Abstract

The NS3 protease and NS5 polymerase structures of the Zika virus were constructed and processed using a virtual screening pipeline. MM-PBSA calculations show that some of the ligands found by the pipeline demonstrate a good affinity to vulnerable sites in both proteins. The anti-hypertension drug eprosartan is among the selected ligands; and inhibition of the tick-borne encephalitis virus has already been confirmed in vivo by a previous study. In the present study phytochemicals bisabolol and andrographolide are suggested as the candidates for antiviral therapy.
