Methods of using serum glucocorticoid induced kinase 1 (SGK1) inhibitors for reducing the development of diseases related to salt and water balance, and in particular, hydrocephalus and/or hypertension, are disclosed herein. Particularly, the present disclosure is directed to the use of SGK1 inhibitors to inhibit transepithelial ion transport, such as in one embodiment, in the choroid plexus of a subject, thereby reducing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production or, alternatively, in another embodiment, to inhibit transepithelial sodium transport in the kidney collecting duct thereby reducing sodium reabsorption into the blood.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising (R, E)-N-(4-(3-chloro-4-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy) phenylamino)-3-cyano-7-ethoxyquinolin-6-yl)-3-(1-methylpyrrolidinyl-2-yl)-acrylamide or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, which is obtained by mixing the quinoline derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, a wetting agent, a disintegrant, and at least one pharmaceutical excipient; granulating; dynamic drying; and optionally compressing into tablets or filling into capsules after mixing with a lubricant.

A compound according to an embodiment is represented by Formula 1. The compound may be used for treatment of autoimmune diseases. A composition for treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases includes the compound and is expected to not only control inflammation but also recover immune balance as well as damaged tissues, thereby restoring bowel tissue homeostasis.

Described is a method for associating with the expression level of an AKR1C3 enzyme via the content of prostaglandin, and the use of screening for drug administration. In particular, the content of prostaglandin is measured to associate with the expression level of the AKR1C3 enzyme in a biological sample; and the change in the content and the change rate of the content of prostaglandin before and after administering interfering drugs are measured to associate with the expression level of the AKR1C3 enzyme in the biological sample.

The present invention relates to methods of treating patients with neutropenia, such as severe, chronic neutropenia, or a related disorder, in which mavorixafor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered to such patients. In some cases, the methods have the advantage of reducing or eliminating the need for administration of G-CSF, which is frequently associated with severe bone pain.
