The synthesis of S-substituted derivatives of 1,4-benzoquinone-guanylhydrazone-thiosemicarbazone is described. The obtained 1,4-benzoquinone-guanylhydrazone-S-alkyl (resp. aralkyl)-isothiosemicarbazones, in comparison with the unsubstituted standard compound, showed a significantly decreased biological activity against the murine leukemias L 1210 and P 388 as well as against the growth of several kinds of bacteria. Therefore the S-substitution seems not to be useful for reaching a maximum activity.
