Detection of 5-FU and its metabolites; 5-fluorouridine and 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine in biological samples allows optimization of pharmacotherapy and encourages fundamental investigations of this medication. The development of accurate and reliable sample preparation, as well as analytical methods, is critical to isolate targeted analytes from complex matrices, apart from increasing detection sensitivity of analytes. With that, this paper presents a review of prior studies pertaining to chromatographic and electrophoretic methods that focused on the analysis of 5-FU and its metabolites in biological matrices such as plasma and urine. This paper concentrates on HPLC, GC and CE systems, which are the most commonly used strategies for analytical separation of 5-FU and its metabolites from samples. Detection of these antineoplastic agents at trace level demands highly sensitive and selective analytical methodologies. Application of these analytical techniques to biological matrices is reviewed with a focus on method development strategies, including types of mobile phases and background electrolytes employed in LC and CE systems. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2020 publisher: Bellwether Publishing, Ltd. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85087640894&doi=10.1080%2f10826076.2020.1781654&partnerID=40&md5=0411094d07b6b56c381025493618f166 id_number: 10.1080/10826076.2020.1781654 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Liquid Chromatography and Related Technologies volume: 43 number: 15-16 pagerange: 562-579 refereed: TRUE issn: 10826076 citation: Semail, N.-F. and Abdul Keyon, A.S. and Saad, B. and Noordin, S.S. and Nik Mohamed Kamal, N.N.S. and Mohamad Zain, N.N. and Azizi, J. and Kamaruzaman, S. and Yahaya, N.
