الوصف: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a pivotal target in cancer therapy due to its significance within the tyrosine kinase family. EGFR inhibitors like AG-1478 and PD153035, featuring a 4-anilinoquinazoline moiety, have garnered global attention for their potent therapeutic activities. While pre-clinical studies have highlighted the significant impact of halogen substitution at the C3’-anilino position on drug potency, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study investigates the influence of halogen substitution (X = H, F, Cl, Br, I) on the structure, properties, and spectroscopy of halogen-substituted 4-anilinoquinazoline tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) using time-dependent density functional methods (TD-DFT) with the B3LYP functional. Our calculations revealed that halogen substitution did not induce significant changes in the three-dimensional conformation of the TKIs but led to noticeable alterations in electronic properties, such as dipole moment and spatial extent, impacting interactions at the EGFR binding site. The UV–visible spectra show that more potent TKI-X compounds typically have shorter wavelengths, with bromine’s peak wavelength at 326.71 nm and hydrogen, with the lowest IC50 nM, shifting its lambda max to 333.17 nm, indicating a correlation between potency and spectral characteristics. Further analysis of the four lowest-lying conformers of each TKI-X, along with their crystal structures from the EGFR database, confirms that the most potent conformer is often not the global minimum structure but one of the low-lying conformers. The more potent TKI-Cl and TKI-Br exhibit larger deviations (RMSD > 0.65 Å) from their global minimum structures compared to other TKI-X (RMSD < 0.15 Å), indicating that potency is associated with greater flexibility. Dipole moments of TKI-X correlate with drug potency (ln(IC50 nM)), with TKI-Cl and TKI-Br showing significantly higher dipole moments (>8.0 Debye) in both their global minimum and crystal structures. Additionally, optical spectral shifts correlate with potency, as TKI-Cl and TKI-Br exhibit blue shifts from their global minimum structures, in contrast to other TKI-X. This suggests that optical reporting can effectively probe drug potency and conformation changes.
