| Description | Busulfan is a potent alkylator, with chemotherapeutic activity.In Vitro:Busulfan is a potent alkylating agent, and used as a chemotherapeutic agent. Busulfan (120 μM) results in premature senescence in WI38 cells via the Erk and p38 MAPK pathway, reduces GSH and increases ROS production, but the production can be suppressed by NADPH oxidase[1].In Vivo:Busulfan (40 mg/kg, i.p) increases apoptosis and decreases the testis weight in mice. The testes of Busulfan-treated mice exhibits higher level of pRB expression, inhibits Rb phosphorylation and PCNA expression compared to the control[2]. Busulfan (2.5, 5.0 mg/kg, i.p.) causes earlier occurrence of persistent esturs in a dose dependent manner in rats. Busulfan (5.0 mg/kg) also increases the incidence of uterine adenocarcinomas and multiplicity of uterine neoplastic lesions. In addition, Busulfan decreases the serum 17β-estradiol(E2), progesterone and inhibin levels in rats, and elevates the E2/progesterone ratio only at 5.0 mg/kg[3]. References: | |||||

Busulfan is a DNA alkylating agent [1].
DNA alkylating agent is attached to the guanine base of DNA and stops tumor growth by crosslinking guanine nucleobases in DNA double-helix strands and causes DNA damage [1].
In normal human diploid WI38 fibroblasts, busulfan (7.5-120 μM) induced senescence in a dose-dependant way, which was associated with prolonged activation of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) [2]. The induction of senescence was initiated by the transient depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH) and then an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which activated the Erk and p38 MAPK pathway [1].
In the adult mouse testis, busulfan induced apoptosis and decreased testis weight. In the first week, apoptosis mainly occured to spermatogonia. In the following week, spermatogonia-specific markers Stra 8 and c-kit were reduced but Gli I remained constant, which indicated apoptosis of differentiating type A spermatogonia [3].

High-dose chemotherapy with thiotepa, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide and autologous stem cell transplantation for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma in first complete remission.[Pubmed:28369839]
Cancer. 2017 Aug 15;123(16):3073-3079.
BACKGROUND: High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC-ASCT) is a therapeutic option for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). To the authors' knowledge, data are limited regarding its use among patients in first complete remission (CR1) with the CNS-directed conditioning regimen of thiotepa, Busulfan, and cyclophosphamide (TBC). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients with PCNSL in CR1 who underwent transplantation using a TBC-based conditioning regimen at 2 academic institutions was performed. RESULTS: Forty-six consecutive patients who underwent HDC-ASCT while in CR1 were identified. The most common induction regimen was high-dose methotrexate plus temozolomide and rituximab (59%). No patients received whole-brain radiotherapy. A total of 40 patients (87%) received cytarabine before undergoing ASCT as either induction intensification, early consolidation therapy, or mobilization. The median time from diagnosis to transplantation was 6 months (range, 4-15 months). The median age of the patients at the time of transplantation was 59 years (range, 27-69 years). With a median follow-up of 2.7 years after ASCT (range, 6 months-7.5 years), the Kaplan-Meier estimates of 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival were 95% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 80%-99%) and 92% (95% CI, 77%-97%), respectively. The most common toxicities were severe mucositis (35%) and bacterial infections occurring within 100 days of transplantation (35%). The estimated 2-year nonrecurrence mortality rate was 2.9% (95% CI, 0.2%-13.4%). CONCLUSIONS: HDC-ASCT with a CNS-directed conditioning regimen such as TBC should be considered for patients with PCNSL who are in CR1 because this approach is associated with encouraging disease control and survival in this select patient population.

A Significant Influence of Metronidazole on Busulfan Pharmacokinetics: A Case Report of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring.[Pubmed:28328762]
Ther Drug Monit. 2017 Jun;39(3):208-210.
Busulfan is a cytotoxic agent used in preconditioning for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Therapeutic drug monitoring of Busulfan is necessary owing to its narrow therapeutic range. Patients undergoing preconditioning are susceptible to infection and might require coadministration of antibiotics. We present a case study of a 3-year-old girl with precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who received intravenous Busulfan before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Metronidazole was coadministered before the third dose of Busulfan because of Clostridium difficile infection. The daily pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that the clearance reduced to 57% of that before the coadministration. Although the underlying mechanism is unclear, a significant pharmacokinetic interaction was observed between Busulfan and metronidazole, underscoring the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring.
Haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation without irradiation or busulfan after reduced-intensity conditioning for KMT2A(MLL)-rearranged infant B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Report of two cases.[Pubmed:28332262]
Pediatr Transplant. 2017 Jun;21(4).
We present two infants with KMT2A(MLL)-gene-R-associated BCP-ALL, who received HLA haploidentical PBSCT after RIC. The patients developed ALL at age 6 months and 3 months, respectively. Case 1 underwent PBSCT at the second CR with detectable KMT2A-AFF1(MLL-AF4) fusion gene transcript at 11 months of age, and Case 2 at the first CR without KMT2A-MLLT1(MLL-ENL) fusion gene transcript at 8 months of age. Both patients received G-CSF-mobilized unmanipulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from their HLA haploidentical mothers after administration of FLU, MEL, and ATG. Tacrolimus, methotrexate, and mPSL were administered as prophylaxis against GVHD. Engraftment was rapidly obtained with complete chimerism in both patients. Acute adverse events included acute GVHD in Case 1 and bacterial sepsis in Case 2. At last clinical check at age 5 years and 4 years, respectively, both patients were recurrence-free and attained normal growth and development. We conclude that PBSCT from an HLA haploidentical mother with non-TBI and non-BU regimen seems feasible and efficacious, offering favorable life quality for infants.
Pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can greatly benefit from a novel once-daily intravenous busulfan dosing nomogram.[Pubmed:28370238]
Am J Hematol. 2017 Jul;92(7):607-613.
Busulfan, a bifunctional alkylating agent, has been used as a conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The aim of this study was to derive a novel once-daily intravenous (IV) Busulfan dosing nomogram for pediatric patients undergoing HSCT using a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model. A population PK analysis was performed using 2183 Busulfan concentrations in 137 pediatric patients (age: 0.6-22.2 years), who received IV Busulfan once-daily for 4 days before undergoing HSCT. Based on the final population PK model, an optimal once-daily IV Busulfan dosing nomogram was derived. The percentage of simulated patients achieving the daily target area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by the new nomogram was compared with that by other Busulfan dosing regimens including the FDA regimen, the EMA regimen, and the empirical once-daily regimen without therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). A one-compartment open linear PK model incorporating patient's body surface area, age, dosing day, and aspartate aminotransferase as a significant covariate adequately described the concentration-time profiles of Busulfan. An optimal dosing nomogram based on the PK model performed significantly better than the other dosing regimens, resulting in >60% of patients achieving the target AUC while the percentage of patients exceeding the toxic AUC level was kept <25% during the entire treatment period. A novel once-daily Busulfan dosing nomogram for pediatric patients undergoing HSCT is useful for clinicians, particularly in a setting where TDM service is not readily available or to optimize the dose on day 1.
