To provide compounds and salts exhibiting
high selectivity and inhibitory activity against mTORC1, and to provide uses thereof for treating diseases.SOLUTION: In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method of treating a
disease, wherein the
disease is selected from chronic diseases. The chronic diseases may be selected from diseases in which the mTORC1 is hyperactivated. The chronic diseases may be selected from diseases in which chronic diseases would benefit from inhibiting mTORC1. In certain embodiments, the chronic diseases may be selected from age-related diseases that result in overactivity of mTORC1, including neurodegenerative diseases, neurocutaneous diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, mTORopathies, tauopathies, cognitive disorders,
epilepsy,
autism spectrum disorders, autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases,
cancer,
autophagy disorders, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases,
muscle atrophy, inflammatory diseases,
