- An alkaloid derived from ergot that is less toxic than ergot; causes constriction of blood vessels and is used to treat migraine
- Ergotamine is an ergopeptine and part of the ergot family of alkaloids; it is structurally and biochemically closely related to ergoline. It possesses structural similarity to several neurotransmitters, and has biological activity as a vasoconstrictor. ...
- (Ergotamines) Ergoline is a chemical compound whose structural skeleton is contained in a diverse range of alkaloids including a few psychedelic drugs (lysergic acid, LSD). ...
- An alkaloid derived from ergot (fungus in the genus Claviceps), which narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). They sometimes relieve pain by reducing pressure on pain-sensitive structures that may be associated with cluster and/or migraine headaches. ...
- A 3-amino acid cyclopeptide derivative of lysergic acid from Claviceps purpurea sclerotia; ergotamine tartrate is used to manage migraine by causing vasoconstriction of cranial arterioles, thereby reducing the pulsation pressure and attendant headache.
- A drug used to prevent or treat migraine headaches. This can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and convulsions in infants.
- A vasoconstrictor found in ergot of central europe. It is an alpha-1 selective adrenergic agonist and is commonly used in the treatment of migraine headaches. Pharmacological action: adrenergic alpha-agonists, analgesics, non-narcotic, vasoconstrictor agents. ...
