TYBOST
Tybost (cobicistat) is a cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inhibitor indicated to increase the systemic exposure of atazanavir or once-daily darunavir in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. The drug is used in combination with other antiretroviral agents for adult patients and pediatric patients weighing at least 14 kg. It serves as a pharmacokinetic enhancer but is not interchangeable with ritonavir for all protease inhibitor regimens due to differing drug interaction profiles. Use is specifically not recommended with twice-daily darunavir, fosamprenavir, saquinavir, or tipranavir.
How TYBOST Works
Cobicistat acts as a mechanism-based inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzyme. By inhibiting this enzyme, the drug slows the metabolism of co-administered antiretroviral medications that are CYP3A substrates, such as atazanavir and darunavir. This process increases the systemic concentration of these primary HIV-1 treatments in the body, allowing for more effective therapeutic exposure.
