Global density functional descriptors analysis on a series of chloro- and fluoropyrroles provide vital data concerning their overall biochemical activities. In this study, a comprehensive investigation is presented for a series of chloro- and fluoropyrroles using DFT-based descriptors to elucidate physicochemical properties and their relevance to reactivity, charge transfer, site selectivity, and toxicity. Electrophilicity-based charge transfer (ECT) descriptor reveals the fact that chloro- and fluoropyrroles act as electron donors during their interaction with DNA bases. The local descriptor, namely, multiphilic descriptor conveys the activeness of specific sites in chloro- and fluoropyrroles. Further, Toxicity Prediction Komputer Assisted Technology (TOPKAT) studies on carcinogenicity bioassays using four rodent models provide the interesting fact that chloro- and fluoropyrroles exhibit a strong skin sensitization effect in these species.
