H. Hirota et al., TERPENOIDS WITH ANTIFOULING ACTIVITY AGAINST BARNACLE LARVAE FROM THEMARINE SPONGE ACANTHELLA-CAVERNOSA, Tetrahedron, 52(7), 1996, pp. 2359-2368
Fourteen terpenoids, including six new compounds, have been isolated f
rom the marine Acanthella cavernosa collected off Hachijo-jima Island.
They inhibit of larval attachment and metamorphosis of the barnacle B
alanus amphitrite. Their structures were determined mainly by spectros
copic methods.
