Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study and develop the quality standards of Venenum Bufonis sustained-release pellets. METHODS TLC method was used to identify agents in various medicinal materials. The content of cinobufagin and resibufogenin were determined by HPLC. The ultraviolet spectrophotometer was used to determine indole alkaloids. RESULTS Corresponding spots were observed in 3 batches of samples by comparing with the reference substance. Negative preparations had no interference. The linear range of cinobufagin was 0.018 4-0.570 4 μg(r=0.999 8, n=6), and the average recovery rate was 100.46%, RSD=3.08%(n=9). The linear range of resibufogenin was 0.007 8-0.241 8 μg(r=0.999 8, n=6), and the average recovery rate was 98.28%, RSD=2.22%(n=9). It was preliminarily determined that the total content of cinobufagin and resibufogenin of 3 batches of samples was not <0.006 g.g
-1, and the content of indole alkaloids contents was not <0.00 7 g.g
-1. CONCLUSION This method is specific, simple and feasible to be the quality standard of Venenum Bufonis sustained-release pellets.
