Molecular docking studies were conducted to assess the binding affinities and hydrogen bonding interactions of the synthesized compounds with EGFR and HER2. Notably, compounds 6b, 6d, 6e, and 6m demonstrated strong binding affinities with EGFR (−8.2 to −8.5 kcal/mol), while compounds 6b, 6d, 6e, and 6f showed similar affinities with HER2 (−7.5 to −8.3 kcal/mol). These results are comparable to or better than the affinities of known chemotherapy drugs, such as erlotinib, neratinib, and TAK‐285.
