Ergot alkaloids (the sum of individual ergot alkaloids are termed as total alkaloids, TA) are produced by the fungus Claviceps purpurea, which infests cereal grains commonly used as feedstuffs.

Cyclopropanation of carbon-carbon double bonds in ring d of ergot alkaloids [PDF]
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.

Aptamer-based extraction of ergot alkaloids from ergot contaminated rye feed [PDF]
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

Impacts of cereal ergot in food animal production
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 ...

The Impact of Storage Temperature and Time on Ergot Alkaloid Concentrations
Ergot sclerotia produce toxic secondary metabolites, ergot alkaloids, that infect cereal crops and grasses. Ergot alkaloids have two isomeric configurations: the C-8-R-isomer (R-epimer), and the C-8-S-isomer (S-epimer).
