In present study, we have designed and developed some imidazo-thiadiazole based chalcone derivatives as potential EGFR inhibitors. The designed derivative were screened through molecular docking studies and subjected for synthesis followed by in vitro anticancer activity. Most interestingly many molecules had formed one Pi-donor hydrogen bond (Pi-sulfur) or conventional hydrogen bond with Cys797 which is mutated amino acid residue for the second generation EGFR inhibitors. Many molecules had formed Pi-sulfur bond with Met790 which is mutated amino acid residue and developed resistance to the third generation EGFR inhibitors. All the interaction results presented here suggest these molecule has potential to be developed as most potent 4th generation EGFR inhibitors which will might have effectiveness against triple mutant T790M/C797S EGFR. From this investigation, it was decided to synthesize all the designed molecules with their biological evaluation. In vitro cytotoxicity of synthesized compounds against MCF-7 (Breast cancer) and A549 (Lung cancer) cells were carried out using MTT assay. All the synthesized compounds induced the cytotoxicity to MCF-7 and A549 and displayed good range of IC50 values in between 4 to 59 µm/mL.
