Abstract
Busulfan is an alkylating agent commonly used in preparative regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Early clinical trials, prior to the use of seizure prophylaxis, revealed a high degree of neurotoxicity associated with myeloablative doses of this agent. Phenytoin has been widely used as seizure prophylaxis with busulfan. However, potential concerns with its use include the length of time to achieve a therapeutic steady state, risk of hepatotoxicity, and drug-drug interactions with busulfan and other agents used during conditioning.
