1. ergotamine

   Ergotamine is a naturally occurring type of alkaloid, primarily derived from the ergot fungus. It is commonly used as a medication for treating severe migraines and cluster headaches due to its ability to constrict blood vessels in the brain. It works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain and reducing the inflammation that causes migraine headaches. However, it can have serious side effects and must be used under close medical supervision.

1. Ergotamine

   Ergotamine is an ergopeptine and part of the ergot family of alkaloids; it is structurally and biochemically closely related to ergoline. It possesses structural similarity to several neurotransmitters, and has biological activity as a vasoconstrictor. It is used medicinally for treatment of acute migraine attacks. Medicinal usage of ergot fungus began in the 16th century to induce childbirth, yet dosage uncertainties discouraged the use. It has been used to prevent post-partum haemorrhage. It was first isolated from the ergot fungus by Arthur Stoll at Sandoz in 1918 and marketed as Gynergen in 1921.
