Classification Of Ergot Alkaloids
A. Natural ergot alkaloids
may be considered as derivatives of lysergic acid.
(a) amine alkaloid - ergometrine (ergonovine) : oxytocic
(b) amino acid alkaloids - ergotamine, ergotoxine (mixture of ergocristine + ergocornine + ergocryptine)
B. Other semisynthetic derivatives
(a) dihydroergotamine (DHE), dihydroergotoxine (codergocrine) : antiadrenergic, cerebroactive
(b) 2 -bromo-alpha-ergocryptine (bromocriptine) : dopaminergic
(c) methysergide :anti 5 HT
