The two substances are not chemically similar or related, as salvinorin A is found naturally in a single plant while LSD is chemically semisynthesized from lysergamides like ergotamine.

In 1918, Arthur Stoll isolated ergotamine from ergot; the substance was eventually used to treat migraine and headaches and was introduced under the trade name Gynergen in 1921.
33.
In summing up, the new naturally occurring alkaloid D-lysergic acid methyl carbinolamide has powerful ergometrine-like oxytocic action and weak ergotamine-like adrenergic blocking actions.
34.
The relationship between ergot and ergotism was established only in 1717, and the alkaloid ergotamine, one of the main active ingredients of ergot, was isolated in 1918.
35.
Common antidepressants like Prozac increase serotonin levels, but not to levels anything like that seen with tumors or ergotamine, said Isner, a cardiology professor at Tufts Medical School.
36.
Thus, he developed the first isolation of ergot alkaloids ( as ergotamine and ergobasine ) and cardiac glycosides, which are used as a medicine for heart diseases and migraines.
37.
"' Acetergamine "'is a organic chemical compound; specifically it is a derivative of ergoline, making it a member of the ergotamine family of compounds.
38.
Lysergic acid and lysergic acid amide, LSD precursors, are both classified in Ergotamine tartrate, a precursor to lysergic acid, is regulated under the Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act.
39.
Ergot alkaloids ergometrine ( ergobazin, ergonovine ), ergotamine and their synthetic derivatives ( methylergometrine ) are applied against uterine bleeding, and bisindole alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine are antitumor agents.
40.
Perhaps the most famous ergoline derivative is the drug LSD . Ergometrine and ergotamine are included as schedule I precursors in the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances.
