(3E)-4-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)but-3-en-2-one

(3E)-4-(1-methyl–1H-indol–3–yl)but–3–en–2–one is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the n‑alkylindoles class, characterized by an indole moiety with a methyl group at the nitrogen and a butenone side chain. It has been identified as an experimental compound with potential biological activities, including anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. Its primary known molecular target is histone acetyltransferase KAT2B, suggesting it may act as an epigenetic modulator by influencing histone acetylation and gene expression[1][4]. There are no approved therapeutic indications or marketed products containing this compound.
