    Albert Hofmann — isolated it, 1960

    Hofmann and Hans Tscherter identified ergine (d-lysergic acid amide) and isoergine as the main alkaloids of ololiuqui, the seeds of the Mexican morning glory Turbina (Rivea) corymbosa, in 1960 - the first lysergic acid derivatives found outside fungi, which was initially disbelieved. Ergine itself was not new: Smith and Timmis obtained it from ergot in 1932. Note the site also carries a separate 'ergine' molecule page for the same compound.
