Tenofovir + lamivudine + raltegravir

ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases · Phase 3 active Small molecule

Tenofovir and lamivudine are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) that block HIV replication by inhibiting viral DNA synthesis. Raltegravir is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) that blocks HIV replication by inhibiting viral integration into the host genome.

Mechanism of action

Tenofovir and lamivudine work by competing with the natural building blocks of DNA, thereby preventing the virus from replicating. Raltegravir works by blocking the enzyme integrase, which is essential for the virus to integrate its genetic material into the host cell's DNA.
