Common NameErgometrinine
DescriptionErgometrinine is a member of the chemical class of ergot alkaloids, which are naturally occurring compounds produced by the fungus Claviceps purpurea. These alkaloids, including ergometrinine, are known for their potent biological activities, particularly their effects on the vascular system and central nervous system. Ergometrinine has been identified in various agricultural products, notably grains, where it can be found alongside other ergot alkaloids such as ergometrine and ergosine (PMID:38928849 ). Its incidence in food products raises concerns due to its toxicity, as evidenced by studies that detected ergometrinine in oat-based foods, where it was quantified alongside other alkaloids (PMID:342 07051">342 07051 ). Analytical methods like ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry have been developed to accurately determine the presence of ergometrinine and its epimers in food matrices (PMID:342 ...). Furthermore, research indicates that ergometrinine can be detected in bile, suggesting its metabolic processing in biological systems (PMID:26809637 ). The synthesis of stable isotopomers of ergometrinine has also been explored, highlighting its significance in both chemical research and toxicological assessments (PMID:30565445 ).
