Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₉H₃₇NO₄·H₂O, an androst-5-ene steroid, rings A and C adopt chair conformations, while ring B is in a half-chair conformation. The five-membered ring D adopts an envelope conformation. The molecular packing is probably stabilized by intermolecular O-HN and O-HO hydrogen bonds involving the disordered water molecules.
