Health | Alkaloids isolated from the ergot fungus Claviceps purpurea (Hypocreaceae). The ergot alkaloids were the first alpha-adrenergic antagonists discovered, but side effects generally prevent their administration in doses that would produce more than a minimal blockade in humans. Their smooth muscle-stimulating activities may be attributed to alpha-agonistic properties, thus characterizing these alkaloids as a series of partial agonists. They have many clinical applications, notably in obstetrics and the treatment of migraine. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 28th ed, p662). (references) |
