.[000657] Elevated blood sugar levels are responsible for most of the symptoms associated with diabetes. Diabetes associated symptoms include, but are not limited to, polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst), polyphagia (increased hunger). A number of skin rashes which can occur in diabetes are collectively known as diabetic dermadromes. Long term complications of diabetes include damage to the blood vessels. Diabetes doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease. The main "macrovascular" diseases (related to atherosclerosis of larger arteries) are ischemic heart disease (angina and myocardial infarction), stroke and peripheral vascular disease. Diabetes also causes "microvascular" complications— damage to the small blood vessels. Diabetic nephropathy, the impact of diabetes on the kidneys, can lead to scarring changes in the kidney tissue, loss of small or progressively larger amounts of protein in the urine, and eventually chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis. Diabetic neuropathy is the impact of diabetes on the nervous system, most commonly causing numbness, tingling and pain in the feet and also increasing the risk of skin damage due to altered sensation. Together with vascular disease in the legs, neuropathy contributes to the risk of diabetes-related foot problems (such as diabetic foot ulcers) that can be difficult to treat and occasionally require amputation.[000658] In embodiments, a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein can be used for reducing risk of Diabetes. Risk factors associated with diabetes in general, and with the development of Type 2 diabetes in particular, include a family history of diabetes, belonging to certain ethnic or racial groups, a history of gestational diabetes, obesity, in particular, high levels of visceral or abdominal fat, a sedentary lifestyle, age, high blood pressure, schizophrenia, as well asaltered glucose metabolism, including impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or prediabetes. Therefore, there is a need in the art for effective means of treating and preventing the development and progression of risk factors associated with diabetes.[000659] Anti-diabetics traditionally used to treat Diabetes include insulin sensitizers including biguanides such as Metformin, Buformin and Phenformin, TZD's (PPAR) such as Pioglitazone, Rivoglitazone, Rosiglitazone and Troglitazone, dual PPAR agonists such as Aleglitazar, Muraglitazar and Tesaglitazar, or secretagogues including sulphonylureas such as Carbutamide, Chloropropamide, Gliclazide, Tolbutamide, Tolazamide, Glipizide, Glibenclamide, Glyburide, Gliquidone, Glyclopyramide and Glimepriride, Meglitinides / gl inides (K+) such as Nateglinide, Repaglinide and Mitiglinide, GLP-1 analogs such as Exenatide, Liraglutide and Al biglutide, DPP-4 inhibitors such as Alogliptin, Linagliptin, Saxagliptin, Sitagliptin and Vildagliptin, insulin analogs or special formulations such as (fast acting) Insulin lispro, Insulin aspart, Insulin glulisine, (long acting) Insulin glargine, Insulin detemir), inhalable insulin— Exubra and NPH insulin, and others including alpha-glucosidase inhibitors such as Acarbose, Miglitol and Voglibose, amylin analogues such as Pramlintide, SGLT2 inhibitors such as Dapagliflozin, Remogliflozin and Sergliflozin as well as miscellaneous ones including Benfluorex and Tolrestat.[000660] Insulin is the primary treatment for Type 1 diabetes and its use as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes is becoming more prevalent. Insulin is administered through a course of injections that need to be administered in a carefully scheduled fashion, often requiring daily or even multiple daily injections. Treatments requiring injections of insulin carry with them associated risks of hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Further, the success of such treatments is often compromised by lack of patient compliance, i.e., failure to follow the recommended treatment schedule. There is a need for courses of treatment that have improved ease of administration, increasing patient comfort as well as the likelihood of patient compliance.Marfan Syndrome[000661] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating a Marfan syndrome in a subject in need thereof.Muscular Dystrophy[000662] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating a muscular dystrophy in a subject in need thereof.Radiation Sickness[000663] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating a radiation sickness in a subject in need thereof.Renal Diseases and Disorders[000664] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating a renal diseases and disorders in a subject in need thereof.[000665] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is renal dysfunction.[000666] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is acute kidney injury.[000667] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is chronic kidney disease.[000668] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is glomerulonephritis.[000669] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is glomerular sclerosis.[000670] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is renal insufficiency.[000671] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is nephropathies. In embodiments, a disease or disorder is kidney failure.[000672] In embodiments, a renal disease or disorder is kidney (renal) fibrosis.Sarcopenia[000673] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating a sarcopenia in a subject in need thereof.Stroke[000674] In embodiments, compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be used to treating a stroke in a subject in need thereof.[000675] In embodiments, a stroke is an ischemic stroke.[000676] In embodiments, a stroke is hemorrhagic stroke.[000677] The brain is highly vulnerable to a disturbance in its oxygen supply. Anoxia and ischemia lasting only a few seconds can cause symptoms and if the condition persists for minutes, they can cause irreversible neuronal damage. Accordingly, stroke is a prominent cause of serious, long-term disability and a leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke is also a significant burden on themedical industry, with total health costs for disability due to stroke being estimated at approximately $53 billion annually.[000678] There are two types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke involves an obstruction in one or more blood vessels that supply blood to brain tissue, for example, occlusion resulting from atherosclerotic thrombi, or embolism. Ischemic stroke (cerebral ischemia) represents approximately 88% of all strokes, making ischemic stroke one of the most common types of cerebrovascular injury. Ischemic conditions in the brain quickly lead to neuronal death, often leading to permanent sensorimotor deficits. A hemorrhagic stroke is defined herein as the accumulation of blood anywhere within the cranial vault. Hemorrhagic strokes may result from many causes, including injury resulting from an expanding hematoma, which can disrupt or distort tissue.[000679] A stroke may cause a wide variety of symptoms and / or complications. Without wishing to be held to a particular theory, it is thought that the specific signs, symptoms and / or complications, as well as their severity and duration, may be determined by where the stroke occurs in a brain as well as how severe it is. Because the brain controls or modulates nearly every system in the body, the range of potential signs, symptoms and / or complications is vast. In some embodiments, the signs, symptoms, and / or complications arising from a stroke include one or more of neurological impairment, cognitive impairment, language impairment, emotional impairment (e.g., depression, anxiety), and motor impairment. According to various embodiments, exemplary, non-limiting signs, symptoms and / or complications of stroke include, but are not limited to: paralysis, memory loss, pain, seizure, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), aphasia (loss of speech or language ability), dysarthria (difficulty articulating words), ataxia (lack of coordinated movements), depression, mood swings, and loss of vision. In some embodiments, paralysis is partial (e.g., limited to one muscle group, area of the body, and / or side of the body). In some embodiments, paralysis is substantially complete (e.g., affecting both sides of the body and most or all voluntary muscles below the neck). Those of skill in the art will be able to readily identify several additional signs, symptoms and / or complications of stroke, the treatment of each of which is contemplated as within the scope of the present invention.[000680] While it can be difficult to accurately catalog every sign, symptom or complication in order to determine an accurate clinical picture of a stroke sufferer, several impairment and rating scales exist to aid medical personnel in determining the proper therapy(ies) for a patient as well as the effectiveness of therapy. Exemplary, non-limiting assessment / rating scales include, but are notlimited to: the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the Canadian Neurological Scale, the Middle Cerebral Artery Neurological Score, Guy's Prognostic Score, the American Heart Association's Stroke Outcome Classification (AHA SOC), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination (NCSE), the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Functional Assessment of Communication Skills for Adults, the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale, the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL), the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and the Barthel Index.

Various changes and modifications within the scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the examples.Example 1. Synthesis for Exemplary Compounds[000696] Compounds (l)-(36) can be prepared according to methods known in the art. Exemplary methods and characterization data are provided below.[000697] Compound (5) is synthesized according to the steps shown below.[000698] Step 1.[000699] A suspension of A (1.09 g), B (1.41 g) and potassium carbonate (4.15 g) in dimethylacetamide (DMA) was stirred at 80 °C for 72h. After the reaction was deemed completion, water was added to the reaction mixture. C (2.3 g) was collected from precipitation.[000700] Step 2.[000701] To a solution of C (230 mg) in acetonitrile was added D (154 mg) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for overnight. After the reaction was deemed completion, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and E (384 mg) was obtained.[000702] Step 3.ompoun ( )[000703] E (384 mg) was dissolved in MeOH. To the resulting solution, aqueous HCI was added, followed by a suspension of Pd / C (containing 40 mg Pd) in water. The resulting mixture underwent a gas exchange with argon by evacuation under reduced pressure and backfilling with argon. The gas exchange process was repeated for three times. The resulting mixture underwent an additional gas exchange with hydrogen (H2) by evacuation under reduced pressure and backfilling with hydrogen. The resulting suspension was stirred under H2 for overnight. The resulting mixture underwent a gas exchange with argon for three times and the suspension was filtered with a pad of celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by prep-HPLC, followed by treatment with NaOH. The resulting material was further lyophilized to dryness, giving a mixture of Compound (5) (100 mg) and its corresponding sodium salt (94 mg).[000704] The compounds (l)-(36) can also be synthesized through the below synthetic route.Step- 3NaOH / H2OM13(2)20, cis racemic disodium salt[000705] SM-1 is reduced to provide the SM-1A.

The cells were seeded at 600 cell per well in six-well plates. The compounds were stored in a DMA 10'2M stock solution, and later diluted with PBS to be used as treatment.[000727] Starting from the following day, cells were treated with a range of concentrations (1011M to IO-7M) of M13(2)9, M 13(2)12, M13(2)13, and M13(2)20 daily, and DMA 10'9M to W5M was used as control. Each condition was evaluated in triplicate. After 14 days of treatment, cells were washed once with PBS after medium removal, stained with 0.5% crystal violet for 10 minutes at room temperature, and washed with distilled water. Once the plates were dried, the colonies were quantified. Number of colonies per well are depicted in FIG. 8 and cell numbers are depicted in FIG. 9.Example 6. Tube Formation Studies[000728] This example studies compounds of the invention in tube formation assays, which can be used to evaluate the impact in angiogenesis as well as in other diseases.[000729] For the tube formation assay, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC cells) were thawed late afternoon without centrifugation, and seeded on a 75 cm2flask containing Endothelial Medium supplemented with 10% FBS. The next day, the medium was changed and 20mL of complete medium was added. The ECM gel aliquots were moved from -20°C to 4°C, and the 200 pL tips were placed at -20°C.[000730] The next day, day 3, the medium from the cells was changed into empty medium (Endothelial Medium 0% FBS) and incubated for 1 hour. During the incubation time, 100 pL of ECM gel was added to the corresponding well on the 96-well plate without making bubbles, and incubated at 37°C. The compounds were prepared in a range of concentrations (10-11M and 10-7M).[000731] After lh incubation, the cells were washed two times with PBS and 2mL of Trypsin was added. Once the cells were detached, the Trypsin was neutralized using complete medium and the cells were centrifuge at 1100g for 2min at 25°C. Count the cells to seed 25000 cells in 200 pL of medium.[000732] The cells were treated with M13, M13(2)9, M13(2)20, and Ang-(l-7) at a concentration of 10-11M and 10-7M; 200 pL of the treated cells were transferred onto the corresponding wells. After 4 hours, the cells were imaged placing the focus on the middle of the well. The results were analyzed using ImageJ. HUVEC cell tube formation assay is depicted in FIG. 10.Example 7. Ussing Chamber Studies[000733] This example studies compounds of the invention in Ussing Chamber studies, which can be used to evaluate, for example, epithelial barrier protection.[000734] Intestinal preparations were mounted in Ussing chambers (exposed area of 0.12 cm2) with 8 ml of Krebs solution (95% 02 / 5% CO2, 37°C) in the basolateral and luminal reservoirs. Tissues were voltage-clamped at 0 mV using an automatic voltage clamp (EVC 4000, World Precision Instruments, Sarasota, Florida), and the short-circuit current (Isc) required to maintain the potential at 0 mV was monitored as a reflection of the net active ion transport across the epithelium. To compromise the barrier function, 0.1 pg of PTX (Pertussis toxin) was used, and after 10 minutes, the compounds were added to the chambers in a 1011and 10'7M concentration as 10 minutes intervals, and EA (Endogenous agonist) was used as a control. The resistance was calculated using Ohms law. The experiments were carried out simultaneously in chambers connected to a PC equipped with DataTrax II software (WPI). The transepithelial electrical resistances from the Ussing chamber studies are depicted in FIGS. 11 and 12.[000735] The data show that the instantly claimed compounds can act via Mas / MrgD in view of the lack of response from double knockout mice whereas a response is observed with the AT2 specific agonist EA.EQUIVALENTS AND SCOPE[000736] Those skilled in the art will recognize or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific embodiments of the invention described herein.
