In the interest of identifying new leads that could serve as prototype agrochemical agents, 18structurally diverse marine-derived compounds were examined for insecticidal, herbicidal, andfungicidal activities. Several new classes of compounds have been shown to be insecticidal, herbicidal,and fungicidal, which suggests that marine natural products represent an intriguing source for thediscovery of new agrochemical agents.Keywords: Agrochemicals; insecticides; herbicides; fungicides; marine natural products
