An account is given of extensive pharmacological and chemical studies on the active constituents of ergot of rye [Claviceps purpurea: see next abstract]. The observed efficacy of the aqueous extracts of ergot must reside in some hitherto unknown, highly important active principle other than ergotoxin and ergotamin [R.A.M., xiv, p. 362], since the latter are not freely extractable in water but only in alcoholic solutions, This new alkaloid has been shown by animal experiments to be closely related to the two above-mentioned constituents, from which it differs mainly in its much more soluble nature and its more prompt and powerful oxytocic action following oral administration.The non-specific amino bases of ergot, such as histarnin, tyramin, cholins, and the like, were found to contribute nothing of value to the characteristic oxytocic activity of the drug.
