title: Determination of busulfan in plasma by GC-MS with selected-ion monitoring.
abstract: A GC-MS technique with selected-ion monitoring is described for the determination of busulfan in plasma. Busulfan is extracted from plasma with methylene chloride and converted to 1,4-diiodobutane. Analysis by GC-MS with selected-ion monitoring (m/z 183) gave a relative standard deviation of +/- 4.3% (n = 5) at the 10-ng/ml level.
