    Author: Pérez-Fernández V, García MA, Marina ML.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2010 Feb 12; 1217(7):968-89. PubMed ID: 19922941.
    Abstract:
    Pyrethroids are synthetic pesticides that originated from the modification of natural pyrethrins to improve their biological activity and stability. They are a family of chiral pesticides with a large number of stereoisomers. Enantiomers of synthetic pyretroids present different insecticidal activity, toxicity against aquatic invertebrates and persistence in the environment so the development of rapid and sensitive chiral methods for the determination of different enantiomers is necessary. Several techniques have been employed for this purpose including gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography or more recently capillary electrophoresis and sub or supercritical fluid chromatography. A general view on the different chiral separation methods applied to the analysis of pyrethroids and the most important information about these pesticides is provided in this review.
