The title compound, C34H52N2O7·CH4O, is the methanol solvate of a difunctionalized derivative of the therapeutic agent 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene. The five six-membered rings of the glycyrrhetinic acid moiety show normal geometries, with four rings in chair conformations and the unsaturated ring in a half-chair conformation. This moiety is substituted by a nitrate ester group and an O-ethylglycine group. In the crystal, the nonsolvent molecules are packed parallel to (010) in a herringbone fashion with the nitrato, ethylglycine and methanol-O atom being proximate. The methanol solvent molecule is anchored via a donated O—H
Oacyl and an accepted N—HO hydrogen bond, giving rise to infinite zigzag chains of hydrogen bonds parallel to [100]. Two weak intermolecular C—HO interactions to the methanol and to an acyl oxygen establish links along [100] and [010], respectively.
