Bufothionine is a sulfur-containing compound which is present in the parotoid gland of certain toads of the genera Bufo and Chaunus. The structure has been shown by X-ray crystallography to be (1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5,5-dimethylpyrrolo-[4,3,2-de]quinolinio)-6-sulfate. This specific compound can be found in the skin of certain species of toad such as the Asiatic Toad, Chaunus arunco, Chaunus crucifer, Chaunus spinulosus, and Chaunus arenarum.
