Mechanism of action
Synergistically reduce viral resistance and inhibit reverse transcriptase via DNA chain termination. Lamivudine: NRTI; following phosphorylation, inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase by viral DNA chain termination; cytosine analog. Zidovudine: NRTI; interferes with HIV viral RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (inhibits viral replication); thymidine analog. Nevirapine: Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI); activity against HIV-1 by binding to reverse transcriptase, and thereby blocking RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase actions including HIV-1 replication. Does not require intracellular phosphorylation for activity.
