Chemical compound and disease context of Myleran

 

Biological context of Myleran

  • Busulfan pharmacokinetics using a single daily high-dose regimen in children with acute leukemia [14].
  • Dose (milligrams per kilogram), peak plasma level, and area under the curve (AUC) were all higher in 12 children treated with 150 mg/m2 busulfan than in 9 children treated with 4 mg/kg [14].
  • We applied a well-tolerated, nonirradiation-based, allogeneic transplantation protocol using nonmyeloablative preconditioning (low-dose busulfan) and costimulation blockade (CTLA4-Ig and anti-CD40L) to produce mixed chimerism and transplantation tolerance to fully major histocompatibility complex-mismatched donor marrow [15].
  • Once engraftment occurred, whether patients had or had not received Busulfan in the conditioning regimen did not influence the kinetics and quality of T-cell function development [16].
  • A complete cytogenetic response was induced in seven (8.8%) of 80 patients treated with IFN-alpha and two (2.5%) of 79 patients treated with busulfan, and a partial cytogenetic response was 7.5% (6/80) and 2.5% (2/79), respectively [17].
 

Anatomical context of Myleran

  • A single injection of Myleran reduced the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell, i.e., colony forming unit(s) (CFU), and the erythropoietin-responsive cell (ERC) in polycythemic mice to around 0.5% that of the controls [18].
  • After high-dose chemotherapy in 14 of the patients (busulphan and cyclophosphamide), these cells were used to augment autologous bone-marrow rescue and post-transplant filgrastim treatment [19].
  • To test this possibility 587 patients with CML in chronic phase were randomly allocated to receive lymphoblastoid cell-line interferon-alpha n1 (IFN-alpha, n = 293) or chemotherapy with busulphan or hydroxyurea (no IFN-alpha, n = 294) as maintenance after initial induction treatment with cytotoxic drugs [20].
  • The rate of decrease of the elevated leukocyte count was more rapid with DBM, but prolonged disease control off treatment occurred in only three of 14 cases as opposed to nine of fifteen busulfan-treated patients who required a median delay of 12 mo before maintenance could be initiated [21].
  • Despite slower early reconstitution after lower doses of busulfan, donor lymphocytes exceeded 90% to 95% by 90 to 120 days after HCT in all mice given at least 20 mg/kg [22].
