The drug TELADOMYL 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
Tenofovir disoproxil
UNII OTT9J7900I - TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL FUMARATE
|
|
Tenofovir disoproxil is absorbed and converted to the active substance tenofovir, which is a nucleoside monophosphate analogue. Tenofovir is then converted to the active metabolite, tenofovir diphosphate, an obligate chain terminator, by constitutively expressed cellular enzymes. Tenofovir diphosphate inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and the HBV polymerase by direct binding competition with the natural deoxyribonucleotide substrate and, after incorporation into DNA, by DNA chain termination. |
|
3
Dolutegravir
UNII 1Q1V9V5WYQ - DOLUTEGRAVIR SODIUM
|
|
Dolutegravir inhibits HIV integrase by binding to the integrase active site and blocking the strand transfer step of retroviral Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) integration which is essential for the HIV replication cycle. |
