Abstract

This disclosure relates to compounds, compositions and methods of epigenetically transforming cells. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of generating epigenetically altered cells comprising mixing isolated cells with compositions disclosed herein under conditions such that epigenetically altered cells are formed. In certain embodiments, the disclosure contemplates inducing cells, such as adult somatic cells or cells that are not naturally pluripotent, into cells with chemically induce pluripotency. In certain embodiments, the disclosure contemplates certain compounds disclosed herein, compounds disclosed herein optionally substituted with one or more substituents, derivatives, or salts thereof, for these purposes.
