Improved agents for increasing the number of HSCs available for harvesting may be desirable. Such HSCs may be useful for engraftment. [0006] When a tissue is infected or damaged, the inflammatory process directs leukocytes and other immune system components to the site of infection or injury. Within this process, leukocytes play an important role in the engulfment and digestion of microorganisms. The recruitment of leukocytes to infected or damaged tissue is critical for mounting an effective immune defense. [0007] Selectins are a group of structurally similar cell surface receptors important for mediating leukocyte binding to endothelial cells. These proteins are type 1 membrane proteins and are composed of an amino terminal lectin domain, an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain, a variable number of complement receptor related repeats, a hydrophobic domain spanning region and a cytoplasmic domain. The binding interactions appear to be mediated by contact of the lectin domain of the selectins and various carbohydrate ligands. [0008] There are three known selectins: E-selectin, P-selectin, and L-selectin. E-selectin is found on the surface of activated endothelial cells, which line the interior wall of capillaries. E-selectin binds to the carbohydrate sialyl-Lewis ^x (sLe ^x ), which is presented as a glycoprotein or glycolipid on the surface of certain leukocytes (monocytes and neutrophils) and helps these cells adhere to capillary walls in areas where surrounding tissue is infected or damaged; and E-selectin also binds to sialyl-Lewis ^a (sLe ^a ), which is expressed on many tumor cells. P-selectin is expressed on inflamed endothelium and platelets, and also recognizes sLe ^x and sLe ^a , but also contains a second site that interacts with sulfated tyrosine. The expression of E-selectin and P-selectin is generally increased when the tissue adjacent to a capillary is infected or damaged. L-selectin is expressed on leukocytes. Selectin-mediated intercellular adhesion is an example of a selectin-mediated function. [0009] Although selectin-mediated cell adhesion is required for fighting infection and destroying foreign material, there are situations in which such cell adhesion is undesirable or excessive, resulting in tissue damage instead of repair. For example, many pathologies (such as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, shock and reperfusion injuries) involve abnormal adhesion of white blood cells. Such abnormal cell adhesion may also play a role in transplant and graft rejection. In addition, some circulating cancer cells appear to take advantage of the inflammatory mechanism to bind to activated endothelium and metastasize. In such circumstances, modulation of selectin-mediated intercellular adhesion may be desirable. [0010] E–selectin inhibitors are known in the art. Some E–selectin inhibitors are specific for E–selectin only. Other E–selectin inhibitors have the ability to inhibit not only E–selectin but additionally P–selectin or L–selectin or both P–selectin and L–selectin. Examples of E– selectin inhibitors (specific for E–selectin or otherwise) are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,060,685; U.S. Application Publication No. US–2007–0054870; U.S. Application

Publication No. US–2008–0161546; and references cited in any of these patents or published applications. Those examples are small organic molecules. Other known E–selectin inhibitors are amino acid–based, such as antibodies. For example, the humanized monoclonal antibody CDP850 is an E–selectin inhibitor. [0011] Galectins are proteins with a characteristic carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) (Barondes, S. H., Cooper, D. N. W., Gitt, M. A., and Leffler, H. (1994). Galectins. Structure and function of a large family of animal lectins. J. Biol. Chem.269:20807-20810; Leffler, H., Carlsson, S., Hedlund, M., Qian, Y. and Poirier, F. (2004) Introduction to galectins. Glycoconj. J. 19: 433-440). Galectin subunits can contain either one or two CRDs within a single peptide chain. The mono-CRDs galectins can occur as monomers or dimers in verterates. Galectin-3 is a monomer in solution but may aggregate and become multimeric upon encounter with ligands. Galectins are synthesized as cytosolic proteins. Evidence suggests roles for galectins in inflammation, fibrosis, cancer, and other disorders (see, e.g., US Patent No. 7,638,623). [0012] A pro-inflammatory role of galectin-3 is indicated by its induction in cells at inflammatory sites, effects on immune cells, and decrease of the inflammatory response shown in animal models. Inflammation is a protective response of the body to invading organisms and tissue injury. However, if unbalanced, frequently it is also destructive and occurs as part of the pathology in many diseases. Because of this, there is great medical interest in pharmacological modulation of galectin-3 mediated inflammation. [0013] Immunohistochemical studies show changed expression of certain galectins in cancer. Direct evidence for a role of galectin-3 in cancer comes from mouse models. In paired tumor cell lines (with decreased or increased expression of galectin-3), the induction of galectin-3 gives more tumors and metastasis and suppression of galectin-3 gives less tumors and metastasis. Galectin-3 has been proposed to enhance tumor growth by being anti- apoptotic, promote angiogenesis, or to promote metastasis by affecting cell adhesion. [0014] Both natural and synthetic modulators of galectin-3 have been identified.

However, natural compounds that have been identified as galectin-3 ligands are not suitable for use as active components in pharmaceutical compositions, because they have been reported to have low activity and specificity for galectins and galectin-3. As natural products they are difficult to produce as well-characterized drugs and are susceptible to acidic hydrolysis in the stomach and to enzymatic degradation. In addition, previously identified natural galectin-3 modulators are large and hydrophilic in nature, and are not readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration. [0015] CXCR4 is a G-protein-coupled receptor that is expressed by both mononuclear and progenitor cells in the bone marrow. The ligand for CXCR4, stromal derived factor–1 (SDF–1), is a secreted or membrane-bound protein that is abundantly expressed in the osteoblast and vascular niches. SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling induces the directional migration of cells and is involved in a large number of physiological processes including inflammation, cancer, stem cell migration, HIV, and cell migration. (Cheng et al., Prog. Mol Biol Transl Sci., 111:243-264, 2012.) [0016] CXCR4 chemokine receptor inhibitors are known in the art. Such inhibitors will typically prevent the binding of SDF–1 to a CXCR4 receptor. Examples of CXCR4 chemokine receptor inhibitors are AMD–3100 (Hendrix et al., Antimicrob. Agents

Chemother.44:1667–1673, 2000); ALX40–4C (Doranz et al., AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses 17:475–486, 2001); and T134 (Arakaki et al., J. Virol. 73:1719–1723, 1999). These examples include a small organic molecule and amino acid–based molecules, such as the T22 peptide. AMD–3100 is a bicyclam. Each of the two cyclam rings is attached to the same phenyl ring (each cyclam ring is para to the other) via a methylene group. [0017] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for inhibitors of E-selectin, galectin-3, or CXCR4 chemokine receptor activity, or combinations thereof, and for the development of methods employing such compounds.

In some embodiments, the endothelial cell is present in the bone marrow. [00367] In some embodiment, a method for treating and/or preventing a cancer is disclosed, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) may be administered in conjunction with (i.e., as an adjunct therapy, which is also called adjunctive therapy) chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. [00368] The chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy may be referred to as the primary anti- tumor or anti-cancer therapy that is being administered to the subject to treat the particular cancer. In some embodiments, a method for reducing (i.e., inhibiting, diminishing) chemosensitivity and/or radiosensitivity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to the chemotherapeutic drug(s) and/or radiotherapy, respectively, is disclosed, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00369] In some embodiments, a method for enhancing (i.e., promoting) survival of hematopoietic stem cells is provided, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00370] In some embodiments, a method for decreasing the likelihood of occurrence of metastasis of cancer cells (also called tumor cells herein) in a subject who is in need thereof is disclosed, the method comprising administering an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00371] In some embodiments, a method for treatment and/or prevention of at least one cancer in which the cancer cells may leave the primary site is disclosed, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). A primary site may be, for example, solid tissue (e.g., breast or prostate) or the bloodstream. [00372] In addition to breast cancer, prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer, other examples of infiltrating diseases include lung cancer and melanoma, as well as the hematological malignancies (e.g., leukemias and myelomas). As used herein, the term “treatment” (including variations such as“treating”) includes for the disease or a complication associated with the disease. For example, a complication associated with the cancer may not have presented itself in an individual with the disease, and a compound may be administered to prevent presentation of the complication in the individual. Complications associated with a cancer in which the cancer cells may leave the primary site include, for example, metastasis and infiltration of cancer cells to other tissues. For example, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM) cells migrate to the endosteal region of the bone marrow where the cells become quiescent and are protected from chemotherapy–induced apoptosis. Administration of a compound described herein may prevent adhesion or migration of cancer cells. Such prevention can result in making the cancer cells more susceptible to treatment with chemotherapy. Administration of a compound described herein in the context of prevention may be to an individual who is at risk of occurrence of a cancer for the first time, or for recurrence of a cancer. For example, while a brain cancer such as glioblastoma multiforme is typically treated with another type of therapy (such as radiation or chemotherapy) for the first occurrence, such therapy is usually not effective to prevent recurrence. [00373] In some embodiments, a method for treatment and/or prevention of at least one cancer in which it is desirable to mobilize cancer cells from a site into the bloodstream and/or retain the cancer cells in the bloodstream is disclosed, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00374] One use of the method is, for example, for stem cell harvesting. Stem cells may be needed, for example, after high–dose chemotherapy treatment. Many chemotherapies suppress bone marrow which disrupts the production of certain components of blood in an individual. As a result, the individual may develop a variety of blood cell related disorders and continuation of chemotherapy may be compromised. A compound described herein may be used, for example, to release stem cells into circulating blood and enhance retention of the stem cells in the blood. The method may include a further step of collecting cells that are released. For example, released stem cells may be collected. A variety of techniques are known in the art for collecting cells. For example, apheresis may be utilized. An example of a stem cells is a bone marrow progenitor cell. The release of such cells from bone marrow into circulating blood and retention therein has a variety of uses. For example, the mobilized bone marrow progenitor cells may be collected from the blood. A use of such collected cells is to obtain healthy bone marrow progenitor cells from an individual prior to treatment of the individual in a manner such that bone marrow is suppressed. Following treatment, the individual can receive a bone marrow transplantation utilizing the bone marrow progenitor cells collected prior to treatment. This is useful, for example, where an individual needs to be subjected to a chemotherapy protocol that will suppress bone marrow. [00375] It can be desirable to additionally treat an individual with at least one (i.e., one or more) colony stimulating factor. Such a factor may be administered, for example, before or simultaneous with administration of at least one of the above–described compounds. Where administration is simultaneous, the combination may be administered from a single container or two (or more) separate containers. An example of a suitable colony stimulating factor is granulocyte–colony stimulating factor (G–CSF). G–CSF induces the bone marrow to grow and produce more stem cells. A compound described herein aids in releasing stem cells into circulating blood. Stem cells produced in bone marrow and released into circulating blood, as a result of the combination of the administration (separately or together) of a compound described herein and G–CSF, may be collected as described above. Such collected stem cells may be, for example, administered to the individual after chemotherapy. The stem cells return to the bone marrow and produce blood cells. Application of a compound described herein to mobilization and harvesting of healthy bone marrow progenitor cells from bone marrow treated with G–CSF provides cells useful, for example, for bone marrow

transplantation. [00376] In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a

pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) may be used in methods described herein for treatment and/or prevention of tumor metastasis. In some embodiments, the tumor metastasis arises from pancreatic cancer. In some emobidments, the tumor metastasis arises from prostate cancer. In some embodiments, the tumor metastasis arises from pancreatic cancer. In some embodiments, the tumor metastasis arises from breast cancer. In some embodiments, at least one additional chemotherapy agent such as gemcitabine is administered to the individual. [00377] In some embodiments, a method for decreasing the likelihood of occurrence of infiltration of cancer cells into bone marrow is disclosed, the method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00378] In some embodiments, a method for releasing cells into circulating blood and enhancing retention of the cells in the blood is disclosed, the method comprising

[00424] Biological activity of a compound described herein may be determined, for example, by performing at least one in vitro and/or in vivo study routinely practiced in the art and described herein or in the art. In vitro assays include without limitation binding assays, immunoassays, competitive binding assays, and cell based activity assays. [00425] An inhibition assay may be used to screen for antagonists of E-selectin. For example, an assay may be performed to characterize the capability of a compound described herein to inhibit (i.e., reduce, block, decrease, or prevent in a statistically or biologically significant manner) interaction of E-selectin with sLe ^a or sLe ^x . The inhibition assay may be a competitive binding assay, which allows the determination of IC ₅₀ values. By way of example, E-selectin/Ig chimera may be immobilized onto a matrix (e.g., a multi-well plate, which may be made from a polymer, such as polystyrene; a test tube, and the like); a composition may be added to reduce nonspecific binding (e.g., a composition comprising non-fat dried milk or bovine serum albumin or other blocking buffer routinely used by a person skilled in the art); the immobilized E-selectin may be contacted with the candidate compound in the presence of sLe ^a comprising a reporter group under conditions and for a time sufficient to permit sLe ^a to bind to the immobilized E-selectin; the immobilized E- selectin may be washed; and the amount of sLe ^a bound to immobilized E-selectin may be detected. Variations of such steps can be readily and routinely accomplished by a person of ordinary skill in the art. [00426] An inhibition assay may be used to screen for antagonists of galectin-3. For example, an assay may be performed to characterize the capability of a compound described herein to inhibit interaction of galectin-^^ZLWK^D^*DOȕ^-3GlcNAc carbohydrate structure. The inhibition assay may be a competitive binding assay, which allows the determination of IC ₅₀ values. By way of example, a Galȕ1-3GlcNAc polymer may be immobilized onto a matrix; a composition may be added to reduce nonspecific binding; the immobilized Galȕ1-3GlcNAc polymer may be contacted with the candidate compound in the presence of galectin-3 group under conditions and for a time sufficient to permit galectin-3 to bind to the immobilized Galȕ1-3GlcNAc polymer; the immobilized Galȕ1-3GlcNAc polymer may be washed; and the amount of galectin-3 bound to the immobilized Galȕ1-3GlcNAc polymer may be detected. Variations of such steps can be readily and routinely accomplished by a person of ordinary skill in the art. [00427] An inhibition assay may be used to screen for antagonism of CXCR4 mediated chemotaxis. For example, an assay may be performed to measure the ability of a glycomimetic CXCR4 antagonist to inhibit migration of CCRF-CEM cells, which express CXCR4 on their cell surfaces, across a membrane toward the CXCR4 ligand CXCL12 (SDF-1α). By way of example, CCRF-CEM cells are human T lymphoblasts that express CXCR4 on the cell surface. The cells may be labeled with 3 uM Calcein AM to enable detection by fluorescence. The cells may be treated with a CXCR4 antagonist and placed into the upper chamber of a transwell insert. The transwells may be placed into the wells of a 24-well plate with each well containing 600 ul of RPMI 1640 plus 2% FBS and 50 ng/mL CXCL12*SDFa). The cells may be allowed to migrate across the membrane from the upper chamber into the lower chamber for 3 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2. The transwell inserts may be removed from the 24-well plate and the fluorescence in the lower chambers measured using a Molecular Devices FlexStation 3 with an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 538 nm. [00428] Alternatively, an assay may be used to measure the ability of a glycomimetic CXCR4 antagonist to inhibit the binding of CXCL12 (SDF-1Į) to CHO cells that have been genetically engineered to express CXCR4 on the cell surface. One skilled in the art may activate CXCR4 by ligand binding (CXCL12), causing Gi to dissociate from the CXCR4 complex. The activated CXCR4 may bind to adenylyl cyclase, thus inactivating it, resulting in decreased levels of intracellular cAMP. Intracellular cAMP is usually low, so the decrease of the low level of cAMP by a Gi-coupled receptor will be hard to detect. Forskolin is added to the CHO cells to directly activate adenylyl cyclase (bypassing all GPCRs), thus raising the level of cAMP in the cell, so that a Gi response can be easily observed. CXCL12 interaction with CXCR4 decreases the intracellular level of cAMP and inhibition of CXCL12 interaction with CXCR4 by a CXCR4 antagonist increases the intracellular cAMP level, which is measured by luminescence. [00429] Alternatively, one skilled in the art may use an assay to measure the ability of a glycomimetic CXCR4 antagonist to block the binding of an anti-CXCR4 antibody to Jurkat cells, which express CXCR4 on the cell surface. Jurkat cells may be treated with a CXCR4 antagonist followed by a phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-CXCR4 antibody. The antibody may be allowed to bind to the cells for 1 hour at 4°C. The cells may be washed and the binding of the anti-CXCR4-PE antibody to the cells may be assessed by flow cytometry. [00430] Conditions for a particular assay include temperature, buffers (including salts, cations, media), and other components that maintain the integrity of any cell used in the assay and the compound, which a person of ordinary skill in the art will be familiar and/or which can be readily determined. A person of ordinary skill in the art also readily appreciates that appropriate controls can be designed and included when performing the in vitro methods and in vivo methods described herein. [00431] The source of a compound that is characterized by at least one assay and techniques described herein and in the art may be a biological sample that is obtained from a subject who has been treated with the compound. The cells that may be used in the assay may also be provided in a biological sample. A“biological sample” may include a sample from a subject, and may be a blood sample (from which serum or plasma may be prepared), a biopsy specimen, one or more body fluids (e.g., lung lavage, ascites, mucosal washings, synovial fluid, urine), bone marrow, lymph nodes, tissue explant, organ culture, or any other tissue or cell preparation from the subject or a biological source. A biological sample may further include a tissue or cell preparation in which the morphological integrity or physical state has been disrupted, for example, by dissection, dissociation, solubilization,

fractionation, homogenization, biochemical or chemical extraction, pulverization, lyophilization, sonication, or any other means for processing a sample derived from a subject or biological source. In some embodiments, the subject or biological source may be a human or non-human animal, a primary cell culture (e.g., immune cells), or culture adapted cell line, including but not limited to, genetically engineered cell lines that may contain

chromosomally integrated or episomal recombinant nucleic acid sequences, immortalized or immortalizable cell lines, somatic cell hybrid cell lines, differentiated or differentiatable cell lines, transformed cell lines, and the like. [00432] As described herein, methods for characterizing E-selectin, galectin-3, and/or CXCR4 chemokine receptor antagonists include animal model studies. Non-limiting examples of animal models for liquid cancers used in the art include multiple myeloma (see, e.g., DeWeerdt, Nature 480:S38–S39 (15 December 2011) doi:10.1038/480S38a; Published online 14 December 2011; Mitsiades et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 200915:1210021 (2009)); acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (Zuber et al., Genes Dev. 2009 April 1; 23(7): 877–889). Animal models for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been used by persons of ordinary skill in the art for more than two decades. Numerous exemplary animal models for solid tumor cancers are routinely used and are well known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. [00433] The compounds of the present disclosure and the pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one of such compounds may be useful in methods for treating and/or preventing a disease or disorder that is treatable by inhibiting at least one activity of E- selectin, galectin-3, and CXCR4 chemokine receptors, or any combination thereof (and/or inhibiting binding of E-selectin, galectin-3, and CXCR4 chemokine receptors to ligand(s), which in turn inhibits a biological activity). [00434] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful in methods for treating and/or preventing at least one inflammatory disease. Inflammation comprises reaction of vascularized living tissue to injury. By way of example, although E-selectin, galectin-3, and CXCR4 chemokine receptors mediated cell adhesion may be important to the body’s anti- infective immune response, in other circumstances, E-selectin, galectin-3, and CXCR4 chemokine receptors mediated cell adhesion may be undesirable or excessive, resulting in tissue damage and/or scarring instead of repair. For example, many pathologies (such as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, shock and reperfusion injuries) involve abnormal adhesion of white blood cells. Therefore, inflammation affects blood vessels and adjacent tissues in response to an injury or abnormal stimulation by a physical, chemical, or biological agent. Examples of inflammatory diseases, disorders, or conditions include, without limitation, dermatitis, chronic eczema, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, graft versus host disease, sepsis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, Sjogren’s syndrome, progressive systemic sclerosis, scleroderma, acute coronary syndrome, ischemic reperfusion, Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, endometriosis, glomerulonephritis, myasthenia gravis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, allergic reaction, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or other acute leukocyte-mediated lung injury, vasculitis, or inflammatory autoimmune myositis. Other diseases and disorders for which the compounds described herein may be useful for treating and/or preventing include hyperactive coronary circulation, microbial infection, cancer metastasis, thrombosis, wounds, burns, spinal cord damage, digestive tract mucous membrane disorders (e.g., gastritis, ulcers), osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, septic shock, traumatic shock, stroke, nephritis, atopic dermatitis, frostbite injury, adult dyspnoea syndrome, ulcerative colitis, diabetes and reperfusion injury following ischemic episodes, prevention of restenosis associated with vascular stenting, and for undesirable angiogenesis, for example, angiogenesis associated with tumor growth. [00435] As discussed in detail herein, a disease or disorder to be treated or prevented is a cancer and related metastasis and includes cancers that comprise solid tumor(s) and cancers that comprise liquid tumor(s). The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful in methods for preventing and/or treating cancer. In some embodiments, the at least one compound may be used for treating and/or preventing metastasis and/or for inhibiting (slowing, retarding, or preventing) metastasis of cancer cells. [00436] In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a

pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) is administered to a cancer patient in remission. In some embodiments, the at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) is administered as a cancer vaccine to stimulate marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (“MILs”) in a cancer patient or cancer survivor to prevent relapse. [00437] In some embodiments, a method of treating cancer and/or preventing a cancer relapse is disclosed, wherein the method comprises administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I), wherein the amount of compound of Formula (I) administered is sufficient to mobilize MILs of the patient into the peripheral blood. [00438] In some embodiments, a method of treating cancer and/or preventing a cancer relapse is provided comprising administering to a donor patient at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) in an amount of sufficient to mobilize MILs of the patient out of the marrow (e.g., into the peripheral blood), recovering MILS (e.g., recovering them from the peripheral blood), and transplanting at least a portion of the MIL cell population to the donor patient or another patient. In some embodiments, the MIL cell population is expanded ex vivo before transplantation. [00439] In some embodiments, a method of preventing cancer is provided comprising administering to a donor patient at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a

pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) in an amount sufficient to mobilize MILs of the patient out of the bone marrow (e.g., into the peripheral blood), recovering MILs (e.g., recovering them from the peripheral blood), and transplanting at least a portion of MIL cell population to a subject (e.g., a non-cancer patient, a patient suffering from a different form or type of cancer than the donor patient, etc.). In some embodiments, the MIL cell population is expanded ex vivo before transplantation. [00440] In some embodiments, the compounds of present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be used for decreasing (i.e., reducing) the likelihood of occurrence of metastasis of cancer cells in an individual (i.e., subject, patient) who is in need thereof. The compounds of the present disclosure and compositions comprising at least one such compound may be used for decreasing (i.e., reducing) the likelihood of occurrence of infiltration of cancer cells into bone marrow in an individual who is in need thereof. The individuals (or subjects) in need of such treatments include subjects who have been diagnosed with a cancer, which includes cancers that comprise solid tumor(s) and cancers that comprise liquid tumor(s). [00441] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be administered as an adjunct therapy to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, which is/are being delivered to the subject as primary therapy for treating the cancer. The chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy that may be administered depend upon several factors including the type of cancer, location of the tumor(s), stage of the cancer, age and gender and general health status of the subject. A person of ordinary skill in the medical art can readily determine the appropriate

chemotherapy regimen and/or radiotherapy regimen for the subject in need. The person of ordinary skill in the medical art can also determine, with the aid of preclinical and clinical studies, when the compound of the present disclosure or pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one such compound should be administered to the subject, that is whether the compound or composition is administered prior to, concurrent with, or subsequent to a cycle of the primary chemotherapy or radiation treatment. [00442] Also provided herein is a method for inhibiting adhesion of a tumor cell that expresses a ligand of E-selectin to an endothelial cell expressing E-selectin on its cell surface, which method comprises contacting the endothelial cell with at least one compound of the present disclosure or pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound, thereby permitting the compound to interact with E-selectin on the endothelial cell surface and inhibiting binding of the tumor cell to the endothelial cell. Without wishing to be bound by theory, inhibiting adhesion of tumor cells to endothelial cells may reduce in a significant manner, the capability of the tumor cells to extravasate into other organs, blood vessels, lymph, or bone marrow and thereby reduce, decrease, or inhibit, or slow the progression of the cancer, including reducing, decreasing, inhibiting, or slowing metastasis. [00443] In some embodiments, a method for inhibiting activation of hepatic and/or pancreatic stellate cells is disclosed, the method comprising administering at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00444] In some embodiments, a method for inhibiting adhesion of metastasized tumor cells is disclosed, the method comprising administering at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00445] In some embodiments, a method for inhibiting cell-cell interactions and/or interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix where the cell-cell interactions and cell-matrix are induced by galectin-3 molecules bound carbohydrates found on the surface of cells is disclosed, the method comprising administering at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, the cells are tumor cells and cell-cell interactions and/or cell-matrix are responsible for the development of at least one tumor desease. [00446] In some embodiments, a method for reducing the rate of growth of tumor cells which express galectin-3 is disclosed, the method comprising administering at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, the level of at least one G1/S cyclin in the tumor cell is reduced. [00447] As described herein, at least one of the compounds of the present disclosure or pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be administered in combination with at least one additional anti-cancer agent. Chemotherapy may comprise one or more chemotherapeutic agents. For example, chemotherapy agents, radiotherapeutic agents, inhibitors of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K), and inhibitors of VEGF may be used in combination with a compound of Formula (I) described herein. Non-limiting examples of inhibitors of PI3K include the compound named by Exelixis as“XL499.” Non-limiting examples of VEGF inhibitors include the compound called“cabo” (previously known as XL184). Many other chemotherapeutics are small organic molecules. As understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art, chemotherapy may also refer to a combination of two or more chemotherapeutic molecules that are administered coordinately and which may be referred to as combination chemotherapy. Numerous chemotherapeutic drugs are used in the oncology art and include, for example, alkylating agents; antimetabolites; anthracyclines, plant alkaloids; and topoisomerase inhibitors. [00448] The compounds of the present disclosure or pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may function independently from the anti-cancer agent or may function in coordination with the anti-cancer agent, e.g., by enhancing effectiveness of the anti-cancer agent or vice versa. Accordingly, provided herein are methods for enhancing (i.e., enhancing, promoting, improving the likelihood of, enhancing in a statistically or biologically significant manner) and/or maintaining survival of

hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in a subject who is treated with and/or will be treated with a chemotherapeutic drug(s) and/or radioactive therapy, respectively, comprising administering at least one compound of Formula (I) as described herein. In some embodiments, the subject receives and/or will receive both chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Also, provided herein is a method for reducing (i.e., reducing, inhibiting, diminishing in a statistically or biologically significant manner) chemosensitivity and/or radiosensitivity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to the chemotherapeutic drug(s) and/or radioactive therapy, respectively, in a subject. Because repeated cycles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy often diminish the ability of HSCs to recover and replenish bone marrow, the glycomimetic compounds described herein may be useful for subjects who will receive more than one cycle, such as at least two, three, four or more cycles, of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. HSCs reside in the bone marrow and generate the cells that are needed to replenish the immune system and the blood. Anatomically, bone marrow comprises a vascular niche that is adjacent to bone endothelial sinuses (see, e.g., Kiel et al., Cell 121:1109-21 (2005); Sugiyama et al., Immunity 25:977-88 (2006); Mendez-Ferrer et al., Nature 466:829-34 (2010); Butler et al., Cell Stem Cell 6:251-64 (2010)). A recent study describes that E-selectin promotes HSC proliferation and is an important component of the vascular niche (see, e.g., Winkler et al., Nature Medicine published online 21 October 2012; doi:10.1038/nm.2969). Deletion or inhibition of E-selectin enhanced HSC survival in mice that were treated with chemotherapeutic agents or radiotherapy and accelerated blood neutrophil recovery (see, e.g., Winkler et al., supra). Additionally, galectin-3 has recently been reported to interfere with hematopoiesis and promote terminal differentiation of myeloid progenitors (see, e.g., Brand et al., Cell Tissue Res 346:427-37 (2011)). [00449] In addition, the administration of at least one compound of the present disclosure or pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one such compounds may be in conjunction with one or more other therapies, e.g., for reducing toxicities of therapy. For example, at least one palliative agent to counteract (at least in part) a side effect of a therapy (e.g., anti-cancer therapy) may be administered. Agents (chemical or biological) that promote recovery, or counteract side effects of administration of antibiotics or

corticosteroids, are examples of such palliative agents. At least one compound described herein may be administered before, after, or concurrently with administration of at least one additional anti-cancer agent or at least one palliative agent to reduce a side effect of therapy. When administration is concurrent, the combination may be administered from a single container or two (or more) separate containers. [00450] Cancer cells (also called herein tumor cells) that may be prevented (i.e., inhibited, slowed) from metastasizing, from adhering to an endothelial cell, or from infiltrating bone marrow include cells of solid tumors and liquid tumors (including hematological

malignancies). Examples of solid tumors are described herein and include colorectal cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Liquid tumors occur in the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes and include leukemia (e.g., AML, ALL, CLL, and CML), lymphoma (e.g., Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma), and myeloma (e.g., multiple myeloma). As used herein, the term cancer cells include mature, progenitor, and cancer stem cells. [00451] Bones are a common location for cancer to infiltrate once leaving the primary tumor location. Once cancer resides in bone, it is frequently a cause of pain to the individual. In addition, if the particular bone affected is a source for production of blood cells in the bone marrow, the individual may develop a variety of blood cell related disorders. Breast and prostate cancer are examples of solid tumors that migrate to bones. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM) are examples of liquid tumors that migrate to bones. Cancer cells that migrate to bone will typically migrate to the endosteal region of the bone marrow. Once cancer cells have infiltrated into the marrow, the cells become quiescent and are protected from chemotherapy. The compounds of the present disclosure may block infiltration of disseminated cancer cells into bone marrow. A variety of subjects may benefit from treatment with the compounds. Examples of such subjects include individuals with a cancer type having a propensity to migrate to bone where the tumor is still localized or the tumor is disseminated but not yet infiltrated bone, or where individuals with such a cancer type are in remission. [00452] The cancer patient population most likely to respond to treatment using antagonists of E-selectin, galectin-3, and CXCR4 chemokine receptors (e.g., compounds of Formula (I)) described herein can be identified based on the mechanisms of action of E- selectin. For example, patients may be selected that express a highly active E-selectin as determined by the genetic polymorphism for E-selectin of S128R (Alessandro et al., Int. J. Cancer 121:528-535, 2007). In addition, patients for treatment by the compounds described herein may also selected based on elevated expression of the E-selectin binding ligands (sialyl Le ^a and sialyl Le ^x ) as determined by antibodies directed against cancer-associated antigens CA-19-9 (Zheng et al., World J. Gastroenterol. 7:431-434, 2001) and CD65. In addition, antibodies HECA-452 and FH-6 which recognize similar carbohydrate ligands of E- selectin may also be used in a diagnostic assay to select the cancer patient population most likely to respond to this treatment. Likewise, pateints may be identified for treatment based on levels of galectin-3 detected in serum or plasma by a diagnostic assay such as the Abbott Laboratories ARCHITECT Galectin-3 assay, which can be used for determining galectin-3 in serum or plasma to stratify heart failure patients for proper treatment. [00453] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful in methods for mobilizing cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral vasculature and tissues. As discussed herein, in some embodiments, the compounds and compositions are useful for mobilizing hematopoietic cells, including hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells. In some embodiments, the compounds act as mobilizing agents of normal blood cell types. In some embodiments, the agents are used in methods for mobilizing mature white blood cells (which may also be called leukocytes herein), such as granulocytes (e.g., neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), lymphocytes, and monocytes from the bone marrow or other immune cell compartments such as the spleen and liver. Methods are also provided for using the compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound in methods for mobilizing tumor cells from the bone marrow. The tumor cells may be malignant cells (e.g., tumor cells that are metastatic cancer cells, or highly invasive tumor cells) in cancers. These tumor cells may be of hematopoietic origin or may be malignant cells of another origin residing in the bone. [00454] In some embodiments, the methods using the compounds described herein are useful for mobilizing hematopoietic cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells and leukocytes (including granulocytes such as neutrophils), which are collected (i.e., harvested, obtained) from the subject receiving a compound of Formula (I) and at a later time are administered back into the same subject (autologous donor) or administered to a different subject (allogeneic donor). Hematopoietic stem cell replacement and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have been successfully used for treating a number of diseases (including cancers) as described herein and in the art. By way of example, stem cell replacement therapy or transplantation follows myeloablation of a subject, such as occurs with

administration of high dose chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Desirably, an allogeneic donor shares sufficient HLA antigens with the recipient/subject to minimize the risk of host versus graft disease in the recipient (i.e., the subject receiving the hematopoietic stem cell transplant). Obtaining the hematopoietic cells from the donor subject (autologous or allogeneic) is performed by apheresis or leukapheresis. HLA typing of a potential donor and the recipient and apheresis or leukapheresis are methods routinely practiced in the clinical art. [00455] By way of non-limiting example, autologous or allogenic hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors cells may be used for treating a recipient subject who has certain cancers, such as Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors cells may be used, for example, for treating a recipient subject who has acute leukemia (e.g., AML, ALL); chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); amegakaryocytosis/congenital thrombocytopenia; aplastic anemia/refractory anemia; familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; myelodysplastic syndrome/other

myelodysplastic disorders; osteopetrosis; paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria; and

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, for example. Exemplary uses for autologous hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors cells include treating a recipient subject who has amyloidosis; germ cell tumors (e.g., testicular cancer); or a solid tumor. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants have also been investigated for use in treating solid tumors (see, e.g., Ueno et al., Blood 102:3829-36 (2003)). [00456] In some embodiments of the methods described herein, the subject is not a donor of peripheral hematopoietic cells but has a disease, disorder, or condition for which mobilization of hematopoietic cells in the subject will provide clinical benefit. Stated another way, while this clinical situation is similar to autologous hematopoietic cell replacement, the mobilized hematopoietic cells are not removed and given back to the same subject at a later time as occurs, for example, with a subject who receives myeloablation therapy.

Accordingly, methods are provided for mobilizing hematopoietic cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells and leukocytes (including granulocytes, such as neutrophils), by administering at least once compound of Formula (I). Mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells may be useful for treating an inflammatory condition or for tissue repair or wound healing. See, e.g., Mimeault et al., Clin. Pharmacol. Therapeutics 82:252-64 (2007). [00457] In some embodiments, the methods described herein are useful for mobilizing hematopoietic leukocytes (white blood cells) in a subject, which methods may be used in treating diseases, disorders, and conditions for which an increase in white blood cells, such as neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, will provide clinical benefit. For example, for cancer patients, the compounds of Formula (I) are beneficial for stimulating neutrophil production to compensate for hematopoietic deficits resulting from chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Other diseases, disorders, and conditions to be treated include infectious diseases and related conditions, such as sepsis. When the subject to whom at least one compound of Formula (I) is administered is a donor, neutrophils may be collected for administration to a recipient subject who has reduced hematopoietic function, reduced immune function, reduced neutrophil count, reduced neutrophil mobilization, severe chronic neutropenia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Mobilization of mature white blood cells may be useful in subjects to improve or to enhance tissue repair, and to minimize or prevent vascular injury and tissue damage, for example following liver transplantation, myocardial infarction or limb ischemia. See, e.g., Pelus, Curr. Opin. Hematol. 15:285-92 (2008); Lemoli et al., Haematologica 93:321-24 (2008). [00458] The compounds of Formula (I) may be used in combination with one or more other agents that mobilize hematopoietic cells. Such agents include, for example, G-CSF; AMD3100 or other CXCR4 antagonists; GRO-ȕ^^&;&/^^^DQG^DQ^1-terminal 4-amino truncated form (SB-251353); IL-8SDF-^Į^SHSWLGH^DQDORJV^^&7&(-0021 and CTCE-0214; and the SDF1 analog, Met-SDF-^ȕ^^see, e.g., Pelus, supra and references cited therein). In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) may be administered with other mobilizing agents used in the art, which may permit administration of a lower dose of GCSF or AMD3100, for example, than required in the absence of a compound of Formula (I). The appropriate therapeutic regimen for administering a compound of Formula (I) in combination with another mobilizing agent or agents can be readily determined by a person skilled in the clinical art. [00459] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful in methods for preventing and/or treating mucositis. In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) may be used in methods described herein for decreasing the likelihood of occurrence of mucositis in a subject who is in need thereof by administering the compound or composition to the subject. In some embodiments, the mucositis is chosen from oral mucositis, esophageal mucositis, and gastrointestinal mucositis. In some embodiments, the mucositis is alimentary mucositis. [00460] It is believed that approximately half of all cancer patients undergoing therapy suffer some degree of mucositis. Mucositis is believed to occur, for example, in virtually all patients treated with radiation therapy for head and neck tumors, all patients receiving radiation along the GI tract, and approximately 40% of those subjected to radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy for tumors in other locations (e.g., leukemias or lymphomas). It is also is believed to be highly prevalent in patients treated with high dose chemotherapy and/or irradiation for the purpose of myeloablation, such as in preparation for stem cell or bone marrow transplantation. The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful in methods for treating and/or preventing mucositis in a subject afflicted with cancer. In some embodiments, the subject is afflicted with a cancer chosen from head and neck cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, lymphatic cancer, leukemic cancer, and/or gastrointestinal cancer. In some embodiments, the mucositis is associated with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. In some embodiments, the chemotherapy comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound chosen from platinum, cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, mechlorethamine, cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, azathioprine, mercaptopurine, vincristine, vinblastine, vinorelbine, vindesine, etoposide, teniposide, paclitaxel, docetaxel, irinotecan, topotecan, amsacrine, etoposide, etoposide phosphate, teniposide, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, methotrexate, gemcitabine, taxane, leucovorin, mitomycin C, tegafur-uracil, idarubicin, fludarabine, mitoxantrone, ifosfamide and doxorubicin. [00461] In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering a

therapeutically effective amount of at least one MMP inhibitor, inflammatory cytokine inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor, NSAID, NO inhibitor, or antimicrobial compound. [00462] In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering a

therapeutically effective amount of velafermin and/or palifermin. [00463] In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering a

therapeutically effective amount of Davanat®, mannose, and/or galactose. [00464] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful in methods for treating and/or preventing thrombosis. As described herein methods are provided for inhibiting formation of a thrombus or inhibiting the rate at which a thrombus is formed. These methods may therefore be used for preventing thrombosis (i.e., reducing or decreasing the likelihood of occurrence of a thrombus in a statistically or clinically significant manner). [00465] Thrombus formation may occur in infants, children, teenagers and adults. An individual may have a hereditary predisposition to thrombosis. Thrombosis may be initiated, for example, due to a medical condition (such as cancer or pregnancy), a medical procedure (such as surgery) or an environmental condition (such as prolonged immobility). Other individuals at risk for thrombus formation include those who have previously presented with a thrombus. [00466] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful in methods for treating individuals undergoing thrombosis or who are at risk of a thrombotic event occurring. Such individuals may or may not have a risk of bleeding. In some embodiments, the individual has a risk of bleeding. In some embodiments, the thrombosis is a venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE causes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Low molecular weight (LMW) heparin is the current mainstay therapy for the prevention and treatment of VTE. In many circumstances, however, the use of LMW heparin is contraindicated. LMW heparin is a known anti-coagulant and delays clotting over four times longer than control bleeding times. Patients undergoing surgery, patients with thrombocytopenia, patients with a history of stroke, and many cancer patients should avoid administration of heparin due to the risk of bleeding. By contrast, administration of the compounds of Formula (I) significantly reduces the time to clotting than occurs when LMW heparin is administered, and thus provide a significant improvement in reducing bleeding time compared with LMW heparin.

Accordingly, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein may not only be useful for treating a patient for whom the risk of bleeding is not significant, but also may be useful in when the risk of bleeding is significant and the use of anti-thrombosis agents with anti-coagulant properties (such as LMW heparin) is contraindicated. [00467] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be administered in combination with at least one additional anti-thrombosis agent. The compounds of the present disclosure and

pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may function independently from the anti-thrombosis agent or may function in coordination with the at least one anti-thrombosis agent. In addition, the administration of one or more of the compounds or compositions may be in conjunction with one or more other therapies, e.g., for reducing toxicities of therapy. For example, at least one palliative agent to counteract (at least in part) a side effect of therapy may be administered. Agents (chemical or biological) that promote recovery and/or counteract side effects of administration of antibiotics or corticosteroids are examples of such palliative agents. The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one such compound may be administered before, after, or concurrently with administration of at least one additional anti- thrombosis agent or at least one palliative agent to reduce a side effect of therapy. Where administration is concurrent, the combination may be administered from a single container or two (or more) separate containers. [00468] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be useful for treating and/or preventing at least one cardiovascular disease, disorder and/or condition. Non-limiting examples of

cardiovascular disease include atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, coronary artery stenosis (occlusion of the coronary arteries), chronic cardiovascular and/or arterial inflammation, acute cardiovascular and/or arterial inflammation,

hypercholesterolemia, restenosis (narrowing of the vessel lumen), arrhythmia, thrombosis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, dyslipoproteinemia, angina (cardiac chest pain), and vascular complications due to a cardiovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction or myocardial ischemia). [00469] In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a

pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) may be administered prior to or subsequent to an acute cardiovascular event in the subject. In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) may be administered prior to or subsequent to the development or diagnosis of a cardiovascular disease, disorder and/or condition in the subject. In some embodiments, the acute cardiovascular event is a myocardial infarction. [00470] In some embodiments, a method for treatment and/or prevention of atherosclerosis is disclosed, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). Atherosclerosis generally describes a disease of the arterial blood vessels. As used herein,“atherosclerosis” includes, but is not limited to, chronic and/or acute atherosclerotic inflammation prior to or subsequent to the formation of at least one atherosclerotic plaque in the subject. Atherosclerosis also includes, but is not limited to, chronic progressive atherosclerosis and/or atherosclerotic inflammation. Atherosclerosis also includes, but is not limited to, acute atherosclerosis and/or

atherosclerotic inflammation subsequent to an acute vascular event in the subject (such as, for example, myocardial infarction). [00471] In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a

pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) may be administered prior to or subsequent to the formation of at least one atherosclerotic plaque, lesion or atheroma in the subject. [00472] In some embodiments, the formation, progression, destabilization and/or rupture of at least one atherosclerotic plaque within the subject is reduced. [00473] Atherosclerotic plaques may be characterized as stable or unstable (i.e., vulnerable to destabilization). Unstable atherosclerotic plaques may be susceptible to disruption or rupture, which exposes thrombogenic material (i.e., thrombi) (e.g., collagen) to the circulation. This can produce interruptions in blood flood (ischemia) in local or distal arteries, which can result in cardiovascular complications, such as, for example, myocardial infarction (MI). [00474] Destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques may occur via many mechanisms. Non- limiting examples of such mechanisms include superficial erosion of the endothelial cells that form the monolayer covering the intima, disruption of the microvessels that form in the atherosclerotic plaque, rupture (i.e., fracture) of the atherosclerotic plaque’s fibrous cap, thinning or weakening of the fibrous cap (thus making it susceptible to rupture), and the presence or increase in inflammatory factors that mediate destabilization. (Libby P., Nature, 420: 868-874 (2002)). [00475] A non-limiting example of inflammatory factors that mediate destabilization is the presence of inflammatory cells. The progression of atherosclerosis may be associated with systemically increased inflammatory myeloid cells that are recruited to atherosclerotic plaques. (Murphy, A.J. et al., J. Clin. Invest., 121: 4138-4149 (2011); Averill, L.E. et al., Am. J. Pathol., 135: 369-377 (1989); Feldman, D.L. et al., Arterioscler. Thromb., 11: 985-994 (1991); Swirski, F.K. et al., J. Clin. Invest..117: 195-205 (2007)). The presence of inflammatory myeloid cells may be detrimental to a stable plaque. (Llodra, J. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 101: 11779-11784 (2004)). [00476] In some embodiments, the stability of at least one atherosclerotic plaque within the subject is increased. Non-limiting examples of stable features of atherosclerotic plaques (i.e., stable phenotype) include smaller plaque size, reduced (i.e., decreased, diminished, smaller) necrotic core size (measured by, for example, necrotic core area), and a thicker fibrous cap of the atherosclerotic plaque. (See, e.g., Moore K.J. et al., Cell, 145: 341-355 (2011)). [00477] In some embodiments, the size of at least one atherosclerotic plaque within the subject is decreased. In some embodiments, the necrotic core size of at least one

atherosclerotic plaque within the subject is decreased. In some embodiments, the fibrous cap thickness of at least one atherosclerotic plaque within the subject is increased. [00478] In some embodiments, the administration of an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) reduces the levels of extramedullary proliferation of hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells within the subject. In some embodiments, extramedullary proliferation of hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells is reduced in the spleen and/or the liver. Non-limiting examples of extramedullary proliferation of hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells include extramedullary hematopoiesis and extramedullary myelopoiesis. [00479] In some embodiments, the administration of an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) reduces the recruitment and/or infiltration of myeloid cells to at least one atherosclerotic plaque within the subject. Non-limiting examples of myeloid cells include monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, dendritic cells, and megakaryocytes and platelets. [00480] In some embodiments, the at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) is administered after angioplasty, stenting procedure, atherectomy, bypass surgery, or other vessel-corrective techniques. [00481] In some embodiments, the at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) is administered before angioplasty, stenting procedure, atherectomy, bypass surgery, or other vessel- corrective techniques. [00482] In some embodiments, a method for treatment and prevention of myocardial infarction is disclosed, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, the subject has previously suffered a myocardial infarction. In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) may be administered before the occurrence of a myocardial infarction in the subject. In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) may be administered after the occurrence of a first or subsequent myocardial infarction in the subject. [00483] In some embodiments, at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a

pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) is administered to the subject: within one (1) day of the subject suffering a myocardial infarction, within one (1) week of the subject suffering a myocardial infarction, within two (2) weeks of the subject suffering a myocardial infarction, within three (3) weeks of the subject suffering a myocardial infarction, within four (4) weeks of the subject suffering a myocardial infarction, within eight (8) weeks of the subject suffering a myocardial infarction, or within twelve (12) weeks of the subject suffering a myocardial infarction. [00484] In some embodiments, a method for the treatment of sickle cell disease or complications associated therewith is disclosed, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00485] In some embodiments, a method for treatment and prevention of vaso-occlusive crisis or complications associated therewith is disclosed, the method comprising

administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) and/or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). [00486] In some embodiments, the pathological angiogenesis in the eye. Examples of ocular diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with pathological angiogenesis include age-related macular degeneration, ocular histoplasmosis syndrome, neovascular glaucoma, retrolental fibroplasia, pathologic myopia, angioid streaks, idiopathic disorders, choroiditis, choroidal rupture, overlying choroid nevi, graft rejection, herpes simplex keratitis, leishmaniasis, onchocerciasis, certain inflammatory diseases such as dry eye syndrome, and trauma to the eye (e.g., cornea). [00487] In some embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to methods for treatment and prevention of pathological angiogenesis in patients with cancer. [00488] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may be administered in combination with at least one additional antiepileptic agent (e.g. acetazolamide, carbamazepine, clobazam, clonazepam, eslicarbazepine acetate, ethosuximide, gabapentin, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, nitrazepam, oxcarbazepine, perampanel, piracetam, phenobarbital, phenytoin, pregabalin, primidone, rufinamide, sodium valproate, stiripentol, tiagabine, topiramate, vigabatrin, zonisamide). The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound may function independently from the antiepileptic agent or may function in coordination with the at least one antiepileptic agent. In addition, the administration of one or more of the compounds or compositions may be in conjunction with one or more other therapies, e.g., for reducing toxicities of therapy. For example, at least one palliative agent to counteract (at least in part) a side effect of therapy may be administered. Agents (chemical or biological) that promote recovery or enhancement of appetite, or counteract nausea or fatigue, are examples of such agents. The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one such compound may be administered before, after, or concurrently with administration of at least one additional anti-thrombosis agent or at least one palliative agent to reduce a side effect of therapy. Where administration is concurrent, the combination may be administered from a single container or two (or more) separate containers. [00489] The terms,“treat” and“treatment,” include medical management of a disease, disorder, and/or condition of a subject as would be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art (see, e.g., Stedman’s Medical Dictionary). In general, an appropriate dose and treatment regimen provide at least one of the compounds of the present disclosure in an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit. For both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit includes, for example, an improved clinical outcome, wherein the object is to prevent or slow or lessen an undesired physiological change or disorder, or to prevent or slow or lessen the expansion or severity of such disorder. As discussed herein, beneficial or desired clinical results from treating a subject include, but are not limited to, abatement, lessening, or alleviation of symptoms that result from or are associated with the disease, condition, and/or disorder to be treated; decreased occurrence of symptoms; improved quality of life; longer disease-free status (i.e., decreasing the likelihood or the propensity that a subject will present symptoms on the basis of which a diagnosis of a disease is made); diminishment of extent of disease; stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of disease; delay or slowing of disease progression; amelioration or palliation of the disease state; and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable; and/or overall survival.“Treatment” can include prolonging survival when compared to expected survival if a subject were not receiving treatment. [00490] In some embodiments of the methods described herein, the subject is a human. In some embodiments of the methods described herein, the subject is a non-human animal. Non-human animals that may be treated include mammals, for example, non-human primates (e.g., monkey, chimpanzee, gorilla, and the like), rodents (e.g., rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, ferrets, rabbits), lagomorphs, swine (e.g., pig, miniature pig), equine, canine, feline, bovine, and other domestic, farm, and zoo animals. [00491] The effectiveness of the compounds of the present disclosure in treating and/or preventing diseases, disorders, and/or conditions treatable by inhibiting an activity of E- selectin, galectin-3, and/or CXCR4 chemokine receptors can readily be determined by a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art. Determining and adjusting an appropriate dosing regimen (e.g., adjusting the amount of compound per dose and/or number of doses and frequency of dosing) can also readily be performed by a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art. One or any combination of diagnostic methods, including physical examination, assessment and monitoring of clinical symptoms, and performance of analytical tests and methods described herein, may be used for monitoring the health status of the subject. [00492] Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions further comprise at least one additional pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient. [00493] In pharmaceutical compositions, any one or more of the compounds of the present disclosure may be administered in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative, such as a salt, and/or it or they may also be used alone and/or in appropriate association, as well as in combination, with other pharmaceutically active compounds. [00494] An effective amount or therapeutically effective amount refers to an amount of at least one compound of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one such compound that, when administered to a subject, either as a single dose or as part of a series of doses, is effective to produce at least one therapeutic effect. Optimal doses may generally be determined using experimental models and/or clinical trials. Design and execution of pre-clinical and clinical studies for each of the therapeutics (including when administered for prophylactic benefit) described herein are well within the skill of a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art. The optimal dose of a therapeutic may depend upon the body mass, weight, and/or blood volume of the subject. [00495] In general, the amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) as described herein, that is present in a dose, may range from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg per kg weight of the subject. In some embodiments, the amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) that is present in a dose may range from about 0.01 mg to about 40 mg per kg weight of the subject. In some embodiments, the amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) that is present in a dose may range from about 0.01 mg to about 20 mg per kg weight of the subject. In some embodiments, the amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) that is present in a dose may range from about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg per kg weight of the subject. In some embodiments, the amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) that is present in a dose may range from about 0.1 mg to about 40 mg per kg weight of the subject. In some embodiments, the amount of at least one compound of Formula (I) that is present in a dose may range from about 0.1 mg to about 20 mg per kg weight of the subject. [00496] The minimum dose that is sufficient to provide effective therapy may be used in some embodiments. Subjects may generally be monitored for therapeutic effectiveness using assays suitable for the disease, disorder and/or condition being treated or prevented, which assays will be familiar to those having ordinary skill in the art and are described herein. The level of a compound that is administered to a subject may be monitored by determining the level of the compound (or a metabolite of the compound) in a biological fluid, for example, in the blood, blood fraction (e.g., serum), and/or in the urine, and/or other biological sample from the subject. Any method practiced in the art to detect the compound, or metabolite thereof, may be used to measure the level of the compound during the course of a therapeutic regimen. [00497] The dose of a compound described herein may depend upon the subject’s condition, that is, stage of the disease, severity of symptoms caused by the disease, general health status, as well as age, gender, and weight, and other factors apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the medical art. Similarly, the dose of the therapeutic for treating a disease, disorder, and/or condition may be determined according to parameters understood by a person of ordinary skill in the medical art. [00498] Pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in any manner appropriate to the disease, disorder, and/or condition to be treated as determined by persons of ordinary skill in the medical arts. An appropriate dose and a suitable duration and frequency of administration will be determined by such factors as discussed herein, including the condition of the patient, the type and severity of the patient’s disease, the particular form of the active ingredient, and the method of administration. In general, an appropriate dose (or effective dose) and treatment regimen provides the composition(s) as described herein in an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit (for example, an improved clinical outcome, such as more frequent complete or partial remissions, or longer disease-free and/or overall survival, or a lessening of symptom severity or other benefit as described in detail above). [00499] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be administered to a subject in need thereof by any one of several routes that effectively delivers an effective amount of the compound. Non-limiting examples of suitable administrative routes include topical, oral, nasal, intrathecal, enteral, buccal, sublingual, transdermal, rectal, vaginal, intraocular, subconjunctival, sublingual, and parenteral administration, including

subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal, intracavernous, intrameatal, and intraurethral injection and/or infusion. [00500] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may, for example, be sterile aqueous or sterile non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, or emulsions, and may additionally comprise at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient (i.e., a non-toxic material that does not interfere with the activity of the active ingredient). Such compositions may, for example, be in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas (aerosol). Alternatively, the compositions described herein may, for example, be formulated as a lyophilizate, or compounds described herein may be encapsulated within liposomes using technology known in the art. The pharmaceutical compositions may further comprise at least one additional pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient, which may be biologically active or inactive. Non-limiting examples of such ingredients include buffers (e.g., neutral buffered saline or phosphate buffered saline), carbohydrates (e.g., glucose, mannose, sucrose or dextrans), mannitol, proteins, polypeptides, amino acids (e.g., glycine), antioxidants, chelating agents (e.g., EDTA and glutathione), stabilizers, dyes, flavoring agents, suspending agents, and preservatives. [00501] Any suitable excipient or carrier known to those of ordinary skill in the art for use in compositions may be employed in the compositions described herein. Excipients for therapeutic use are well known, and are described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (Gennaro, 21 ^st Ed. Mack Pub. Co., Easton, PA (2005)). In general, the type of excipient may be selected based on the mode of administration, as well as the chemical composition of the active ingredient(s). Compositions may be formulated for the particular mode of administration. For parenteral administration, pharmaceutical compositions may further comprise water, saline, alcohols, fats, waxes, and buffers. For oral administration, pharmaceutical compositions may further comprise at least one component chosen, for example, from any of the aforementioned ingredients, excipients and carriers, such as mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, talcum, cellulose, kaolin, glycerin, starch dextrins, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, ethyl cellulose, glucose, sucrose, and magnesium carbonate. [00502] The pharmaceutical compositions (e.g., for oral administration or delivery by injection) may be in the form of a liquid. A liquid composition may include, for example, at least one the following: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, including for example physiological saline, Ringer’s solution, isotonic sodium chloride, fixed oils that may serve as the solvent or suspending medium, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, propylene glycol or other solvents; antibacterial agents; antioxidants; chelating agents; buffers and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. A parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises physiological saline. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is an injectable composition, and in some embodiments, the injectable composition is sterile. [00503] For oral formulations, at least one of the compounds of the present disclosure can be used alone or in combination with at least one additive appropriate to make tablets, powders, granules and/or capsules, for example, those chosen from conventional additives, disintegrators, lubricants, diluents, buffering agents, moistening agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and flavoring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated to include at least one buffering agent, which may provide for protection of the active ingredient from low pH of the gastric environment and/or an enteric coating. A

pharmaceutical composition may be formulated for oral delivery with at least one flavoring agent, e.g., in a liquid, solid or semi-solid formulation and/or with an enteric coating. [00504] Oral formulations may be provided as gelatin capsules, which may contain the active compound or biological along with powdered carriers. Similar carriers and diluents may be used to make compressed tablets. Tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of active ingredients over a period of time. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract. [00505] A pharmaceutical composition may be formulated for sustained or slow release. Such compositions may generally be prepared using well known technology and

administered by, for example, oral, rectal or subcutaneous implantation, or by implantation at the desired target site. Sustained-release formulations may contain the active therapeutic dispersed in a carrier matrix and/or contained within a reservoir surrounded by a rate controlling membrane. Excipients for use within such formulations are biocompatible, and may also be biodegradable; the formulation may provide a relatively constant level of active component release. The amount of active therapeutic contained within a sustained release formulation depends upon the site of implantation, the rate and expected duration of release, and the nature of the condition to be treated or prevented. [00506] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be formulated as suppositories by mixing with a variety of bases such as emulsifying bases or water-soluble bases. The pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared as aerosol formulations to be administered via inhalation. The pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated into pressurized acceptable propellants such as dichlorodifluoromethane, propane, nitrogen and the like. [00507] The compounds of the present disclosure and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds may be administered topically (e.g., by transdermal administration). Topical formulations may be in the form of a transdermal patch, ointment, paste, lotion, cream, gel, and the like. Topical formulations may include one or more of a penetrating agent or enhancer (also call permeation enhancer), thickener, diluent, emulsifier, dispersing aid, or binder. Physical penetration enhancers include, for example,

electrophoretic techniques such as iontophoresis, use of ultrasound (or“phonophoresis”), and the like. Chemical penetration enhancers are agents administered either prior to, with, or immediately following administration of the therapeutic, which increase the permeability of the skin, particularly the stratum corneum, to provide for enhanced penetration of the drug through the skin. Additional chemical and physical penetration enhancers are described in, for example, Transdermal Delivery of Drugs, A. F. Kydonieus (ED) 1987 CRL Press;

Percutaneous Penetration Enhancers, eds. Smith et al. (CRC Press, 1995); Lenneräs et al., J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 54:499-508 (2002); Karande et al., Pharm. Res. 19:655-60 (2002); Vaddi et al., Int. J. Pharm.91:1639-51 (2002); Ventura et al., J. Drug Target 9:379-93 (2001); Shokri et al., Int. J. Pharm. 228(1-2):99-107 (2001); Suzuki et al., Biol. Pharm. Bull.24:698- 700 (2001); Alberti et al., J.

E-SELECTIN ACTIVITY– BINDING ASSAY

[00844] The inhibition assay to screen and characterize antagonists of E-selectin is a competitive binding assay, from which IC ₅₀ values may be determined. E-selectin/Ig chimera are immobilized in 96 well microtiter plates by incubation at 37 °C for 2 hours. To reduce nonspecific binding, bovine serum albumin is added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The plate is washed and serial dilutions of the test compounds are added to the wells in the presence of conjugates of biotinylated, sLea polyacrylamide with streptavidin/horseradish peroxidase and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. [00845] To determine the amount of sLe ^a bound to immobilized E-selectin after washing, the peroxidase substrate, 3,3’,5,5’ tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is added. After 3 minutes, the enzyme reaction is stopped by the addition of H ₃ PO ₄ , and the absorbance of light at a wavelength of 450 nm is determined. The concentration of test compound required to inhibit binding by 50% is determined.

E-Selectin Antagonist Activity EXAMPLE 251 GALECTIN-3 ACTIVITY– ELISA ASSAY

[00846] Galectin-3 antagonists can be evaluated for their ability to inhibit binding of galectin-3 to a Galȕ1-3GlcNAc carbohydrate structure. The detailed protocol is as follows. A 1 ug/mL suspension of a Galȕ1-3GlcNAcȕ1-3Galȕ1-4GlcNAcȕ-PAA-biotin polymer (Glycotech, catalog number 01-096) is prepared. A 100 uL aliquot of the polymer is added to the wells of a 96-well streptavidin-coated plate (R&D Systems, catalog number CP004). A 100 uL aliquot of 1X Tris Buffered Saline (TBS, Sigma, catalog number T5912– 10X) is added to control wells. The polymer is allowed to bind to the streptavidin-coated wells for 1.5 hours at room temperature. The contents of the wells are discarded and 200 uL of 1X TBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) is added to each well as a blocking reagent and the plate is kept at room temperature for 30 minutes. The wells are washed three times with 1X TBS containing 0.1% BSA. A serial dilution of test compounds is prepared in a separate V-bottom plate (Corning, catalog number 3897). A 75 uL aliquot of the highest concentration of the compound to be tested is added to the first well in a column of the V- bottom plate then 15 ul is serially transferred into 60 uL 1X TBS through the remaining wells in the column to generate a 1 to 5 serial dilution. A 60 uL aliquot of 2 ug/mL galectin-3 (IBL, catalog number IBATGP0414) is added to each well in the V-bottom plate. A 100 uL aliquot of the galectin-3/test compound mixture is transferred from the V-bottom plate into the assay plate containing the Galȕ1-3GlcNAc polymer. Four sets of control wells in the assay plate are prepared in duplicate containing 1) both Galȕ1-3GlcNAc polymer and galectin-3, 2) neither the polymer nor galectin-3, 3) galectin-3 only, no polymer, or 4) polymer only, no galectin-3. The plate is gently rocked for 1.5 hours at room temperature. The wells are washed four times with TBS/0.1%BSA. A 100 uL aliquot of anti-galectin-3 antibody conjugated to horse radish peroxidase (R&D Systems, from DGAL30 kit) is added to each well and the plate is kept at room temperature for 1 hour. The wells are washed four times with TBS/0.1%BSA. A 100 uL aliquot of TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The TMB substrate solution is prepared by making a 1:1 mixture of TMB Peroxidase Substrate (KPL, catalog number 5120-0048) and Peroxidase Substrate Solution B (KPL, catalog number 5120-0037). The plate is kept at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes. The color development is stopped by adding 100 uL 10% phosphoric acid (RICCA Chemical Co., catalog number 5850-16). The absorbance at 450 nm (A ₄₅₀ ) is measured using a FlexStation 3 plate reader (Molecular Devices). Plots of A ₄₅₀ versus test compound concentration and IC ₅₀ determinations are made using GraphPad Prism 6. EXAMPLE 252 CXCR4 ASSAY– INHIBITION OF CYCLIC AMP

[00847] The CXCR4-cAMP assay measures the ability of a glycomimetic CXCR4 antagonist to inhibit the binding of CXCL12 (SDF-1D) to CHO cells that have been genetically engineered to express CXCR4 on the cell surface. Assay kits may be purchased from DiscoveRx (95-0081E2CP2M; cAMP Hunter eXpress CXCR4 CHO-K1). The G _i - coupled receptor antagonist response protocol described in the kit instruction manual can be followed. GPCRs, such as CXCR4, are typically coupled to one of the 3 G-proteins: Gs, Gi or Gq. In the CHO cells supplied with the kit, CXCR4 is coupled to Gi. After activation of CXCR4 by ligand binding (CXCL12), Gi dissociates from the CXCR4 complex, becomes activated, and binds to adenylyl cyclase, thus inactivating it, resulting in decreased levels of intracellular cAMP. Intracellular cAMP is usually low, so the decrease of the low level of cAMP by a Gi-coupled receptor will be hard to detect. Forskolin is added to the CHO cells to directly activate adenylyl cyclase (bypassing all GPCRs), thus raising the level of cAMP in the cell, so that a Gi response can be easily observed. CXCL12 interaction with CXCR4 decreases the intracellular level of cAMP and inhibition of CXCL12 interaction with CXCR4 by a CXCR4 antagonist increases the intracellular cAMP level, which is measured by luminescence.
