Mechanism of action

Atazanavir and saquinavir are protease inhibitors that block HIV protease, preventing the maturation of infectious viral particles. Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor that blocks HIV reverse transcriptase, preventing conversion of viral RNA to DNA. Together, these agents target multiple steps of the HIV replication cycle to reduce viral load.
