Abstract
Microextraction techniques have attracted the attention of many researchers working in the field of bioanalysis due to their unique advantages, mainly in downsizing the scale of sample preparation steps. In parallel, analytical derivatization offers a powerful combination in terms of additional sensitivity, selectivity and compatibility with modern separation techniques. The aim of this review is to discuss the most recent advances in bioanalytical sample preparation based on the combination of microextraction and analytical derivatization. Both innovative fundamental reports and analyte-targeted applications are included and discussed. Dispersive liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase microextraction are the most common techniques that typically combined with derivatization, while the development of novel and greener protocols is receiving substantial consideration in the field of analytical chemistry.

Abstract
A simple, selective, rapid, sensitive and less costly green automated solid phase extraction bio-analytical high-performance liquid chromatographic-based technique with fluorescence detection (Aut-SPE-BA-HPLC-FL) for the quantification of levofloxacin in human serum samples has been developed and validated. The serum samples were loaded into the chromatographic system without prior treatment and then injected into short (20 mm × 4.6 mm, 20 µm) protein-coated (PC) µBondapak CN (µBCN) silica pre-column (PC-µBCN-pre-column). Levofloxacin was retained and pre-concentrated on the head of the PC-µBCN-pre-column, while proteins and other polar components were eliminated using phosphate buffer saline (PBS), pH 7.4, as the first mobile phase in the extraction step. Levofloxacin is then transferred to the analytical column; ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 (150 mm × 46 mm, 5 µm), through the aid of a column-switching valve technique, on-throughs the elution mode using the second mobile phase containing a methanol and phosphate buffer (0.05 M, pH 5) in a ratio of 70:30 (v/v). Levofloxacin signals were detected using a fluorescence detector operated at excitation/emission wavelengths of 295/500 nm. The proposed Aut-SPE-BA-HPLC-FL methodology showed linearity over a levofloxacin concentration range of 10–10,000 ng/mL (r2 = 0.9992), with good recoveries ranging from 87.12 to 97.55%. Because of the validation qualities in terms of linearity, recovery, precision, accuracy, selectivity and robustness, the Aut-SPE-BA-HPLC-FL method has been used in some clinical trials for therapeutic drug monitoring and the pharmacokinetic study of levofloxacin in human serum.

Abstract
A new sorbent material based on modified clay with ionic liquid immobilized into an agarose film was developed as part of this study. It was applied to determine organochlorine pollutants, like disinfection byproducts, through headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-electron capture detection (HS-SPME-GC-ECD). The disinfection byproducts determined in this study were used as model molecules because they were volatile compounds, with proven severe effects on human health. Their presence in aquatic environments is in trace concentrations (from pg L-1 to mg L-1). They are classified as emergent pollutants and their determination is a challenge for analytical chemists. The parameters which affected the extraction efficiency, i.e., number and distance between SPME discs, salt concentration, the temperature of extraction, extraction time, and desorption time, were optimized. A wide linear dynamic range of 10-1000 ng mL-1 and coefficients of determination better than 0.997 were achieved. The limits of detection and the limits of quantitation were found in the ranges of (1.7-3.7) ng mL-1 and (5.6-9.9) ng mL-1, respectively. The precision, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD), was better than 8%. The developed sorbent exhibits good adsorption affinity. The applicability of the proposed methodology for the analysis of trihalomethanes in environmental and water samples showed recoveries in the range of 86-95%. Finally, the newly created method fully complied with the principles of green chemistry. Due to the fact that the sorbent holder was made of agarose, which is a wholly biodegradable material, sorbent clay is a widespread material in nature. Moreover, the reagents intercalated into the montmorillonite are new green solvents, and during the whole procedure, low amounts of organic solvents were used.

Abstract
Sample preparation is playing an increasingly important role in sample analysis. The enrichment efficiency of the target and the removal effect of the sample matrix are strongly dependent on the extraction material. Therefore, the development of efficient extraction materials is an important research focus in the field of sample preparation. Various advanced materials such as nanomaterials, mesoporous materials, ionic liquids, aerogels, carbon materials, metal-organic frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks have been introduced to produce a diverse range of extraction materials for sample preparation. Owing to its unique physical and chemical properties, graphene, an excellent carbon nanomaterial, has attracted significant attention in different areas. Due to their unique advantages of large surface area, large π-electrons, excellent adsorption properties, abundant functional groups, and facile chemical modification, graphene-based materials have displayed excellent extraction performance for diverse analytes. Furthermore, graphene-based extraction materials have been applied to pretreat real samples from different fields. This paper provides an overview of the recent advances in graphene sample preparation from 2020 to date. The manuscript covers the use of graphene, graphene oxide, and the related functionalized materials as sorbents, as well as their specific applications in cartridge solid-phase extraction, dispersive solid-phase extraction, magnetic solid-phase extraction, stir bar sorptive extraction, fiber solid-phase microextraction, and in-tube solid-phase microextraction. To prevent the aggregation of graphene, three-dimensional graphene, porous graphene aerogels, graphene-modified silica, and stainless-steel mesh were developed for cartridge solid-phase extraction. Furthermore, some graphene-based extraction materials were used to develop online solid-phase extraction, which allowed for automatic and high-throughput tests. Graphene nanosheets and their hybrid materials with molybdenum disulfide or zinc oxide nanoparticles have been applied to dispersive solid-phase extraction, and several types of contaminants, including metal ions, bisphenol endocrine disruptors, paraben preservatives, and phthalates, could be captured. By combination with magnetic materials using the coprecipitation method or via chemical post-modification, many magnetic graphene extraction materials have been produced for magnetic solid-phase extraction. The introduction of magnetic graphene not only enhanced the extraction efficiency but also simplified the test process, making it highly suitable for complex samples such as food and biological samples. Similar to magnetic solid-phase extraction, stir bar sorptive extraction is a very simple and efficient extraction method that shows good extraction performance for metal ions and organic pollutants from environmental water, medicines in urine, and organic pollutants in cosmetics. In addition to its excellent applicability to solid-phase extraction, graphene delivered satisfactory performance for solid-phase microextraction. Graphene has been used as an extraction coating for the extraction of fibers or tubes by coupling solid-phase microextraction with chromatographic detection, and many kinds of organic pollutants, including polychlorinated biphenyls, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, toluene, xylenes, organophosphorus pesticides, phenoxy acid herbicides, and antibiotics, in environmental or biological samples have been successfully determined. The extraction mechanism, including π-π, electrostatic, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and hydrogen-bonding interactions, is also discussed. Because of the mixed-mode interactions and rich functionalization, graphene-based extraction materials could effectively capture and selectively enrich different types of species. These extraction or microextraction techniques have been coupled with detection methods such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and atomic absorption spectroscopy and widely used in environmental monitoring, food safety, and biochemical analysis. The future development of graphene in the field of sample pretreatment focuses on the following aspects: 1) functionalization of graphene with specific groups such as affinity groups, chelating groups, and molecularly imprinted sites to achieve unique extraction selectivity; 2) combination of graphene with the advanced materials, including covalent organic frameworks, metal organic frameworks, aerogels, and nanomaterials, thus realizing the complementary advantages between materials, so that the hybrid graphene materials find broad application prospects in sample preparation; 3) combination of electromagnetic materials with graphene to form electromagnetic composites, as well as the use of electromagnetic fields to improve extraction selectivity and efficiency; 4) exploiting the good performance of graphene-based materials to overcome the difficulty encountered in the pretreatment of complex samples; 5) development of more green methods to prepare graphene-based extraction materials or functionalize graphene, in line with the trends in green chemistry; 6) application of more graphene-based materials to online sample preparation for meeting the development trends in the field of analytical chemistry.

Abstract
Sample preparation is an indispensable part of detection of complex samples in pharmaceutical analysis. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has obtained a lot of attention due to its advantages of time saving, less solvent and easily automation. A variety of functional materials are used as sorbents in SPME to carry out selective and high extraction. This review centers around the recent applications of organic molecule-based framework porous materials, such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as SPME coating materials mainly focus on pharmaceutical analysis in food, environment, and biological samples. Four representative extraction devices are introduced, including on-fiber SPME, in-tube SPME, thin film SPME, stir bar SPME. The application prospect of other organic porous materials as sorbents for pharmaceutical analysis are also discussed, such as hyper crosslinked polymers (HCPs) and conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs). The progresses and discusses are provided to offer references for further research focusing on application and development of organic molecule-based framework porous materials in the field of SPME.

Abstract
In this study, an "all-in-one" microextraction device was designed and fabricated for the extraction of doxorubicin and its two metabolites from rat plasma prior to their determination by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to fluorescence detector. A sol-gel-based sorbent was synthesized in situ and incorporated within two conjoined porous polypropylene tubes together with a cylindrical magnetic bar in order to avoid the need of an external stirring bar. Among other sorbents investigated, the moderately polar sol-gel poly(tetrahydrofuran) was found to be advantageous due to its high affinity toward the target analytes. Systematic investigation of the critical parameters affecting the adsorption and the desorption step was carried out. Due to the "built-in" filtration mechanism of the porous microextraction capsules, the isolation of the analytes was performed directly in the plasma matrix without any previous sample pretreatment (i.e., protein precipitation, centrifugation, etc.). The proposed method was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, and stability according to the FDA guidelines. The limits of detection ranged between 1 - 2 ng mL-1 while the lower limits of quantitation of the analytes were calculated as 10 ng mL-1. The accuracy (% relative error) was found within -9.7 - 15.3% under both intra- and inter-day conditions. The precision was better than 13.4% in all cases. ComplexGAPI index was employed to present the green attributes of the developed protocol from the preparation of the microextraction device to the final determination of the analytes. Finally, the applicability of the fabricated stand-alone extraction device was demonstrated in the analysis of the target analytes in rat plasma after intravenous administration of doxorubicin in order to assess its pharmacokinetic profile.

Abstract
The present investigation utilised the quick and easy SPME/LC-MS method to determine selected narcotic substances and their metabolites in whole blood. The study included qualitative analysis and validation of the method. Analytes were determined in the linearity range of 25−300 ng/mL. The precision during and between days (in general CV < 13.41%), and the LOD which results in between 0.36 and 11.08 ng/mL, and the LOQ between 1.20 and 36.90 ng/mL were investigated. The validation results obtained, as well as the results of subsequent in-laboratory tests, confirmed the applicability of the method in the analysis of blood samples. An attempt to apply the method to the analysis of bone marrow samples has yielded promising results; however, more detailed studies are needed in this area.

Abstract
Fiber-in-tube solid-phase microextraction (fiber-in-tube SPME) with short capillary longitudinally packed with fine fibers as extraction device allows direct coupling to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems to determine weakly volatile or thermally labile compounds. This technique associates the advantages of miniaturized and analytical on-line systems. Major achievements include the use of different capillaries (fused-silica, copper, stainless steel, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), or poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE)) that are packed with neat fibers (Zylon®, silk, or Kevlar 29®) or fibers (stainless steel, basalt, or carbon) functionalized with selective coatings (aerogels, ionic liquids (ILs), polymeric ionic liquids (PILs), molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), or conducting polymer). This review outlines the fundamental theory and the innovative extraction materials for fiber-in-tube SPME-HPLC systems and highlights their main applications in environmental and bioanalyses.

Abstract
Pesticides are excessively used in agriculture to improve the quality of crops by eliminating the negative effects of pests. Among the different groups of pesticides, triazine pesticides are a group of compounds that contain a substituted C3 H3 N3 heterocyclic ring, and they are widely used. Triazine pesticides can be dangerous for humans as well as for the aquatic environment because of their high toxicity and endocrine disrupting effect. However, the concentration of these chemical compounds in water samples is low. Moreover, other compounds that may exist in the water samples can interfere with the determination of triazine pesticides. As a result, it is important to develop sample preparation methods that provide preconcentration of the target analyte and sufficient clean-up of the samples. Recently, a wide variety of novel microextraction and miniaturized extraction techniques (e.g., solid-phase microextraction and liquid-phase microextraction, stir bar sorptive extraction, fabric phase sorptive extraction, dispersive solid-phase extraction, and magnetic solid-phase extraction) have been developed. In this review, we aim to discuss the recent advances regarding the extraction of triazine pesticides from environmental water samples. Emphasis will be given to novel sample preparation methods and novel sorbents developed for sorbent-based extraction techniques.

Abstract
Bioanalysis is the scientific field of the quantitative determination of xenobiotics (e.g., drugs and their metabolites) and biotics (e.g., macromolecules) in biological matrices. The most common samples in bioanalysis include blood (i.e., serum, plasma and whole blood) and urine. However, the analysis of alternative biosamples, such as hair and nails are gaining more and more attention. The main limitations for the determination of small organic compounds in biological samples is their low concentration in these matrices, in combination with the sample complexity. Therefore, a sample preparation/analyte preconcentration step is typically required. Currently, the development of novel microextraction and miniaturized extraction techniques, as well as novel adsorbents for the analysis of biosamples, in compliance with the requirements of Green Analytical Chemistry, is in the forefront of research in analytical chemistry. Graphene oxide (GO) is undoubtedly a powerful adsorbent for sample preparation that has been successfully coupled with a plethora of green extraction techniques. GO is composed of carbon atoms in a sp2 single-atom layer of a hybrid connection, and it exhibits high surface area, as well as good mechanical and thermal stability. In this review, we aim to discuss the applications of GO and functionalized GO derivatives in microextraction and miniaturized extraction techniques for the determination of small organic molecules in biological samples.

Abstract
The quantitative determination of xenobiotic compounds, as well as biotics in biological matrices, is generally described with the term bioanalysis. Due to the complexity of biofluids, in combination with the low concentration of the small molecules, their determination in biological matrices is a challenging procedure. Apart from the conventional solid-phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, protein precipitation, and direct injection approaches, nowadays, a plethora of microextraction and miniaturized extraction techniques have been reported. Furthermore, the development and evaluation of novel extraction adsorbents for sample preparation has become a popular research field. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel materials composed of metal ions or clusters in coordination with organic linkers. Unequivocally, MOFs are gaining more and more attention in analytical chemistry due to their superior properties, including high surface area and tunability of pore size and functionality. This review discusses the utilization of MOFs in the sample preparation of biological samples for the green extraction of small organic molecules. Their common preparation and characterization strategies are discussed, while emphasis is given to their applications for green sample preparation.

Abstract
Sildenafil is a potent selective, reversible inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Whilst twenty years have passed since its original approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), sildenafil enters the fourth industrial era catalyzing the treatment advances against erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. The plethora of detailed clinical data accumulated and the two sildenafil analogues marketed, namely tadalafil and vardenafil, signify the relevant therapeutic and commercial achievements. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior of the drug appears complex, interdependent and of critical importance whereas the treatment of special population cohorts is considered. The diversity of the available formulation strategies and their compatible administration routes, extend from tablets to bolus suspensions and from per os to intravenous, respectively, inheriting the associated strengths and weaknesses. In this comprehensive review, we attempt to elucidate the multi-disciplinary elements spanning the knowledge fields of chemical synthesis, physicochemical properties, pharmacology, clinical applications, biopharmaceutical profile, formulation approaches for different routes of administration and analytical strategies, currently employed to guide the development of sildenafil-based compositions.

Abstract
Porous frameworks are a term of attracting solid materials assembled by interconnection of molecules and ions. These trendy materials due to high chemical and thermal stability, well-defined pore size and structure, and high effective surface area gained attention to employ as extraction phase in sample pretreatment methods before analytical analysis. Solid-phase microextraction is an important subclass of sample preparation technique that up to now different configurations of this method have been introduced to get adaptable with different environments and analytical instruments. In this review, theoretical aspect and different modes of solid-phase microextraction method are investigated. Different classes of porous frameworks and their applications as extraction phase in the proposed microextraction method are evaluated. Types and features of supporting substrates and coating procedures of porous frameworks on them are reviewed. At the end, the prospective and the challenges ahead in this field are discussed.

Abstract
In-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) was developed about 24 years ago as an effective sample preparation technique using an open tubular capillary column as an extraction device. IT-SPME is useful for micro-concentration, automated sample cleanup, and rapid online analysis, and can be used to determine the analytes in complex matrices simple sample processing methods such as direct sample injection or filtration. IT-SPME is usually performed in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography using an online column switching technology, in which the entire process from sample preparation to separation to data analysis is automated using the autosampler. Furthermore, IT-SPME minimizes the use of harmful organic solvents and is simple and labor-saving, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly green analytical technique. Various operating systems and new sorbent materials have been developed to improve its extraction efficiency by, for example, enhancing its sorption capacity and selectivity. In addition, IT-SPME methods have been widely applied in environmental analysis, food analysis and bioanalysis. This review describes the present state of IT-SPME technology and summarizes its current trends and future perspectives, including method development and strategies to improve extraction efficiency.
