The proposed chemical class of PRR23A4 Inhibitors encapsulates a range of compounds that could indirectly affect the activity of the protein PRR23A4 by targeting cellular processes or signaling pathways with which it may be associated. This class is not based on direct interaction with PRR23A4, and these compounds are not known to specifically inhibit PRR23A4. Instead, they may influence the synthesis, degradation, or function of a broad array of proteins, potentially including PRR23A4.

Compounds like cycloheximide, puromycin, and rapamycin affect protein synthesis, which is a fundamental process for the production of all cellular proteins. Their action could lead to a decrease in the levels of PRR23A4. MG132, by inhibiting the proteasome, could prevent the degradation of PRR23A4, thereby affecting its turnover. Chloroquine's inhibition of autophagy may also lead to an accumulation of proteins including PRR23A4, due to disrupted degradation pathways. The actin and microtubule cytoskeleton are integral to cellular architecture and intracellular transport, and agents like phalloidin, latrunculin A, blebbistatin, jasplakinolide, nocodazole, paclitaxel, and colchicine disrupt these structures. Since proline-rich proteins like PRR23A4 often play a role in cell signaling and structure, altering the cytoskeleton dynamics with these compounds mayinadvertently affect their function or localization within the cell.
