HPLC Method for Determination of Ergot Alkaloids and Some Derivatives in Human Plasma

Abstract
1 Ergot alkaloids and their dihydrogenated methanesulphonate (ms) salts were determined and measured in human plasma. 2 High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorometric detection was used for separation of ergot alkaloids in plasma. 3 Several ergot alkaloids and their derivatives, including lysergide (LSD), can be identified in cases of poisoning.
