Goal: This Special Issue presents the latest advances in the analysis of drug metabolites in various fields, addressing the development of drugs for medical purposes, doping control, new drugs of abuse, etc. Within this framework, this Special Issue covers recent analytical methods focused on the determination of metabolites of pharmaceutical, abuse and/or performance-enhancing drugs in biological samples from in vitro or in vivo studies.
The scope is broad, and the submission of research papers and reviews covering those analytical methods based, among others, on chromatographic and related separation techniques (e.g., capillary electrophoresis), mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques (e.g., ion mobility spectrometry), spectroscopic techniques, or biosensors is encouraged. New sample preparation protocols are also of special interest, since the extraction of metabolites in complex biological samples is one of the main challenges of the metabolite analysis. Finally, this Special Issue also includes metabolomics approaches as a novel strategy to study the mode of action of drugs, which has an impact on the development of pharmacologically analogous drugs, or to discover the consumption of novel abuse drugs not previously reported, but showing an identical or similar mode of action of known abuse drugs.
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 20 June 2022.
