Rapid and accurate method for quantifying busulfan in plasma samples by isocratic liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Administration of busulfan is extending rapidly as a part of a conditioning regimen in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Monitoring blood plasma levels of busulfan is recommended for identifying the optimal dose in patients and for minimizing toxicity. The aim of th...

Description
Summary:Administration of busulfan is extending rapidly as a part of a conditioning regimen in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Monitoring blood plasma levels of busulfan is recommended for identifying the optimal dose in patients and for minimizing toxicity. The aim of this research was to validate a simple, rapid, and cost-effective analytical tool for measuring busulfan in human plasma that would be suitable for routine clinical use. This novel tool was based on liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.
