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.

IV 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.
