Chalcones, pyridines, and pyrimidines are privileged heterocyclic scaffolds in medicinal chemistry, with inherent anticancer potential, structural flexibility, and good biocompatibility. Molecular hybridization, a rational drug design strategy, has been widely applied to construct chalcone pyridine/pyrimidine hybrids by covalently conjugating these bioactive moieties. These hybrid molecules integrate the dual pharmacological merits of the parent skeletons to produce synergistic anticancer effects and mitigate the drawbacks of single pharmacophore agents. This review summarizes recent advances in anticancer chalcone pyridine/pyrimidine hybrids reported from 2020 to date. We compile 39 hybrid series built on two major scaffold classes: chalcone-pyridine and chalcone-(fused)pyrimidine frameworks.

Major translational bottlenecks are also outlined: most studies rely heavily on cellular level assays, while comprehensive pharmacokinetic, toxicological, and formulation investigations remain insufficient.
