Do you want to know about lysergol and its importance in the research industry? Here is a brief anecdote about the same that we hope will be helpful in your study field. 

Lysergol is an alkaloid of the ergoline family that occurs as a minor constituent in some species of fungi (most within Claviceps). Its precedence has also been evident in the morning glory family of plants (Convolvulaceae). It includes the hallucinogenic seeds of Rivea corymbosa (ololiuqui), Argyreia Nervosa (Hawaiian Baby Woodrose), and Ipomoea violacea.

The process of lysergol synthesis is possible to carry out using a tandem reaction. It will help to construct the piperidine skeleton and a rhodium-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation in the late-stage indole formation.

Characteristics Of Lysergol:

CAS Number: 602-85-7

• Chemical Name: (7-Methyl-4, 6, 6a, 7, 8, 9-hexahydro-indolo[4, 3-fg]quinolin-9-yl)-methanol

• Molecular Weight: 254.33

What Are The Major Applications Of Lysergol?

Let us take a look at the various applications of lysergol and why it is important in the field of scientific research. 

• Lysergol has been in use as a hypotensive, psychotropic analgesic and uterus, and also, intestine stimulating drug. 

• Recently invented, the novel bio enhancing the potential of lysergol, which acts as a bioavailability facilitator for antibiotics. Also, it helps in transferring the antibiotics across the membrane for better efficacy on the target site. 

• Lysergol is an ergot alkaloid which when used in combination with antibiotic nalidixic acid, can effectively inhibit Escherichia coli.

• It acts as a starting material for the synthesis of modern anti-Parkinson drug “Cabergoline”

• As the main intermediate in the manufacture of ergoloid medicines (e.g., Nicergoline)
