Siphonodictidine是一种未描述的印度太平洋海绵Siphonodictyon sp.的主要次生代谢物，这种海绵会钻入活珊瑚头中。利用光谱数据确定了辛伏二替丁的结构。实验室生物分析表明，siphonodictidine和类似的来自S. coralliphagum的siphonodictyals负责维持这些海绵的眼烟囱周围的死珊瑚息肉区。
Siphonodictidine is the major secondary metabolite of an undescribed Indo-Pacific sponge Siphonodictyon sp. that burrows into living coral heads. The structure of siphonodictidine was determined from spectral data. Laboratory bioassays suggest that siphonodictidine and, by analogy, the siphonodictyals from S. coralliphagum are responsible for maintaining zones of dead coral polyps around the oscular chimneys of these sponges.
