MeSH Heading: Dihydroergotoxine
Tree Number(s): D03.132.327.412.250; D03.633.400.562.400
Unique ID: D004088
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004088
Scope Note: A mixture of three different hydrogenated derivatives of ERGOTAMINE: DIHYDROERGOCORNINE; DIHYDROERGOCRISTINE; and DIHYDROERGOCRYPTINE. Dihydroergotoxine has been proposed to be a neuroprotective agent and a nootropic agent. The mechanism of its therapeutic actions is not clear, but it can act as an alpha-adrenergic antagonist and a dopamine agonist. The methanesulfonate salts of this mixture of alkaloids are called ERGOLOID MESYLATES.
