ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Busulfan
is
a
potent
cytotoxic
agent
and
a
bifunctional
alkylating
agent.
In
aqueous
media,
release of the methanesulfonate group produces carbonium ions, which
can alkylate
DNA, thought to be an important biological mechanism for its cytotoxic
effect.
Current literature suggests that high AUC values (>1,500 μMol•min)
may be associated with
an
increased risk of developing hepatic veno-occlusive disease and/or
seizures.
Mean C
max
, AUC, T
1/2
and plasma clearance are provided below for oral busulfan and
Busulfan (See PHARMACOLOGY).

Intravenous
busulfan had a
more consistent pharmacokinetic
profile than oral busulfan
among patients.
Busulfan achieves concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid
approximately equal to those
in
plasma. Irreversible binding to plasma elements, primarily albumin,
has been estimated to
be 32.4 + 2.2%, which is consistent with the reactive electrophilic
properties of this alkylator.
Busulfan
is
predominately
metabolized
through
conjugation
with
glutathione,
both
spontaneously and through glutathione S-transferase (GST).
