Hydroxycorticosteroids

Hydroxycorticosteroids (OHCSs) are corticosteroids that have an additional hydroxy (-OH) group.

Steroid skeleton. Carbons 18 and above can be absent.

There are two main positions where the hydroxy group may be added: at carbon atom 11, and at carbon atom 17.

At the 11 position
Corticosterone (an 11-hydroxycorticosteroid).

11-hydroxycorticosteroids (11-OHCSs) include:

At the 17 position
Cortisone (a 17-hydroxycorticosteroid).

17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCSs) include:

gollark: Yes, exactly.
gollark: Gold is rarer, but the gold you have there needs less processing.
gollark: Let's say, I don't know, gold ingots vs iron ore. Imagine you *could* use both.
gollark: Do you want to conserve the rare resources (dark oak) or reduce crafting time?
gollark: Stuff like "should 8 dark oak planks or 1000 oak logs be used" is also a problem.
