  • Title: The antifouling activity of some juvenoids on three species of acorn barnacle, Balanus.
    Author: Skattebøl L, Nilsen NO, Stenstrøm Y, Andreassen P, Willemsen P.
    Journal: Pest Manag Sci; 2006 Jul; 62(7):610-6. PubMed ID: 16705617.
    Abstract:
    Analogues of insect juvenile hormones (juvenoids) have been tested for settling inhibition of cyprids from three species of barnacle, Balanus balanoides (L.), Balanus improvisus Darwin and Balanus amphitrite Darwin. Some 3-alkoxypyridine derivatives exhibited strong activity at mg litre(-1) concentrations; 3,7-dimethyloctyl 2-methyl-5-pyridyl ether (8) gave an EC(50) of 0.006 mg litre(-1) when tested on B. balanoides. When compound 8 and similar juvenoids were incorporated into paints, test panels kept in seawater for 8 months were free of barnacles.
