Successful Crude Ergot Alkaloid Recovery | Bookmark | |||||
Put 250g of Claviceps Sclerotia in a blender, added 1L of 5% Tartaric acid and homogenized on low setting for 3 hours. Added NH4OH 10% solution dropwise and waited until pH reached 8.5. Let stir in pH = 8.5 solution for ~30 minutes. Filtered and washed cellular sludge with ~100ml Benzene. Extracted 4x with 125ml of Benzene. Extracted benzene 4x with 125ml of 5% Tartaric Acid in absolute EtOH. Rotovapped down to ~150ml EtOH, placed EtOH in a shallow beaker in a dessicator and left in the dark. Collected prismatic ~2mm long ~1mm wide crystals 2 days later. Weight = 1.81g, stored in a brown glass vial, tightly sealed, wrapped in Al Foil in the refrigerator. |

What would you like to know? This is the method used for islolation of "ergotoxine" in the.. fuck.. the sheet of paper is back at the fort. Anyways. This is the stuff Hoffman was hydrolyzing to get his LSA. |

Hummm ... Aren't ergot alkaloids a mixture of imides? If a simple IR could tell you alot ... Where did the extration procedure come from? But in any case ... Congrats. Thats step one. Two to go. |

I know friend of a friend that can obtain ergot from the wild, but how would that friend of a friend go about purifying it, he doesn't want to contaminate his product.0 |

The old recipes involve culturing the ergot, growing mass quantities in liquid. I believe that the additional extraction steps often described in these recipes would effectively purify the cultured ergot. |

Claviceps paspali is much easier to grow than C purpurea. C purpurea will not produce much LSAs when grown in liquid culture in the lab but C. paspali grows more quickly and produces large amounts of paspalic acid when grown in liquid culture. The paspalic acid is easy to convert to lysergic acid under basic catalysis - like safrole to isosafrole - it just involves the migration of a double bond see Helv. Chim. Acta. 1964, vol 47, 1052; also Helv. Chim. Acta. 1968, vol 51, 1372. I don't think you need Hogland's A-Z at all - any old rubbish would probably suffice - but make sure you include all essential minerals and vitamins. |

Re: Successful Crude Ergot Alkaloid Recovery | Bookmark | |||||
I believe it was the culturing that was flamed more than anything, if I remember correctly. Also there was something to the effect of you could do it but the volume required would be rather unmanageable, certainly not impossible. But KrZs extraction method leaves to question numerous molecules that could have tagged along, and I wonder what references he could supply on this one. I seem to remember the figure of 2g/L as cropping up, even with tryptophan injection, and even then there was the question of extraction. Most of the migraine medication is actually prepared by yeasts now oddly enough, YACS can hold alot of DNA. Most_Hated certainly could never do any of it. |
