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.
HIV-1 attachment inhibitor; fostemsavir is a prodrug hydrolyzed to temsavir, which binds directly to the gp120 subunit of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein and selectively inhibits the interaction between the virus and cellular CD4 receptors, preventing viral attachment and subsequent entry into host cells.
