Bioactive 1, 6-naphthyridines were constructed through a one pot multicomponent method by reacting different ketones with malononitrile and pyrrolidine. In vitro anti-inflammatory and 1,1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities for all the synthesized 1, 6-naphthyridines were further carried out. These results clearly show that compound 3e exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity with a percentage inhibition of 81.24±4.46 by membrane stabilization method and 77.85±0.46 by the albumin denaturation method at a concentration of 100 µg ml -1 , which is comparable to the standard Diclofenac. A noticeable DPPH scavenging activity of 82.08±1.81 % was also observed for the synthesized compounds when compared with the standard, Ascorbic acid..
