Abstract
Benzodiazepines (BDZs) are used in clinics for anxiolysis, anticonvulsants, sedative hypnosis, and muscle relaxation. They have high consumptions worldwide because of their easy availability and potential addiction. They are often used for suicide or criminal practices such as abduction and drug-facilitated sexual assault. The pharmacological effects of using small doses of BDZs and their detections from complex biological matrices are challenging. Efficient pretreatment methods followed by accurate and sensitive detections are necessary. Herein, pretreatment methods for the extraction, enrichment, and preconcentration of BDZs as well as the strategies for their screening, identification, and quantitation developed in the past five years have been reviewed. Moreover, recent advances in various methods are summarized. Characteristics and advantages of each method are encompassed. Future directions of the pretreatment and detection methods for BDZs are also reviewed.
