QUICK LINKS

Busulfan is an antineoplastic bifunctional, DNA alkylating agent that causes DNA damage by cross-linking DNA and proteins. Causes double-base lesions mainly at 5′-GA-3′ and, to a lesser extent, at 5′-GG-3′ sequences. Forms an intrastrand cross-link at the 5′-GA-3′ sequence, and to monoalkylation. Induces normal human fibroblast senescence selectively through Erk and p38 pathways.
