GENERIC

MECHANISM

Abacavir (ABC)

NRTI — competes with nucleosides, terminates HIV RNA→DNA transcription

Emtricitabine (FTC)

NRTI — competes with nucleosides, terminates HIV RNA→DNA transcription

Lamivudine (3TC)

NRTI — competes with nucleosides, terminates HIV RNA→DNA transcription

Tenofovir DF (TDF)

NtRTI — competes with nucleotides, terminates HIV RNA→DNA transcription

Tenofovir AF (TAF)

NtRTI — competes with nucleotides, terminates HIV RNA→DNA transcription

Zidovudine (AZT)

NRTI — competes with nucleosides, terminates HIV RNA→DNA transcription

Efavirenz (EFV)

NNRTI — non-competitively binds Reverse Transcriptase, inhibits enzyme function

Rilpivirine (RPV)

NNRTI — non-competitively binds Reverse Transcriptase, inhibits enzyme function

Doravirine (DOR)

NNRTI — non-competitively binds Reverse Transcriptase, inhibits enzyme function

Nevirapine (NVP)

NNRTI — non-competitively binds Reverse Transcriptase, inhibits enzyme function

Raltegravir (RAL)

INSTI — inhibits integrase, blocks viral DNA integration into host genome

Dolutegravir (DTG)

INSTI — inhibits integrase, blocks viral DNA integration into host genome

Elvitegravir (EVG)

INSTI — inhibits integrase, blocks viral DNA integration into host genome
