    Mechanism of action of Trivir 30 Tablet

    Trivir 30 tablet contains Lamivudine 150mg, stavudine 30mg and nevirapine 200mg. Lamivudine is HIV-1 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Lamivudine is phosphorylated to its active forms lamivudine triphosphate that is incorporated into the nucleotide and inhibits the action of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Stavudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that is phosphorylated into stavudine -5- triphosphate. Stavudine-5-triphosphate battle with deoxythymidine triphosphate and incorporate themselves into the DNA of HIV molecular structure. After they incorporate within the DNA of HIV molecule the further process such as transcription, reverse transcriptase enzyme is inhibited. Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that binds to reverse transcriptase of HIV-1 particle thus blocks RNA and DNA dependant DNA polymerase actions that is required for replication of HIV-1. Thus, the active HIV molecule becomes inactive and further reproduction and multiplication process is stopped.
