Romidepsin|also known as FK228 or depsipeptide|is a potent and selective inhibitor of HDAC1 and HDAC2|which are associated with the regulation of re-expression of silenced tumor suppressor genes. It was the first HDAC inhibitor to manifest anti-tumor activity and originally isolated from a rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium|Chromobacterium violaceum|found in a Japanese soil sample. Romidepsin exhibits a stronger inhibition towards HDAC1 and HDAC2 enzymes (class I)|removing acetyl groups from the lysine residues of N-terminal histone tails and maintaining a more open and transcriptionally active chromatin state|than HDAC4 and HDAC6 enzymes (class II). Besides HDAC inhibition|romidepsin is also able to induce cell cycle arrest|cellular differentiation|apoptosis and alteration of gene expression in adult malignancies.
