Pharmacology
Cabotegravir inhibits HIV integrase by binding to the active site and blocking the strand transfer step essential for HIV replication. Rilpivirine is an NNRTI that inhibits HIV-1 replication by non-competitive inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Atazanavir is an azapeptide HIV-1 protease inhibitor that selectively inhibits virus-specific processing of viral Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins in HIV-1-infected cells, preventing formation of mature virions.
