Spirostan is a defined parent hydride in the nomenclature of steroids.[1] It is characterised by a bicyclic side chain containing a ketone spiro acetal group. In the spirostan structure, the configurations of carbons 5 and 25 is not defined, and so must be specified for each derivative. Spirostan steroids include:

  C-5 C-25
sarsasapogenin β S
smilagenin β R
tigogenin α R
disogenin Δ5 R
