Mechanism of action

AZT and 3TC are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) that block the enzyme responsible for converting HIV RNA into DNA. IDV and RTV are protease inhibitors that prevent the cleavage of viral polyproteins, blocking the maturation of infectious viral particles. Together, this quadruple therapy targets two critical steps in the HIV replication cycle.
