The present invention provides application of camptothecin and derivatives thereof as antifouling agent, relating to camptothecin. Application of camptothecin and derivatives thereof as antifouling agent for facilities in water is provided, wherein the antifouling agent contains camptothecin and/or at least one of its derivatives. The application of camptothecin and derivatives thereof as antifouling agent for facilities in water can be used to prevent attachment of marine or freshwater micro-fouling organisms and/or large fouling organisms to the surfaces of facilities in the sea, lake, river or pool. The antifouling agent may also be used in mixture with other antifouling substance. Antifouling method for artificial facilities in water is provided. An antifouling paint for facilities in water is provided. Camptothecin and its derivatives have significant inhibitory activity to the attachment of fouling organisms, i.e. having antifouling activity, and can be used to prevent the attachment of fouling organisms on the surfaces of artificial facilities in water. Camptothecin and its derivatives have high antifouling activity, good antifouling efficiency, and broad-spectrum antifouling.
