Pharmacology
EVOTAZ is a fixed-dose combination of atazanavir, an HIV-1 protease inhibitor that prevents viral Gag and Gag-Pol polyprotein processing, and cobicistat, a CYP3A inhibitor that increases atazanavir systemic exposure.
Enfuvirtide is an HIV-1 fusion inhibitor that binds to the first heptad-repeat (HR1) domain of the gp41 subunit of the viral envelope glycoprotein, preventing the conformational changes required for fusion of viral and cellular membranes and thereby blocking HIV-1 entry into CD4+ cells.
