T. Ban et al., Polygodial, a potent attachment-inhibiting substance for the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis galloprovincialis from Tasmannia lanceolata, BIOS BIOT B, 64(12), 2000, pp. 2699-2701
A highly potent attachment-inhibitor, polygodial, was isolated from a hexan
e extract of the leaves of Tasmannia lanceolata. The attachment-inhibiting
activity of polygodial against the blue mussel was increased 4-fold when us
ed in combination with sorbic acid, anethole, and indole.
