Abstract: The broad spectrum of biological activity of 2,6-naphthyridine, one of the six
structural isomers of pyridopyridine, is the main reason for the development of new compounds
containing this scaffold. This review paper aims to present various methods for obtaining
2,6-naphthyridine analogues and their biological activity, which have been reported
in the scientific literature. Compounds containing the 2,6-naphthyridine moiety can be isolated
from plants or obtained synthetically from various substrates: pyridine derivatives,
other heterocyclic derivatives, or acyclic compounds. Biological investigations have shown
that these compounds exhibit various biological activity; among others, they have an effect
on the central nervous system or anticancer or antimicrobial activity.
