The title compounds, C22H31NO3 and C20H27NO2, have similar conformations except in the molecular geometry and the bonding of two of the rings. These differences lead to marked differences in the biological activities of these compounds. Molecules of both compounds are linked by weak C-H...O hydrogen bonds in the crystal structures.
