Natural products as antifouling compounds: recent progress and future perspectives.

Since early 2008, an increasing number of countries have ratified an international treaty to ban the application of antifouling (AF) coatings based on organotin compounds (eg tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin). As a result, the demand for environmentally friendly, non-toxic or low-toxicity AF compounds and technologies (green AF agents) has become an urgent reality. Marine coatings based on Cu...

Bioactive marine natural products

Bioactive marine natural products can be defined as biologically active products, both secondary metabolites as well as enzymes, lipids and heteropolysaccharides derived from marine sources. Marine natural products have been found to be an important source of drugs and drug leads. These natural products are secondary metabolites and enhance survival fitness and may serve as chemical weapons use...
