Front Cover: Anti‐Barnacle Activities of Isothiocyanates Derived from β‐Citronellol and Their Structure–Activity Relationships (Chem. Biodiversity 2/2023). Issue 2 (15th February 2023) - Tanikawa, Aina
Abstract : Front Cover . Antifouling agents with low toxicity are in high demand for sustaining marine industries and the environment. Fifteen isothiocyanates derived from β‐citronellol were synthesized, and their antifouling activities and toxicities were evaluated against the cypris larvae of barnacles. The isothiocyanates with an amide or isocyano group exhibited great potential as effective antifouling agents. They are therefore expected to be useful for further research on the development of environmentally friendly antifouling agents, as reported by Kitano et al . in their research article at 10.1002/cbdv.202200953 .
