Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and pesticides are important analytes of interest in clinical, environmental, and food analyses for ensuring public health. Sample pretreatment steps are often prerequisites for the quantitative analysis of these compounds, which are generally present in low concentrations in samples with complex matrices. In compliance with the current trend towards green analytical chemistry, the replacement of conventional toxic organic solvents with ecofriendly and safe solvents has been pursued in developing sample pretreatment methods. Subsequent to several reports in 2017, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been increasingly applied as desirable alternative solvents in numerous types of sample pretreatment methods for the analysis of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. The present review summarizes analytical methods involving DESs as extraction solvents and as the reaction media or functional materials for preparing adsorbents to quantify pharmaceuticals and pesticides in various matrices.
