Key result
Electrochemical sensors provide a flexible, fast, simple, highly sensitive, and cost-effective approach for analyzing antiviral drugs in biological samples and dosage forms.
Why the study?
The rapid increase in antiviral drug use has created a need for fast, selective, reliable, and accurate analytical methods for biological samples.
This review highlights the advantages and recent developments of electrochemical sensors for the rapid and sensitive analysis of antiviral drugs.
Urges expanded antiviral design research amid rising threats; leaves open optimal scaffolds and targets for clinical translation.
Viruses cause serious infectious diseases that threaten human health. Antiviral drugs are widely used to treat viral infectious diseases caused by viruses. Nowadays, the spread of infectious diseases and global epidemics and their serious adverse effects on human health have led to a rapid increase in the use of antiviral drugs. Moreover, these drugs are used to reduce the symptoms of viruses, prevent their spread, and treat the disease as soon as possible. Therefore, it is important to design and develop fast, selective, reliable and accurate methods for analyzing biological samples in the shortest time possible. One of the most used methods in analyzing antivirals is electroanalytical methods. Electroanalytical methods attract attention due to their many advantages compared to traditional methods, such as being flexible, fast, simple, highly sensitive, cheap and easy to prepare. In this review, research conducted in recent years with electrochemical sensors in biological samples and drug dosage forms of antiviral drugs has been examined and explained in detail. In addition, the focus is on the structures of the sensors and the methods used, how the processes for the analysis of antiviral drugs are progressing, and the latest developments. Finally, this review will shed light on the future methods and analyses that will be developed for antiviral drugs.
