Chemicals identified as KANSL3 inhibitors are primarily involved in the modification of chromatin structure and gene expression patterns. These inhibitors do not target KANSL3 directly but can influence the processes and pathways that KANSL3 is involved in, such as chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. For example, inhibitors like Trichostatin A, SAHA, and Mocetinostat are known to modulate the acetylation status of histones, a key epigenetic modification that regulates gene expression. By altering the acetylation landscape, these compounds can impact the binding affinity and functional dynamics of the NSL complex, which KANSL3 is part of, hence indirectly affecting its action within cells.

Furthermore, compounds such as 5-Azacytidine and Sinefungin impact the methylation patterns of DNA and histones, respectively. These modifications play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression, and by modulating these epigenetic marks, the chemicals can exert an influence on the overall genetic programming of the cell. The action of Anacardic Acid and C646 as HAT inhibitors, and BIX-01294 as a histone methyltransferase inhibitor, further exemplifies the indirect approach of these compounds in potentially modulating the function of KANSL3 by changing the epigenetic context in which it operates.
