Ergocristine Methanesulfonate Salt
Ergocristine methanesulfonate salt is a salt of ergocristine, an ergot alkaloid derived from rye ergot, which contains lysergic acid as a structural component. Although it is a derivative of lysergic acid, it is more specifically an ergot alkaloid salt, and under the subheading note, derivatives are classified with the parent compound. Since the tariff item covers lysergic acid and its salts, this salt is included as it is a salt of a lysergic acid-containing alkaloid.
