Pharmacology
Odefsey is a fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine (an NRTI that inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by chain termination), rilpivirine (an NNRTI that non-competitively inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase), and tenofovir alafenamide (a prodrug that is converted to tenofovir, an NRTI inhibiting HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by 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.
