[structure: see text] Liphagal (1), a selective inhibitor of PI3K alpha, has been isolated from the marine sponge Aka coralliphaga collected in Dominica. The "liphagane" meroterpenoid carbon skeleton of liphagal (1) is new. A biomimetic total synthesis has been used to confirm the constitution of liphagal (1) and support a proposed biogenesis.

Liphagal and frondosin B are two marine-derived secondary metabolites sharing a very similar polyfused-benzofuran skeleton. The two tetracyclic meroterpenoids were isolated from marine sponges, both featuring a 6-5-7-6 fused ring system. A preliminary bioactive study shows that (+)-liphagal is a selective kinase (PI3K α) inhibitor, while (+)-frondosin B is shown to inhibit the binding of the cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) to its receptor, CX-CLR1/2.

Analogues of the sponge meroterpenoid liphagal have been synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of PI3Kα and PI3Kγ as part of a program aimed at developing new isoform-selective PI3K inhibitors. One of the analogues, compound 24, with IC₅₀ values of 66 nM against PI3Kα and 1840 nM against PI3Kγ, representing a 27-fold preference for PI3Kα, exhibited enhanced chemical stability and modestly enhanced potency and selectivity compared with the natural product liphagal.

The enantioselective total synthesis of liphagal, a selective inhibitor of PI3K α isolated from the marine sponge Aka coralliphaga, has been achieved. The novel tetracyclic "liphagane" skeleton is formed in one step, after the hydrogenation of a dihydroxydrimane phenol benzyl ether in the presence of cationic resin.
