Investigation of the relationship between ergocristinine and vascular receptors
Ergot alkaloids are secondary metabolites that exist in two configurations, the C-8-R-isomer (R-epimer), and the C-8-S-isomer (S-epimer). Toxic effects of ergot, such as vasoconstriction, have been primarily attributed to the R-epimer bioactivity, as compared to the S-epimer. Recent studies demonstr...
