The structure of a hydroacridine with significant pharmaceutical potential is reported. The acridinone ring system is in the shape of a shallow V with the majority of the ring system substituents on its convex surface; a plethora of classical and non-classical hydrogen bonds stack the molecules into interconnected columns.

In the title compound, C33H27BrClNO4, the dihydropyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular O—HO hydrogen bond, with an S(8) ring motif. In the crystal, O—HO, C—HO and C—HCl hydrogen bonds, and C—Hπ interactions link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network. In the acridinedione ring system, the two ring C atoms at the 2- and 3-positions, and the C atom at the 6-position and the atoms of the phenyl ring attached to the C atom at the 6-position are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancy ratios of 0.783 (5):0.217 (5) and 0.526 (18):0.474 (18), respectively.
