is an alkaloid
of the ergoline
family that
occurs in various
species of vines
of the Convolvulaceae

of fungi. As the

in the hallucinogenic
seeds of Rivea

Nicergoline:
Nicergoline
is an ergoloid
mesylate derivative
used to enhance
mental clarity,
perception
and concentration.
Nicergoline,
currently being
used in the battle
to treat
senile dementia,
has been found
to improve mental
agility through
enhancing
perception and
vigilance. In
this way it differs
from the effects
of Hydergine®
(to which it is
chemically similar)
which improves
oxygen stability
and increases
mental ability.
Nicergoline
has alpha-adrenolytic
action which activates
the brain's metabolism
and improves arterial
flow, lowers vascular
resistance and
improves
the use of glucose
and oxygen.
Furthermore,
it is known that
Nicergoline inhibits
platelet
aggregation, and,
animal experiments
have shown,
it increases nerve
growth in the
aged brain.
