The present invention relates to small molecule modulators of mTORC1 and mTORC2, syntheses thereof, and intermediates thereto. Such small molecule modulators are useful in the treatment of proliferative diseases (e.g., benign neoplasms, cancers, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, diabetic retinopathy) and metabolic diseases. Novel small molecules are provided that inhibit one or more of mTORC1, mTORC2, and PI3K-related proteins. Novel methods of providing soluble mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes are discussed, as well as methods of using the soluble complexes in a high-throughput manner to screen for inhibitory compounds.

Device, related to the means for radiation therapy of malignant and benign neoplasms and certain other diseases, comprise hollow probe 5, source 1 of neutral particle radiation in the form of X-ray or gamma quanta or neutrons, and means of shaping the particle beam of said radiation oriented by the longitudinal axis of the probe. Means of shaping the particle beam is executed in the form of collimator or lens 18 comprising aggregate of curved channels for radiation transmission with a total internal reflection. Said means may be located inside of the probe 5. On using the device, probe 5 is introduced into the body of patient 11, with its distal end 7 approaching pathological locus 13 or inserted directly into it.For exposure of pathological locus, use is made of radiation of the neutral particles source directly or secondary radiation excited in the target placed in the distal end of the probe or radiation dissipated with this target.Design of the device requires no evacuation of the probe and use of high voltage in the latter, is easily transformed by the probe replacement, in particular, to change its size, to change energy and directional pattern of radiation affecting the pathological locus. Making of the probe removable simplifies its sterilization.

The present invention provides novel compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, tautomers, stereoisomers, isotopically labeled derivatives, and compositions thereof. Also provided are methods and kits involving the compounds or compositions for treating or preventing proliferative diseases (e.g., cancers (e.g., leukemia, melanoma, multiple myeloma), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases) in a subject. Treatment of a subject with a proliferative disease using a compound or composition of the invention may inhibit the aberrant activity of a kinase, such as a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) (e.g., cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7)), and therefore, induce cellular apoptosis and / or inhibit transcription in the subject.

A diagnostic test for ovarian cysts is based on the detection of mutations characteristic of the most common neoplasms giving rise to these lesions. With this test, tumor-specific mutations were detected in the cyst fluids of 19 of 24 (79%) borderline tumors and 28 of 31 (90%) malignant ovarian cancers. In contrast, we detected no mutations in the cyst fluids from 10 non-neoplastic cysts and 12 benign tumors. When categorized by the need for exploratory surgery (i.e., presence of a borderline tumor or malignant cancer), the sensitivity of this test was 85% and the specificity was 100%. These tests could inform the diagnosis of ovarian cysts and improve the clinical management of the large number of women with these lesions.
