Highly luminescent carbon dots (CDs) derived from fermented beverages-kvass (K-CDs) were synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method with ethylenediamine (EDA) as a surface passivation reagent. Purified K-CDs with a fluorescent quantum yield of 35.1% were obtained after a dialysis process.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) is a transcriptional regulator and a potential therapeutic target in hematologic malignancies. Selective and transient CDK9 inhibition reduces Mcl-1 expression and induces apoptosis in Mcl-1-dependent tumor cells for survival. Here, we describe our efforts to discover a novel series of 2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-one as CDK9 inhibitors.

Hematologic malignancies (HM) start in blood forming tissue or in the cells of the immune system. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate cell cycle progression, and some of them control cellular transcription. CDK inhibition can trigger apoptosis and could be particularly useful in hematological malignancies.

Specific inhibition of CDK9 is considered a promising strategy for developing effective anticancer therapeutics. However, most of the reported CDK9 inhibitors are still at an early stage of development and lack selectivity against other CDKs. Herein, we discovered coumarin derivative 30i as a potent CDK9 inhibitor with high selectivity (8300-fold over CDK7).
