Article Synopsis
- The study explores the antifouling effects of three polyphenolic resveratrol multimers, isolated from Papua New Guinean rainforest species, against marine microfoulers and barnacle larva settlements.
- Two compounds, (-)-hopeaphenol and vaticanol B, showed strong inhibition of barnacle larvae metamorphosis and were effective at low concentrations, particularly (-)-hopeaphenol which also inhibited microalgal and bacterial adhesion.
- In comparison, resveratrol itself had lower antifouling effectiveness and higher toxicity against certain cell lines, highlighting the potential for natural products to provide safer alternatives for antifouling agents.
