Ergolines
Ergolines are a class of organic compounds based on the ergoline ring system. This bicyclic structure consists of a fused indole and quinoline ring. The ergoline skeleton is found in several alkaloids produced by fungi of the genus Claviceps, most notably ergot, which grows on rye and other cereals. These naturally occurring ergoline alkaloids have significant pharmacological activity.
The most well-known ergoline derivatives include ergotamine and ergometrine, which are used in medicine to control
The synthesis of ergoline alkaloids is complex, and many derivatives have been synthesized in laboratories to
