Although stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT) kinase is responsible for various malignant human cancers, the presence of constitutively active gain-of-function mutants has made it difficult to discover new anticancer agents using c-KIT as the target protein. To identify the common inhibitors of wild-type c-KIT and the most abundant gain-of-function mutant (D816V), the virtual screening of natural products was performed for the two target proteins in parallel with the scoring function improved by implementing a sophisticated solvation free energy term. As a result, four common inhibitors of natural origin are found with biochemical potencies ranging from low micromolar to submicromolar levels. The results of extensive docking simulations show that although the natural product inhibitors establish weaker hydrophobic interactions with the D816V mutant than with the wild type, they exhibit a little higher inhibitory activity for the former than the latter by strengthening the hydrogen-bond interactions to a sufficient extent. Of the four natural-product inhibitors, (Z)-6-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)benzofuran-3(2H)-one (3) is anticipated to serve as a new molecular core for the structure activity relationship studies to optimize the biochemical potencies because it exhibits good inhibitory activity against both the wild type and D816V mutant despite its low molecular weight (268.3 amu).
