Busulphan is an alkylating agent used as conditioning regimen prior to stem cell transplantation. Busulphan is metabolized in the liver and four major metabolites have been identified. The first metabolite is tetrahydrothiophene which is oxidized to tetrahydrothiophene 1-oxide, then sulfolane
Busulfan as a high-dose therapy is an important component of many of the myeloablative regimens for both allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in adults and children. During the last decade, several studies have shown a wide inter- and

Busulfan is the only agent used in myeloablative regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for which therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has been widely used. Studies of oral busulfan (Bu) indicate wide intrapatient and interpatient variations in pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior, particularly

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the definite treatment for patients with thalassemia major. A busulfan (Bu) and cyclophosphamide (Cy)-based regimen has been the standard myeloablative chemotherapy, but it is associated with higher treatment-related toxicity, particularly in patients classified as
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for several malignant and nonmalignant disorders. Busulfan (Bu) and cyclophosphamide (Cy) are the most commonly used alkylators in high-dose pretransplant conditioning for HSCT; a treatment that is correlated with drug-related toxicity
