Cyclopropanation of carbon-carbon double bonds in ring d of ergot alkaloids [PDF]
, 2013 Some ergot alkaloid derivatives containing a double bond in ring D have been reacted with diazomethane/palladium diacetate reagent to result in formation of a fused cyclopropane ring.

Impacts of cereal ergot in food animal production
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016 The negative impacts of ergot contamination of grain on the health of humans and animals were first documented during the 5th century AD. Although ergotism is now rare in humans, cleaning contaminated grain concentrates ergot bodies in screenings which ...

An integrated targeted and untargeted approach for the analysis of ergot alkaloids in cereals using UHPLC - hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry [PDF]
, 2015 An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography hybrid quadrupole time of flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) method is described for the simultaneous quantitative determination of common ergot alkaloids and the screening, detection and identification ...

Toxins, 2021 In the past centuries consumption of bread made of ergot-infected flour resulted in mass poisonings and miscarriages. The reason was the sclerotia of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul.—a source of noxious ergot alkaloids (ergotamine and ergovaline).

Aptamer-based extraction of ergot alkaloids from ergot contaminated rye feed [PDF]
, 2014 Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins which can be found in food based on cereal-crops, due to a contamination of plants by fungi of the genus Claviceps. The ingestion of ergot contaminated cereal crops can lead to a severe poisoning known as ergotism. For food

Host specialization of different populations of ergot fungus (Claviceps purpurea)
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2002 In our previous study of Claviceps purpurea three populations were found: G1 on open localities, G2 from shady or wet habitats and G3 on Spartina stands of coastal salt marshes. The latter two are also chemoraces.
