Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine, a fused hetero-bicyclic nucleus containing pyridine and pyrimidine rings has attained the momentary attention in the sphere of multicomponent synthetic protocol and medicinal chemist. Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derived drugs have manifested diverse pharmacological activities, particularly, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and cytokine inhibitors etc. The present review illustrates various modern synthetic strategies adopted, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) aspects and discloses the extensive crucial biological properties (anticancer, anti-infectious, anti-diabetics and CNS agents) of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines.
