The cactus genus Coryphantha has been reported to contain certain β-phenethylamine alkaloids. In this investigation, a Texas species, C. ramillosa Cutak, yielded five alkaloids which were isolated chromatographically and crystallized as their hydro-chloride salts. The isolated compounds were identified as N-methyl-4-methoxy-β-phenethylamine hydrochloride, hordenine hydrochloride, N-methyltyramine hydrochloride, synephrine hydrochloride, and β-O-methylsynephrine hydrochloride, all of which have been previously identified in other Coryphantha species.
