RATIONALE The biological activities most commonly associated with indole–diterpenoids
are tremorgenicity in mammals and toxicity in insects through modulation of ion channels …

The plant parasitic fungus Claviceps purpurea sensu lato produces sclerotia containing toxic
ergot alkaloids and uncharacterized indole diterpenoids in grasses including cereals. The …

A new metabolite was purified from chloroform extracts of Claviceps paspali sclerotia by
using column chromatography and preparative centrifugally accelerated, radial, thin-layer …

Tremorgenic syndromes in mammals are commonly associated with indole− diterpenoid
alkaloids of fungal origin. Cattle are sometimes affected by tremors (also called “staggers”) …

The neurological disorder, Dallisgrass poisoning or paspalum staggers, occurs in cattle that

The grass parasitic fungus Claviceps purpurea sensu lato produces sclerotia with toxic
indole alkaloids. It constitutes several genetic groups with divergent habitat preferences that …

A novel secondary metabolite from the sclerotia of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. is described;
the structure is based on 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and electrospray mass …

Claviceps species affecting Paspalum spp. are a serious problem, as they infect forage
grasses such as Paspalum dilatatum and P. plicatulum, producing the ergot disease. The …

Introduction Crotalaria spectabilis is an important species used as a pre‐plant cover for
soybean crops to control the proliferation of endoparasitic nematodes. Species from the …

Claviceps purpurea is an ergot fungus known for its neurotropic alkaloids, which have been
identified as the main cause of ergotism, a livestock and human disease triggered by ergot …
