Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) are a group of antiviral drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, and other viral infections. RTIs work by preventing reverse transcriptase, a viral enzyme, from copying the genetic material (RNA) of a virus into the genetic material (DNA) of a host cell. This prevents the virus from replicating and spreading within the body. RTIs are a key part of antiretroviral therapies that help reduce the spread of HIV and improve the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS.
