Abstract
3-Hydroxyestra-1,3,5(10),7-tetraen-17-one, C18H20O2, crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) from ethyl acetate. The planarity of the B ring, and the difference in puckering of the C and D rings from that of estrone, are due to the presence of the C7 = C8 double bond, which may explain its function as an inhibitor of human type 1 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, instead of being its substrate.Entities:
