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