520 |a The CX bond in halobenzenes (XCl, Br) exhibits a dual character, being electron-deficient along the CX direction, and electron-rich on its flanks. We sought to amplify both features by resorting to electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, respectively. This was done by quantum chemistry (QC) computations in the recognition sites of three protein targets: farnesyl transferase, coagulation factor Xa, and the HIV-1 integrase. In this context, some substituents, notably fluorine, CF3 , and NHCH3 , afforded significant overall gains in the binding energies as compared to the parent halobenzene, in the 2-5 kcal/mol range. In fact, we found that some di- and up to tetra-substitutions enabled even larger gains than those they contribute separately owing to many-body effects. Moreover, desolvation was also found to be a key contributor to the energy balances. As a consequence, some particular substituents, contributing to reduce the halobenzene dipole moment, accordingly reduced solvation: this factor acted in synergy with their enhancement of the intermolecular interaction energies along and around the CX bond. We could thus leverage the "Janus-like" properties of such a bond and the fact that it can be tuned and possibly amplified by well-chosen substituents. We propose a simple yet rigorous computational strategy resorting to QC to prescreen novel substituted halobenzenes. The QC results on the recognition sites then set benchmarks to validate polarizable molecular mechanics/dynamics approaches used to handle the entirety of the inhibitor-protein complex
