Although several HDAC inhibitors, including vorinostat (SAHA), belinostat, panobinostat (LBH-589), romidepsin (FK2280), have been approved by the Food and Drug Agency (United Stated), the clinical application of these drugs is limited to certain forms of cancers (e.g., T-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma) [149] and to date, there is no clinical trial evaluating the antidepressant effect of HDAC inhibitors in depression. Here, HDAC9 is linked to depressive disorder.
