title: [Chemical constituents of Bufo Siccus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of Bufo Siccus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Based on silica column chromatography six compounds were obtained from the alcoholic extract of Bufo Siccus and identified by physico-chemical and spectroscopic analyses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The compounds were identified as cholesterol, beta-sitosterol, resibufogenin, cinobufagin, bufalin and gamabufotalin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Studies on the chemical constituents of Bufo Siccus were reported for the first time.
