Abstract:
Two ergopeptine alkaloids, alpha-ergocryptine (1) and its C(8) epimer alpha-ergocryptinine, have been isolated from the mycelium and fermentation broth of submerged cultures of Claviceps zizaniae CCM 8240. The structure of 1 was determined by HPLC/positive ion APCI MS and NMR analysis. Alkaloid concentrations of 10 microg/mL in 14-day-old fermentation broth and 1 mg/g of dry mycelium mass were found. These results are of considerable biotechnological interest since these were the only detectable alkaloids produced. Toxicity of naturally occurring sclerotia of C. zizaniae cannot be excluded.
