Whats the difference between these?

[canadianboy13]

2a, 17a-dimethyl-5a-androst-3-one-17b-ol (beastdrol)

2a,17a-dimethyl-etiocholan-3-one-17b-ol

My friends got some SD clone, and i was looking at needtos forumal which is also a SD clone and was wondering the difference.

as you can see everythings almost the same except the middle part of the structure

etioallocholan = 5a-androst = 'a skeleton' or 'a isomer'

etiocholan = 5b-androst = 'b skeleton' or 'b isomer'

It's the same thing.

It should read, "etioallocholan" .
