Description
Summary:The determination of drugs in biological fluids is essential across various fields, including toxicological analysis, pharmacokinetic studies, and the development of new pharmaceutical products, among others. However, the complexity of biological matrices—due to the presence of endogenous compounds and the typically low concentrations of target analytes—needs efficient sample preparation strategies alongside high-performance instrumentation to achieve the sensitivity and selectivity required in modern analytical chemistry. In response to these challenges, recent advancements have focused on the development of advanced solid materials and their integration with sample preparation techniques. This review highlights recent progress in sorbents with enhanced selectivity, engineered materials such as crystalline frameworks, and the use of biopolymers as natural sorbents for drug analysis in biofluids. Additionally, the application of 3D-printed materials for the fabrication of extraction devices is presented. The article also provides insights into emerging trends and future directions in this evolving field.
