Histone deacetylase inhibitors induce changes in gene expression that lead to cellular differentiation and reversal of the transformed phenotype. In addition, acetylation of centromeric chromatin and non-histone proteins also likely plays a role in cytotoxicity due to romi depsin. Interest in clinical development of these agents has been spurred by the responses observed in patients with peripheral or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma to romidepsin, previously FK228 or depsipeptide.
