Site of Action of ARV Drugs
• Nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors are the first
antiretroviral drugs, zidovudine, was approved in 1987. structural
similarity of these drugs to the building blocks of nucleic acids (RNA,
DNA)
• Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors bind directly and
noncompetitively to the enzyme reverse eg nevirapine, efavirenz.
• Protease inhibitors: Inhibition of the protease enzyme results in
the release of structurally disorganized and noninfectious viral eg
ritonavir
• Fusion Inhibitor: Enfuvirtide (also known as T-20) is the first, and
thus far the only, fusion inhibitor blocks the formation of the 6-helix
bundle necessary for fusion.Enfuvirtide is not orally bioavailable, a
subcutaneous injection, twice daily.
• Integrase inhibitors: Prevents integration of HIV’s genetic code
into the genetic code of the host cell. e.g. S-1360
