NCIt definition : A synthetic derivative of dimethane-sulfonate with antineoplastic and cytotoxic properties.
Although its mechanism of action is not fully understood, busulfan appears to act
through the alkylation of DNA. Following systemic absorption of busulfan, carbonium
ions are formed, resulting in DNA alkylation and DNA breaks and inhibition of DNA
replication and RNA transcription. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called alkylating
agents.;
