The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C30H48ClN3O, contains two molecules, A and B. In both molecules, the three cyclohexane rings in the steroid fused ring systems adopt chair conformations, while the cyclopentane rings adopt envelope and twist conformations in molecules A and B, respectively. In molecule B, the cyano group is disordered over two orientations with refined site-occupancies of 0.593 (8) and 0.407 (8). An intramolecular C—H⋯N interaction forms an S(10) ring in both molecules. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N interactions, resulting is chains propagating along the a-axis direction.

The title compound, C28H44O4·0.56H2O, is a co-crystal of methyl isoeichlerialactone monohydrate as the major component and methyl isoeichlerialactone as the minor component in a 0.55778 (3):0.44222 (3) ratio. The conformations of both components are identical except for that of the –COOCH3 group of the methyl propanoate side chain on the cyclohexane ring which is positionally disordered over two orientations. The molecule of methyl isoeichlerialactone has three fused rings and all rings are trans-fused. The two cyclohexane rings are in standard chair conformations and the cyclopentane ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O interactions link methyl isoeichlerialactone molecules into screw chains along [010].
