OBJECTIVE: To establish a HPLC method to determine the contents of active constituents in Venenum Bufonis. METHOD: In determining the contents of resibufogenin and cinobufagin in the traditional Chinese medicine Venenum Bufonis, the mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.5% KH2PO4 solution(50:50)(pH adjusted with value phosphoric acid to 3.25 +/- 0.02). RESULT: The constituents thus determined have good linearity and separation. The average recovery of resibufogenin was 100.35%, RSD 1.86%; the average recovery of cinobufagin was 100.38%, RSD 2.09%. CONCLUSION: The method was convenient, rapid, accurate and practicable.
