Pharmacology
Cabotegravir is an HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) that inhibits HIV replication by binding to the integrase active site and blocking the strand transfer step of retroviral DNA integration, which is essential for the HIV replication cycle.
GENVOYA is a fixed-dose combination of elvitegravir (an integrase strand transfer inhibitor that prevents HIV-1 DNA integration into host genomic DNA), cobicistat (a CYP3A inhibitor that enhances elvitegravir exposure), emtricitabine (a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that causes viral DNA chain termination), and tenofovir alafenamide (a prodrug converted to tenofovir diphosphate, which inhibits reverse transcriptase through DNA chain termination).
