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.

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
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
