Screening extracts of theMexican cereoid cactus, Backebergia militaris (Andot) Bravo ex Sanchez Mejorada, by mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry (MIKES), showed the presence of alkaloids of (M+ H)+ 194 and 208; alkaloids of molecular weight less than 193 were not sought in the MIKES screen(1). In a subsequent isolation study, 3, 4-dimethoxv-/3-phenethylamine,(1)(m. wt. 181), and heliamine,(2)(6, 7-dimethoxy-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline)(m. wt. 193), were crystallized in respective yields of 0.025% and 0.75% from the plant material (2). In a closer screening of extracts of this species with analytical thin layer chromatography (tic)(3), an addi-tional secondary amine, 3, was de-tected in small quantity inthe alkaloid extracts. Column adsorption chromatography successfully resolved 3 from 1 and 2. Comparisons with reference cactus alkaloids identified the crystalline hydrochloride of 3 as that of lemaireocereine (7, 8-dimethoxy-
