“…Avarone (2) and 3 showed significant antisettlement activity, but were almost equally toxic to barnacle larvae as avarol (1). Conversely, compound 4 possessed insufficient antimicrobial and antisettlement activity to be a promising antifoulant.…”

Abstract:The sesquiterpene hydroquinone avarol (1) was isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea avara, whereas the corresponding quinone, avarone (2), was obtained by oxidation of avarol, and the significantly more lipophilic compounds [3'-(p-chlorophenyl)avarone (3), 3',4'-ethylenedithioavarone (4), 4'-isopropylthioavarone (5), 4'-tertbutylthioavarone (6), 4'-propylthioavarone (7), 4'-octylthioavarone (8)] were obtained by nucleophilic addition of thiols or p-chloroaniline to avarone. All these compounds wereMolecules 2007, 12 1023 tested, at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 50 µg/mL, for their effect on the settlement of the cyprid stage of Balanus amphitrite, for toxicity to both nauplii and cyprids and for their growth inhibitory activity on marine bacteria (Cobetia marina, Marinobacterium stanieri, Vibrio fischeri and Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis) and marine fungi (Halosphaeriopsis mediosetigera, Asteromyces cruciatus, Lulworthia uniseptata and Monodictys pelagica).

“…One of the most serious problems that marine technology is currently facing is the control of biofouling on man-made structures [1,2]. Efficient antifouling paints are based on copper compounds and booster biocides that when submerged, release toxic compounds causing adverse environmental effects [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…Numerous studies are being carried out globally in order to check the bioactivities, such as antibacterial, antiviral, antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic and antimitotic activities of marine algae or to isolate compounds for different purposes such as pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food preservatives, antifouling coatings, etc. (Fenical and Paul 1984;Hodgson 1984;Scheuer 1990;Ballesteros et al 1992;Sastry and Rao 1994;Armstrong et al 2000;Gonzalez del Val et al 2001;Bhosale et al 2002;Ozdemir et al 2006;Salvador et al 2007;Tierney et al 2010;Wada et al 2011;Liu et al 2012).…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the biological activities with toxic properties of the methanol, hexane, and chloroform extracts of Cystoseira compressa (Esper) Gerloff & Nizamuddin from the Coast of Urla in the Aegean Sea. The extracts of C. compressa were tested for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities in this study. Cytotoxic and mutagenic potentials of the extracts were also evaluated using cell culture and mutagenicity assays. Hexane extract was found to have higher total flavonoid and phenolic contents than the other extracts and exerted higher antioxidant activity than other extracts. All extracts exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity against tested microorganisms (minimum inhibitory concentration ranges are 32-256 lg/mL). The results indicated that the extracts had no significant cytotoxic activity against human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep 3B cell line in all treated concentrations (5-50 lg/mL) and did not show mutagenicity in the Ames test. Lethality was not observed among mice treated with oral doses of the extracts. In conclusion, results of investigations indicate that brown alga C. compressa is a natural source of antioxidant. It has moderate antimicrobial activities with no toxicity.

Biofouling is defined by the non-specific attachment of biological material (proteins, carbohydrates, prokaryotic cells and higher organisms) to surfaces upon their exposuret oa ny biological fluid. Biofouling is a serious problem in many areas ranging from marine technology,nuclear power plants, dentistry,food processing to biomedical implants. This process can be addressed either actively by chemical compounds inhibiting growth, settlement or biofilm formation, or passively by generating repellent or resistant surfaces. This highlight article gives an overview over different secondary metabolites from cyanobacteria useful in this context. Acandidate for active antifouling is nostocarboline, acarboline alkaloid from Nostoc.Ithas distinct and powerful activities against both prokaryotic and eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms. This compound is acandidate for the replacement of toxic tributyltin (TBT) antifouling coatings. Another passive strategy is presented utilizing the strong binding of anachelin to metal oxide surfaces. This anchor binds polyethyleneglycol (PEG) efficiently to surfaces and renders TiO 2 protein resistant. This anchor displays superior properties when compared to dopamine or DOPA, ak ey constituent in mussel adhesive proteins (MAP). Implications for biomaterials design arediscussed.
