Busulfan History

  Busulfan was the mainstay of the chemotherapeutic treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) until it was displaced by the new gold standard, Imatinib, though it is still in use to a degree as a result of the drug's relative inexpense.

Busulfan Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen producing leukemia, kidney, and uterine tumors. Experimental neoplastigenic and tumorigenic data. Poison by ingestion, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intravenous, and possibly other routes. Ingestion by pregnant women can cause cancer of the reproductive system of the fetus including the uterus. Human teratogenic effects by ingestion and possibly other routes include developmental abnormalities of the eye, ear, craniofacial area including the nose and tongue, gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, urogenital system, and other unspecified areas. Other human reproductive effects by ingestion and possibly other routes include: impotence, changes in the uterus, cervix, and vagina, and menstrual-cycle disorders. Experimental reproductive effects. Human systemic effects by ingestion: general arteriolar or venous dilation of the eye, changes in structure or function of salivary glands. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx. See also Hazard SULFONATES.
