Abstract
The uncontrolled use of drugs endangers human health and causes drastic economic losses and irreparable consequences. Today, there is a great demand to introduce accurate, potent, real-time, and rapid methodologies for sensitive detection and quantification of drugs. To overcome this challenging difficulty, biosensors have been introduced as valuable tools. Among the diverse kinds of biosensors, aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have evolved as novel candidates for the sensitive evaluation of different groups of drugs, owing to their superior specificity, sensitivity, and selectivity. This chapter encompasses the recent progress in the development of aptasensors to quantitatively monitor various types of drugs. Besides, sensing mechanisms associated with the aptasensors are given that provide ideas to develop the novel aptasensing platforms as the portable test kits for the on-site detection of drugs.
