BACKGROUND
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic lung disease associated with mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane regulator channel (CFTR). A dysfunctional CFTR protein on the epithelial cell surface of lung tissue decreases the transport of chloride through the channel. Excessive airway inflammation, mucus build-up, and decreased mucociliary clearance are typically reported in patients with CF. Inflammation diminishes lung function and controlling inflammation slows lung deterioration. Airway epithelial cells play a role in the inflammatory signaling and have been reported to exhibit a number of dysfunctional signaling cascades that modulate inflammation. Ziady et al., report that interaction with CREB binding protein modulates the activities of Nrf2 and NF-κΒ in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells. See Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol, 2012, 302: L1221-L1231.
There is no cure for cyctic fibrosis and limited treatment options. A patient with cystic fibrosis typically takes antibiotics to prophylatically suppress infections; however, lung transplantation often becomes necessary over time. Ivacaftor is an FDA approved medication for CF patients with a G55 ID mutation in CFTR. See Jih & Hwang, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013, 110(11):4404-9. Only small percentage of patients have CF due to a G55 ID mutation. Thus, there is a need to identify additional therpies.
Lumacaftor is a medication being tested for CF patients that have a mutation resulting in a missing phenylalanine in position 508 of CFTR. Van Goor et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2011, 108(46): 18843 -8.
Glycolysis inhibition has been reported to for anticancer treatment. See Pelicano et al, Oncogene, 2006, 25, 4633-4646.
Bardon et al., report increased activity of four glycolytic enzymes in cultured fibroblasts from cystic fibrosis patients. Res. Commun. Chem. Pathol. Pharmacol, 1986, 51 :405-408 and Bardon, Acta Paediatr, Scand. Suppl, 1987, 332: 1-30.

As used herein, the terms "treat" and "treating" are not limited to the case where the subject (e.g., patient) is cured and the disease is eradicated. Rather, embodiments, of the present disclosure also contemplate treatment that merely reduces symptoms, and/or delays disease progression.
Metabolic shift towards glycolysis in CF cells contributes to inflammation
Inflammation is a hallmark of CF. Early in life, patients exhibit exaggerated inflammation in the lungs in response to infection. Over time, these responses become persistent and contribute to the lung destruction, pulmonary function deterioration, respiratory failure and death. It is unclear whether dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in itself results in aberrant cell signaling that gives rise to abnormal inflammatory responses, or whether some stimulus is required. However, most investigators observe increases in pro -inflammatory pathways and decreases in pathways that are anti -inflammatory, even in the absence of bacteria.
Controlling inflammation provides significant benefit to patients.
Shifts CF cells to an increase rate of glycolytic metabolism have been discovered in primary CF epithelia and neutrophils from CF patients' blood. Through genome wide transcription profiling of human blood neutrophils, compared to controls, CF neutrophils differentially express a host of transcripts involved in glucose metabolism. Independent proteomic and metabolomic studies in both primary airway epithelia and blood neutrophils demonstrate that loss of CFTR function alone promotes a switch to a glycolytic phenotype. These data suggest that a metabolic switch towards glycolysis is a primary defect of CF airway epithelia and neutrophils.
Glucose metabolism plays a key role in neutrophil priming and activation, and epithelial cells inflammatory signaling, and redox signaling, which are relevant to CF pathology. Glycolytic metabolism has been linked to dysregulated inflammatory responses in a number of diseases including cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
Experimental data disclosed herein shows an increase in the gene and protein expression of the enzymes of indicating that CFTR dysfunction increases glycolytic metabolism, which in turn accentuates pro-inflammatory signaling in neutrophils and epithelial cells.
Inhibition of glycolysis reduces IL6 and IL8 following stimulation with TNFa and IL-Ιβ in CF cells
To examine the impact of glucose metabolism on inflammatory signaling, the production of IL6 and IL8 by epithelial cell lines was measured in culture. Inhibition of glycolysis significantly reduces the levels of both IL6 (Fig. 3) and IL8 (Fig. 4) following
stimulation with TNFa and IL-Ιβ. These results support the notion that glycolysis is a target for anti- inflammatory therapy. Modifiers of glycolysis are viable therapeutic option in CF. Interestingly, inhibition of glycolysis with the inhibitors we used did not completely block the production of IL6 or IL8. Completely blocking the production of IL6 or IL8 may be undesirable in CF.
In certain embodiments, the disclsoure relates to treating or preventing diseases or conditions associated with epithelial airway inflammation comprising administering an effective amount of a glycolysis pathway inhibitor to a subject in need thereof.
In certain embodiments, diseases or conditions associated with epithelial airway inflammation include cystic fibrosis, asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atherosclerosis, or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

In certain embodiments, the glycolysis pathway inhibitor is arsenic, oxamate, sodium fluoride (NaF), Nal, glufosfamide, imatinib, or alternative salts thereof.
Glycolysis inhibition in hepatocytes
A significant decrease in cytokine production is observed with glycolysis inhibition in hepatocytes in culture. The effect of inhibiting glycolysis on inflammatory cytokine production by hepatocytes was tested. Inhibition of inflammation in HUH7 cells was observed (Figures 5 and 6). These data support indicate that the inhibition of glycolysis is efficient in significantly reducing inflammation in non-airway cells. Because inhibition of glycolysis in liver tissues is anti-inflammatory, glycolysis inhibition may be used to treat or prevent liver conditions or diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.
In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of treating or preventing a disease or condition associtated with liver inflammation comprising administering a glycolysis pathway inhibitor to a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the suject is diagnosed with hepatitis and/or cirrhosis.

In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a glycolic inhibitor and pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and/or a second agent.
Pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may be in the form of
pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as generally described below. Some preferred, but non- limiting examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable organic and/or inorganic acids are hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid and citric acid, as well as other pharmaceutically acceptable acids known per se (for which reference is made to the references referred to below).
When the compounds of the disclosure contain an acidic group as well as a basic group, the compounds of the disclosure may also form internal salts, and such compounds are within the scope of the disclosure. When a compound contains a hydrogen-donating heteroatom (e.g. NH), salts are contemplated to covers isomers formed by transfer of said hydrogen atom to a basic group or atom within the molecule.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds include the acid addition and base salts thereof. Suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids which form non-toxic salts. Examples include the acetate, adipate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate,
bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulphate/sulphate, borate, camsylate, citrate, cyclamate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride/chloride, hydrobromide/bromide, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulphate, naphthylate, 2- napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/dihydrogen phosphate, pyroglutamate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate and xinofoate salts.

For a review on suitable salts, see Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley- VCH, 2002), incorporated herein by reference.
The compounds described herein may be administered in the form of prodrugs. A prodrug can include a covalently bonded carrier which releases the active parent drug when administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs can be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compounds. Prodrugs include, for example, compounds wherein a hydroxyl group is bonded to any group that, when administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxyl group.
Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol functional groups in the compounds. Methods of structuring a compound as prodrugs can be found in the book of Testa and Mayer, Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug Metabolism, Wiley (2006). Typical prodrugs form the active metabolite by transformation of the prodrug by hydrolytic enzymes, the hydrolysis of amide, lactams, peptides, carboxylic acid esters, epoxides or the cleavage of esters of inorganic acids.
Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the present disclosure typically comprise an effective amount of a compound and a suitable pharmaceutical acceptable carrier. The preparations may be prepared in a manner known per se, which usually involves mixing the at least one compound according to the disclosure with the one or more
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and, if desired, in combination with other pharmaceutical active compounds, when necessary under aseptic conditions. Reference is again made to U.S. Pat.

EXAMPLES
Metabolic Dysfunction in CF Cells:
A genome -wide expression profile was performed on the main effector cell causing CF lung damage, the neutrophil, in order to identify potential mechanistic pathways causing acceleration in lung decline in CF. Peripheral blood neutrophils were studied from CF patients and from healthy controls aged 16 to 40 years. Peripheral blood was collected and neutrophils separated by Ficoll method and selected by CD 16+ magnetic microbeads. RNA was immediately extracted from the neutrophils and analysis was done
using the Illumina HT12 microarray platform. We studied 11 healthy controls and 26 CF patients.
The results showed that of the 48,000 probes in the Illumina platform, about 10,000 were expressed above background in neutrophils. When comparing CF to controls, there were several hundred genes that were differentially expressed at p < 0.01 and many of these were enriched for glucose and carbohydrate metabolism. Specifically CF neutrophils compared to controls had significantly increased expression of transcripts for the glycolysis pathway which is characteristic of a metabolic shift to a glycolytic phenotype. In addition, CF neutrophils differentially expressed to a greater degree than controls, two glucose transporters (GLUT1 and GLUT3).
This data indicate a previously undescribed abnormality in the metabolism of CF peripheral blood neutrophils. These metabolic manifestations appear to be related to CFTR dysfunction as evidenced by independent studies conducted in different cell types in two different labs. Using proteomics and metabolomics, a number of biochemical profiles of primary human tracheal airway epithelial (HTE) cells were found to be significantly increased upon pharmacological inhibition of CFTR function using the inhibitor CFTRini1172, and the most pronounced CF effect was increased glucose metabolism (Fig 1). The proteomic and metabolomic data indicate that CFTR inhibition results in the increased expression, as well as function, of proteins in the glycolytic pathway. Proteomic studies in human neutrophils also revealed the increased expression of glycolytic enzymes in CF versus non-CF. These data mirror data observed in CF neutrophils using gene array analyses (Table 1). The similarities in the regulation of glycolysis in CFTR inhibited primary airway epithelia and CF neutrophils (2 very different cell types) suggest that the metabolic shift toward a glycolytic phenotype is due to CFTR dysfunction and is a basic defect in CF cells. The data on a metabolic shift toward glycolysis in CF cells has now been generated in 2 CF cell types, using
transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses that have been confirmed by biochemical measures. The implication of this phenomenon is that CFTR dysfunction is linked to a metabolic abnormality (glycolytic shift), which in non-CF related studies has been extensively shown to affect redox status and inflammatory signaling.
The elevation of expression of glycolytic enzymes in CF cells is coupled to a significant increase in the levels of glycolysis intermediates, indicating that the rate of glycolysis may be significantly increased. Biochemical measurement of glucose in
tracheal epithelial airway cell lines revealed a decrease of -40% in the level of steady state glucose in CF cells (Fig. 2). These data further suggest that glucose metabolism is markedly elevated in CF epithelia. Materials and methods for studies on inhibition of cytokines in CF cells and hepatocytes Cell culture
Cells were maintained at 37°C, 5%C02. HUH 7.5 cells (ATCC) were grown in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal calf serum, 2 g/L glucose and without antibiotics. Transformed human tracheal cell lines pCEP (9/HTEo(-) AS) and pCEPR (9/HTEo(-) pCEP-R) were grown on collagen collated cultureware in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal calf serum, 4.5 g/L glucose and 50 μg/mL hygromycin. Primary human bronchial epithelial cell cultures derived from CF and healthy lungs were purchased from ChanTest Corporation, Cleveland, OH and were maintained at an air-liquid interface with basolateral medium containing 1 :1 DMEM:Ham's F12, 1% v/v Ultroser G (Pall Corporation, Port Washington, NY), 100 U/mL penicillin, lOOug/mL streptomycin, 50 μg/mL gentamicin, 250ng/mL amphotericin B and 200 μg/mL fluconazole.
Cellular glucose determinations
Cell lines were passaged into regular culture medium or culture medium containing 1 g/L glucose and grown to 75%> confluence. Cells were treated with trypsin and the trypsin was neutralized by addition of culture medium. The cells were collected, centrifuged and washed 3 times with ice cold PBS. Cells were resuspended in 60 mM NaF and lysed by repeated freeze thaw cycles followed by sonication at 4 watts for 10 sec on ice. Lysates were assayed for glucose and protein.
Glycolysis inhibitors and cytokine/chemokine release
Cells at 75% confluence were preincubated for 1 hr in culture medium containing either 5 μΜ 6-aminonicotinamide, 100 μΜ arsenic, 2g/L 6-deoxyglucose+2 g/L glucose, 9 mM sodium oxomate or 5 mM NaF before addition of 10 ng/niL TNFa + lOng/mL ILip.
Culture medium was collected after 24hr, quenched on ice and protease inhibitor cocktail added to yield 10μg/ml leupeptin, 5 μg/mL aprotinin and 4 μg/mL pepstatin. Collected medium samples were centrifuged at 18kxg for lOmin at 4° and the debris free
supernatants were immediately frozen at -20°. After collection of medium, attached cells were lysed in Reporter Lysis Buffer (Promega) and the lysates were sonicated at 4 watts
for 10 sec on ice. The lysates were centrifuged and the debris free supernatants were stored as above. Medium samples were assayed for IL6 and IL8 and cell lysates were assayed for protein. Glucose, cytokine, chemokine and protein assays
Cell lysate glucose concentrations were measured using an Amplex Red glucose assay according to the manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen). Fluorescence was measured and concentrations calculated using a Molecular Dynamics M2 spectrophotometer and SoftMax Pro software. Diluted aliquots of medium supernatants were assayed in duplicate for IL6 and IL8 using ELISA kits according to manufacturer's protocols (eBioscience, BMS213/2MST and BMS204/3MST). Assay plates were read with a BioTek Synergy II reader and concentrations were calculated using 4 parameter curve fitting. The data were normalized to protein content. Protein was measured directly using a BCA protein assay (Thermo Scientific) or after acetone precipitation using a RC DC Protein assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories).
