-The use of natural products as antifoulants

has been an active research area for the last

30 years. Nevertheless, little advances has

been achieve in order to produce an

antifouling paint with a natural substance in

their matrix.their matrix.

-Research in natural products in Brazil started

in 1995 in the Brazilian Navy and Fluminense

Federal University with emphasis in the field

and laboratory test of antifouling (AF) activity

extracted.

Methodology

Field tests – In 1995, Mark Hay and Willian Fenical went to

Arraial do Cabo,Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to make a survey in the

species that had natural products used to defense against

herbivore. Several experiments were done in the field using herbivore. Several experiments were done in the field using

differents methods.

-Some of the methods were adapted to test antifouling products

from marine organisms.

Antifouling activity of natural products from Antifouling activity of natural products from

Brazilian Brazilian SeaweedsSeaweeds

-In a recent work, we tested crude organic extracts from 51 populations

comprising 42 species of macroalgae from eight locations along the

Brazilian coast against a relevant fouling organism in laboratory

bioassays, the brown mussel Perna perna. bioassays, the brown mussel Perna perna.

Da Gama et. al. 2008

AN

IEAPM

Despite the unbalanced number of macroalgae tested among different

localities, there seems to be no latitudinal trend of increased

antifouling activity towards lower latitudes, where fouling pressure is

presumed to be higher.

5

AN

IEAPM

There was a clear phylogenetic pattern in antifouling

activity, with red macroalgae having the highest

proportion (55%) of active species (moderate or strong

fouling Inhibition), followed by brown macroalgae (14%).

Green seaweeds never exhibited strong AF activity

These results suggest that research efforts should be

focused on tropical red macroalgae in the quest for new

antifoulants

Problem : Synthesis of Elatol

Alternatives :

-Comercial Analogs already with permission to use.

-Synthesis of others compounds :-Synthesis of others compounds :

-Easy synthesis

-Enough material to incorporated in a paint

Problem : Low investiments in research (in Brazil).

Alternatives : Join projects with Universities, Federal and
