2 generations
Nevirapine
Efavirenz
Etravirine
Rilpivirine
NNRTI
MOA: noncompetitive inhibition of reverse transcriptase
binds to an hydrophobic allosteric site
only effective against HIV-1 (highly selective inhibitors of HIV-1 RT)
Pharmacokinetics: catabolized in the liver by CYP enzymes
Administration: oral
General adverse effects:
Liver and GI disorder
Skin reactions – up to Stevens-Johnson syndrome
1st generation NNRTI
Resistance to the drug is A single point-mutation causes total cross-resistance for all 1st generation agents
drugs …

2nd generation NNRTI
Etravirine
Rilpivirine
Nevirapine
NNRTI
penetrates well in the CNS
urine excretion
AE: Liver and GI disorder
Skin reactions & CNS problem !!!

NNRTI
pH dependant absorption (given with PPIs)
feces excretion

Liver and GI disorder
Skin reactions
and can cause CNS problems and it is highly teratogenic, nightmares
