Pharmacology
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).
Lenacapavir is a multistage, selective HIV-1 capsid inhibitor that directly binds to capsid protein (p24) subunits in hexamers, inhibiting multiple essential steps of the viral lifecycle including capsid-mediated nuclear uptake of proviral DNA, virus assembly and release, and capsid core formation.
