Ergometrine and methylergometrine are two alkaloids that are used as maleate salts for the
prevention and control of postpartum hemorrhage. Although the two molecules have been
known for a long time, few and discordant crystallographic and NMR spectroscopic data are
available in the literature. With the aim of providing more conclusive data, we performed a
careful NMR study for the complete assignment of the 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR signals of

Ergometrine and methylergometrine are two alkaloids that are used as maleate salts for the prevention and control of postpartum hemorrhage. Although the two molecules have been known for a long time, few and discordant crystallographic and NMR spectroscopic data are available in the literature. With the aim of providing more conclusive data, we performed a careful NMR study for the complete assignment of the 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR signals of ergometrine, methylergometrine, and their maleate salts. This information allowed for a better definition of their conformational equilibria. In addition, the stereochemistry and the intermolecular interactions in the solid state of the two maleate salts were deeply investigated by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing the capability of these derivatives to act as both hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors, and evidencing a correlation between the number of intermolecular interactions and their different solubility.
