Pharmacology
DELSTRIGO combines doravirine, an NNRTI that non-competitively inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase; lamivudine, a nucleoside analogue NRTI that terminates HIV-1 DNA chain elongation after phosphorylation to lamivudine triphosphate; and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, a nucleotide analogue prodrug that, following conversion to tenofovir diphosphate, competitively inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and causes DNA chain termination.
Raltegravir inhibits the catalytic activity of HIV-1 integrase, an HIV-1-encoded enzyme required for viral replication, preventing integration of unintegrated linear HIV-1 DNA into the host cell genome; it is eliminated primarily via UGT1A1-mediated glucuronidation and does not inhibit or induce cytochrome P450 enzymes.
