Metabolite Identification
Common NameBusulfan
DescriptionBusulfan, also known as busulphano or myleran, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organosulfonic acid esters. These are esters of sulfonic acid, which have the general structure RS(=O)2OR' (R,R' = organyl, not H). Busulfan is a drug which is used for use in combination with cyclophosphamide as a conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation for chronic myelogenous (myeloid, myelocytic, granulocytic) leukemia (fda has designated busulfan as an orphan drug for this use). it is also used as a component of pretransplant conditioning regimens in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia and nonmalignant diseases. It is also used as an insect sterilant. Busulfan is possibly neutral. Busulfan is formally rated as a carcinogen (by IARC 1) and is also a potentially toxic compound. A methanesulfonate ester that is butane-1,4-diol in which the hydrogens of the hydroxy groups are replaced by methanesulfonyl groups. An alkylating antineoplastic agent, it is used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (although it has been largely replaced by newer drugs).

General function:
Involved in monooxygenase activity
Specific function:
Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It performs a variety of oxidation reactions (e.g. caffeine 8-oxidation, omeprazole sulphoxidation, midazolam 1'-hydroxylation and midazolam 4-hydroxylation) of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. Acts as a 1,8-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase. The enzyme also hydroxylates etoposide.
