“…The phytotoxicity of 1, 10 and 11 against both Amaranthus hypochondriacus and Lemna paucicostata have been investigated by Mata and co-workers. 38 In their study 1, 10 and 11 displayed a pronounced phytotoxic effect and caused increased cellular leakage.…”

The current study reports the first comprehensive evaluation of a class of allelopathic terrestrial natural products as antifoulants in a marine setting. To investigate the antifouling potential of the natural dihydrostilbene scaffold, a library of 22 synthetic dihydrostilbenes with varying substitution patterns, many of which occur naturally in terrestrial plants, were prepared and assessed for their antifouling capacity. The compounds were evaluated in an extensive screen against 16 fouling marine organisms. The dihydrostilbene scaffold was shown to possess powerful general antifouling effects against both marine microfoulers and macrofoulers with inhibitory activities at low concentrations. The species of microalgae examined displayed a particular sensitivity toward the evaluated compounds at low ng/mL concentrations. It was shown that several of the natural and synthetic compounds exerted their repelling activities via nontoxic and reversible mechanisms. The activities of the most active compounds such as 3,5-dimethoxybibenzyl (5), 3,4-dimethoxybibenzyl (9), and 3-hydroxy-3′,4,5′-trimethoxybibenzyl (20) were comparable to the commercial antifouling booster biocide Sea-nine, which was employed as a positive control. The investigation of terrestrial allelopathic natural products to counter marine fouling represents a novel strategy for the design of “green” antifouling technologies, and these compounds offer a potential alternative to traditional biocidal antifoulants.

“…Some of the isolated compounds have been evaluated for biological properties and significant results were reported. Examples are the inhibition of ephemeranthoquinone on the spontaneous contraction of the guinea-pig ileum, spasmolytic, allelopathic and inhibitory activities of batatasin III on germination and radicle growth, and cytotoxicity of tristin against human stomach cancer SGC-7901 [6,[14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
