Abstract

Abstract:

Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins, which are produced from fungi in the family of Clavicipitaceae. Toxicity of ergot alkaloids is an important issue to human and animals. However, ergot alkaloids exhibited a therapeutic effect on some forms of migraine, postpartum hemorrhages, mastopathy, Parkinson s disease, cerebrovascular insufficiency and venous insufficiency. This paper reviews the production of ergot alkaloids, physical and chemical properties, biosynthesis, hazards, biological activity, as well as the detection method.

Key words: ergot alkaloids, biosynthesis, gene, detection

CLC Number:

R282.71
