Mechanism of action

Atazanavir is a protease inhibitor that blocks HIV protease, preventing the maturation of viral particles. Ritonavir is a pharmacokinetic booster that inhibits cytochrome P450 metabolism, increasing atazanavir levels. Tenofovir and the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor block reverse transcriptase, preventing viral RNA conversion to DNA and integration into host cells.
