Cobicistat (GS-9350) is a potent, and selective inhibitor of human cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzymes. Cobicistat is a pharmacokinetic booster of several antiretrovirals. TYBOST (cobicistat) is indicated to increase systemic exposure of atazanavir or darunavir in combination with other antiretroviral agents in the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

Darunavir (trade name Prezista) is an orally active bis-furan-sulfonamide inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) protease. Darunavir was developed by Tibotec Pharmaceuticals (now Janssen R&D Ireland). Darunavir is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult and pediatric patients 3 years of age and older. The drug is co-administered with low-dose ritonavir and other anti-HIV agents. It is the only antiretroviral that has been registered at two different doses, 800/100 mg once-daily or 600/100 mg twice-daily, allowing its administration throughout the entire course of HIV disease, from naive subjects without any HIV-1 resistance to heavily treatment-experienced subjects with widespread triple-class family resistance.

CMX157 is a lipid (1-0-hexadecyloxypropyl) conjugate of the acyclic nucleotide analog tenofovir (TFV) with activity against both wild-type and antiretroviral drug-resistant HIV strains, including multidrug nucleoside/nucleotide analog-resistant viruses. CMX157 was designed to mimic lysophosphatidylcholine to take advantage of natural lipid uptake pathways and to achieve high intracellular concentrations of the active antiviral, with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of TFV against wild-type and mutant HIV. CMX157 demonstrated potential to effectively suppress replication of multiNRTI-resistant (MNR) HIV that cannot be treated with any currently available NRTIs, including TDF. It is in phase II clinical trial for HIV infections in USA and phase Ib portion of the phase I/II trial for Hepatitis B in Thailand (PO).
