SYNTHESIS OF RADIOLABELED ERGOPEPTINE ALKALOIDS PRESENT IN ENDOPHYTE-INFECTED TALL FESCUE

Objective

To develop strategies for the successful incorporation of radiocarbon into ergopeptine alkaloids present in Neotyphodium-infected Tall Fescue. Specific objectives are to incorporate radiocarbon into the tricyclic peptide portion ergovaline, the predominant ergopeptidine alkaloid present in endophyte-infected Tall Fescue.
