“…4,5 Although DUL is deemed to be one of the main antidepressant drugs, the development of efficient and exact methods for the evaluation of this active compound are of interest. Several analytical methods are implemented in the determination of DUL including potentiometry, [6][7][8] spectrofluorimetry, [9][10][11] spectrophotometry, [12][13][14][15] capillary zone electrophoresis, 16,17 gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, 18 high-performance liquid chromatography, [19][20][21][22][23] liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] high performance thin layer chromatography. 32,33 Although developed methods are applicable with high sensitivity, they are not efficient in the detection of DUL in real time of consumption, requiring sample pretreatment preparations, a longer analysis time and involve the use of expensive apparatuses.…”
