| 11. | Among the most abundant ergot alkaloids in epichlo?symbiotic grasses is ergovaline, comprising an ergoline non-ribosomal peptide synthetase.
|
| 12. | Ergot alkaloids have been used pharmaceutically.
|
| 13. | "' Ergot Alkaloids "'are compounds produced as a toxic mixture of alkaloids in the St . Anthony's Fire.
|
| 14. | Ergot alkaloids are associated with grasses that are produced in a structure of " Claviceps " called the sclerotia.
|
| 15. | In pure form, the first ergot alkaloids, ergotamine and its isomer ergotaminine were isolated by Arthur Stoll in 1918.
|
| 16. | For example, the ergot alkaloids produced by Claviceps spp . have been dangerous contaminants of rye crops for centuries.
|
| 17. | "' Chanoclavine "', also known as chanoclavin-l is a tri-cyclic ergot alkaloid ( ergoline ) isolate of certain fungi.
|
| 18. | The neurotropic activities of the ergot alkaloids may also cause hallucinations and attendant irrational behaviour, convulsions, and even death.
|
| 19. | In 1938 Albert Hofmann synthesized one of the strongest known hallucinogens, lysergic acid diethylamide ( LSD ), from ergot alkaloid.
|
| 20. | But tests on grasses from farms around the region have produced negative results for major mycotoxins, phytoestrogens and ergot alkaloids.
