Three crystal forms of the steroid 20-hydroxyecdysone were identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: a solvent-free modification, a methanol solvate hydrate and a trihydrate. The structure of a closely related steroid, polypodine B (the 5,20-dihydroxy derivative of ecdysone), was determined in its monohydrate form. Since the unit-cell volume of unsolvated 20-hydroxyecdysone was found to be considerably smaller than that of ecdysone [Huber & Hoppe (1965). Chem. Ber. 98, 2403-2424], a new structure determination of ecdysone was performed, which confirmed the unexpected difference between the unit-cell volumes. The crystals of ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone are isostructural, while the mixed solvate of 20-hydroxyecdysone is homostructural with the hydrate of polypodine B. A detailed analysis of the hydrogen-bond networks in these closely related crystal pairs highlights their packing similarities, demonstrates the role of solvent molecules, and explains the unexpectedly small cell volume of 20-hydroxyecdysone.
