Backebergia militaris (Andot) Bravo ex Sánchez Mejorada yielded alkaloid crystals from a fractionated ethanol extract of only 20 g of plant material. The alkaloid was identified as heliamine (6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline) hydrochloride. A second alkaloid, 3,4-dimethoxy-beta-phenethylamine hydrochloride, was crystallized after preparative TLC
