Useful functions of microbial metabolites.

Ciba Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 1992

Nisbet L J

Abstract excerpt

The mood-enhancing effects of fungi and their medicinal properties have been recognized for centuries. Ergot was initially used by midwives to speed childbirth in the Middle Ages. More recently their pharmacological action on dopamine receptors has been exploited to treat post-partum bleeding, migraine, Parkinson's disease and senile dementia. Further indications of the potential value of microbial metabolites...
