Ergot Alkaloids is a class of naturally occurring indole-derived mycotoxins produced primarily by fungi of the genus *Claviceps*, distinguished by their potent neurotoxic and vasoconstrictive properties that can induce ergotism in humans and animals through the contamination of cereals and food grains.
