Definition
English
:
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.
