Chemical investigation of a Formosan sponge Axinyssa sp. has led to the isolation of five nitrogenous bisabolene-type sesquiterpenes 1-5, including two new compounds axinysalines A (1) and B (2). The structures of new compounds were elucidated by analysis of high resolution (HR)-MS and two dimensional (2D)-NMR spectra and comparison of its NMR data with those of known analogues. Compound 1 exhibited moderate to weak cytotoxicity against Molt 4 and K562 cancer cell lines.

A new rearranged nitrogenous bisabolone-type sesquiterpene, halichonic acid B (1), was isolated from a marine sponge Axinyssa sp. together with halichonic acid (2) and (6R,7S)-7-amino-7,8-dihydro-α-bisabolene (3). The structure of 1 was determined by extensive NMR and MS analyses, revealing an unprecedented carbon framework, and its absolute configuration was elucidated by time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT)-based electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectrum calculation.

Chemical investigation of an Axinyssa species of sponge collected at Yap Island afforded three new nitrogenous sesquiterpenes, 1-3, together with the known compound 3-formamidotheonellin (4). The structures of compounds 1, 3, and 4 were confirmed by spectroscopic methods, and compound 2 was tentatively identified by comparison of its (1)H and (13)C NMR data with those of 1, 3, and 4 and (1)H decoupling experiments.
