Abstract:
Based on standard sampling for Bufonis Venenum, this study analyzed the effect of the origin, and body weight and gender of Bufo bufo gargarizans on the quality of Bufonis Venenum. To be specific, mass spectrometry(MS) and the content determination methods in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020) were adopted. First, MS was performed on 76 Bufonis Venenum samples collected from 40 cities/counties in 17 provinces/autonomous regions which were derived from B. bufo gargarizans and B. melanostictus. Based on content determination, the body weight and gender of B. bufo gargarizans, which influenced the quality of Bufonis Venenum, were evaluated. Multivariate statistical analysis suggested huge difference in the material basis of the medicinal material derived from B. bufo gargarizans and B. melanostictus, and 9 differential compounds were identified. The content of components specified in Chinese Pharmacopoeia was higher in the medicinal material derived from B. bufo gargarizans than in the medicinal material derived from B. melanostictus. The content of the components specified in Chinese Pharmacopoeia was low in Bufonis Venenum derived from heavy B. bufo gargarizans, and higher in the Bufonis Venenum produced by male B. bufo gargarizans than in that produced by female B. bufo gargarizans irrespective of time and geographic location. In summary, this study provide new ideas and reference for the quality control of Bufonis Venenum, collection and processing of Bufonis Venenum, artificial breeding of B. bufo gargarizans, and biosynthesis mechanism of Bufonis Venenum.
