CDK9 inhibitor (A3294): Practical Lab Guide
2026-08-13
CDK9 inhibitor (A3294) is a selective serine/threonine kinase inhibitor for studying CDK9-dependent transcription elongation and P-TEFb-related processes. It is appropriate for focused biochemical, cell viability, and MT4 HIV-1 research workflows, but not for broad-spectrum CDK inhibition or long-term storage of prepared solutions.

Triterpene Prodrug for Targeted Oral Cancer Therapy
2026-08-13
The reference study develops a carrier-free, self-assembled prodrug that combines glycyrrhetinic acid and ginsenoside Rh2 for reactive oxygen species-responsive treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Its central innovation is a self-reinforcing mechanism in which tumor-associated ROS releases the active triterpenes while glycyrrhetinic acid generates additional ROS, strengthening oxidative stress and apoptosis.
