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.
