The drug INOXOR contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
1
Lamivudine
UNII 2T8Q726O95 - LAMIVUDINE
|
Lamivudine is a nucleoside analogue which has activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). Its main mode of action is as a chain terminator of viral reverse transcription. |
2
Nevirapine
UNII 99DK7FVK1H - NEVIRAPINE
|
Nevirapine is a NNRTI of HIV-1. Nevirapine is a non-competitive inhibitor of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, but it does not have a biologically significant inhibitory effect on the HIV-2 reverse transcriptase or on eukaryotic DNA polymerases α, β, γ, or δ. |
3
Stavudine
UNII BO9LE4QFZF - STAVUDINE
|
Stavudine, a thymidine analogue, is phosphorylated by cellular kinases to stavudine triphosphate which inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase by competing with the natural substrate, thymidine triphosphate. It also inhibits viral DNA synthesis by causing DNA chain termination due to a lack of the 3'-hydroxyl group necessary for DNA elongation. Cellular DNA polymerase γ is also sensitive to inhibition by stavudine triphosphate, while cellular polymerases α and β are inhibited at concentrations 4,000-fold and 40-fold higher, respectively, than that needed to inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase. |
This drug has been classified in the anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification system as follows:
