Chanoclavine, also known as chanoclavin-l is a tri-cyclic ergot alkaloid (ergoline) isolate of certain fungi. It is mainly produced by members of the genus claviceps.^[1] Long used in traditional Chinese medicine, it was found in 1987 mouse studies to stimulate dopamine D-2 receptors in the brain.^[2]
