Biosynthetic Pathways of Ergot Alkaloids
Toxins, 2014 Ergot alkaloids are nitrogen-containing natural products belonging to indole alkaloids. The best known producers are fungi of the phylum Ascomycota, e.g., Claviceps, Epichloë, Penicillium and Aspergillus species.

Ergot Alkaloids Produced by Endophytic Fungi of the Genus Epichloë
Toxins, 2015 The development of fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë in grasses results in the production of different groups of alkaloids, whose mechanism and biological spectrum of toxicity can differ considerably.

Epimerization of ergot alkaloids in feed
Heliyon, 2020 Chronic intake of cereals contaminated with ergot alkaloids can cause ergotism and result in the loss of toes and fingers or even death. Today, due to common risk management practices, ergotism is rare as a human disease but remains a problem in ...

UPDATED REVIEW ON EXTRACTION, ISOLATION AND QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION OF ERGOT ALKALOIDS [PDF]
Bulletin of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Assiut University, 2022 Ergot Alkaloids are potent α-blockers that cause direct smooth muscle contraction. They are products of fungi in the genus Claviceps. The most prominent member of this group is Claviceps purpurea (rye ergot fungus).

Methods of Lysergic Acid Synthesis—The Key Ergot Alkaloid
Molecules, 2022 Ergot is the spore form of the fungus Claviceps purpurea. Ergot alkaloids are indole compounds that are biosynthetically derived from L-tryptophan and represent the largest group of fungal nitrogen metabolites found in nature.
