Abstract
Drug of abuse or illicit drugs have become a serious health issue and global evils during the last few decades. Their detection is a significant area of research, for preventing illegal traffic and toxic effects on human health and society. Numerous analytical methods, based on diverse principles, have been developed for the detection of drugs of abuse. The core intention of present review is to pioneer the reader with the varieties of drugs of abuses (availability, formation, and use and ill-use) as well detection techniques developed and employed in the past few years. The study includes a comparative review of analytical detection techniques. Effectiveness of chemical sensors over other analytical techniques is particularly emphasized.
Keywords: Analytical detection methods, chemical sensors, drugs of abuse, verities of illicit drugs.

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
