Date: 14/10/2016

The Zika virus disease (ZVD) currently spreading around the globe has no known treatment  available.  A  database  of  Zika-related  genes  (N=69)  was  subjected  to  chemoinformatics  approaches  using  the  canSAR  protein  annotation  tool.  Ligand-based  druggability  analysis  of  the  database  of  genes  identified  thirty-
five  druggable  targets  encompassing  adhesion  molecules,  cytokines,  enzymes,  growth factors and receptors.
