Synthetic small molecules from an important class of heterocyclic derivatives and homologs and their use as antifouling agents for protection against marine biofouling. The antifouling compounds disclosed herein are environmentally friendly and are able to reduce marine biofouling without inducing toxic effects to target and non-target species. The claimed antifouling compounds also possess ability to be incorporated as antifouling additives in polymeric formulations. Thus, allowing its further application for the preparation of antifouling polymeric matrices, such as coatings, with no hazard effects for the environment.
