General description

A cell-permeable imidazopyridine based compound that lacks canonical zinc chelating moieties and acts in a reversible manner to disrupt heterochromatin-mediated transcriptional gene silencing in mammalian, fungal, and plant cells (5 - 10 µM). Targets Clr3-containing Snf2/HDAC repressor complex (SHREC) and inhibits HDAC6 and HDAC10 activities. Increases G418 resistance of cen1-kanMX cells. Shown to diminish H3K9 methylation and increase H3K9 and H3K14 acetylation in cells grown in the presence of G418. Murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells grown in the presence of this compound can overcome α-satellite repeats-mediated gene silencing.
