Invention name
Butenolide
Invention description
At the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Prof. Pei-Yuan Qian has been leading a team of scientists to explore the environmentally safe, effective antifoulants from natural products. In 2010, we discovered five structurally similar antifouling compounds that were isolated from the crude extract of a marine bacterial (Streptomyces strain obtained from deep-sea sediments). Our follow-up work on the relationship between chemical structures and antifouling activities has led to the identification of the 2-furanone ring and the lipophilicity as main factors of the antifouling activities. Based on our results, we designed and synthesized a simple structure of compound (named butenolide) via a simple step, which can solve the problem of mass production of compounds at cost-effective means. This butenolide retained the furanone ring structure, and has a straight alkyl side chain, which could make this butenolide even more lipophilic than all the previous compounds. The laboratory bioassays and field tests showed the butenolide has very good antifouling activity against all three fouling larval species. The EC50 values were much lower compared to the previous compounds and have a large LC50/EC50 value, indicating it is highly effective and has low toxicity.
Highlight of the technology
Unique product: non-toxic (absolutely environmentally friendly), effective, suitable for long-term usage and economical to produce.
