The chemistry of the burrowing sponge Aka coralliphagum was investigated to identify chemically labile secondary metabolites. The HPLC-MS analysis of the two growth forms typica and incrustans revealed different metabolites. The previously unknown sulfated compounds siphonodictyals B1 to B3 (6-8), corallidictyals C (9) and D (10), and siphonodictyal G (11) were isolated, and their structures were elucidated by NMR and MS experiments. The compounds were tested in a DPPH assay, in antimicrobial assays against bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, and in antiproliferation assays using cultures of mouse fibroblasts. The biological activity was linked to the presence of the ortho-hydroquinone moiety.

Involvement of thermodynamically-stable prenucleation clusters (PNCs) in the biomineralization of collagen has been speculated since their existence was reported in mineralization systems. It has been hypothesized that intrafibrillar mineralization proceeds via nucleation of inhibitor-stabilized intermediates produced by liquid-liquid separation (aka. polymer-induced liquid precursors; PILPs).

Liphagal, isolated from the marine sponge Aka coralliphaga, exhibits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) inhibitory activity and cytotoxic effects in human cancer cells. Siphonodictyal B, the biogenetic precursor of liphagal, also has PI3K inhibitory activity. However, its cytotoxic or antitumor activities have not been evaluated.

The marine sponge Aka coralliphaga is a rich source of biologically active and structurally interesting meroterpenoids. Inspired by these natural products, we have used biosynthetic speculation to devise biomimetic syntheses of siphonodictyal B, liphagal and corallidictyals A-D from sclareolide. This work resulted in the development of new cascade reactions in the synthesis of liphagal, the reassignment of the structure of siphonodictyal B, and the realisation that corallidictyals A and B are possibly isolation artefacts.
