Article Abstract
Two new polyamine alkaloids (bufonines A-B), together with four known alkaloids, bufotenidine (), bufotenine (), 1-(-d-ribofuranosyl)-l-1,2,4-triazone () and proline () were isolated from the toad venom. Their structures were identified by UV, HR-ESI-MS, NMR spectral analyses, and comparison of theoretical and experimental ECD data. All compounds were tested in vitro cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines (HT-29, A549 and Hela). None of the compounds showed cytotoxicity towards all tested cell lines. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of alkaloid components from toad venom.

Bufalin, which is isolated from toad venom, exerts positive effects on hearts under pathological circumstance. We aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of bufalin on myocardial I/R injury. In vivo, bufalin ameliorated myocardial I/R injury, which characteristics with better ejection function, decreased infarct size and less apoptosis.

Toad venom, a family of toxic yet pharmacologically valuable biotoxins, has long been utilized in traditional medicine and holds significant promise in modern drug development. Bufotalin, a prominent bufotoxin, has demonstrated potent cytotoxic properties through mechanisms such as apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, endoplasmic reticulum stress activation, and inhibition of metastasis by modulating key pathways including Akt, p53, and STAT3/EMT signaling-these multi-target mechanisms position bufotalin as a promising agent to combat multidrug resistance in cancer therapy. Additionally, advances in bufotalin synthesis, including chemical and biocatalytic methods, have streamlined production, with strategies such as C14α-hydroxylation and novel coupling techniques enhancing yield and reducing environmental impact.

Xueshuan Xinmaining Tablets and Capsules are two Chinese patent medicines with the same prescription, different preparation methods but the same function of replenishing Qi, activating blood, opening orifices, and relieving pain. Xueshuan Xinmaining Capsules were qualitatively analyzed by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS for the first time, and 61 compounds were identified, including 9 phenolic acids, 10 bufadienolides, 15 saponins, 5 bile acids, and 22 other compounds. The chemical composition was slightly different between Xueshuan Xinmaining Tablets and Capsules.

Bladder cancer (BC) is the second most prevalent genitourinary malignancy worldwide. Despite recent approvals of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapy for muscle invasive or recurrent BC, options remain limited for patients with non-muscle invasive BC (NMIBC) refractory to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and chemotherapy. NMIBC is more frequently classified as a luminal subtype, in which increased PPARγ activity is a key feature in promoting tumor growth and evasion of immunosurveillance.

Introduction: Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of programmed cell death that plays a significant role in tumorigenesis. Cinobufotalin (CB), a bufadienolide extracted from toad venom, is associated with antitumor effects in various cancers, including liver cancer. However, the role of CB in pyroptosis and its underlying mechanisms have not been well characterized.
