Abstract
I HAVE previously shown that a guanylhydrazone derivative of a known steroid molecule is a powerful antimitotic agent1. This compound, the structure of which is shown in Fig. 1, is 3-guanyl-hydrazone-androstan-17-ol; it is listed by the Italian pharmaceutical house Vister as 2052 V (Fig. 1).
