Gonane (C17), also known as perhydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthrene, is a tetracyclic hydrocarbon ring structure and the fundamental steroid nucleus.[1][2] It consists of a phenanthrene ring fused with a cyclopentane ring. Unlike steroid hormones, gonane has no methyl groups at the C10 and C13 positions and no side chain at the C17 position.[2] Because gonane has six centers of chirality, it has 64 (26) theoretically possible stereoisomers.[1] However, only a few of these stereoisomers are actually encountered with steroids.[1] The most common stereoisomers of gonane are 5α-gonane and 5β-gonane.

Estrane (C18) is the 13β-methyl variant of gonane, androstane (C19) is the 10β,13β-dimethyl variant of gonane, and pregnane (C21) is the 10β,13β-dimethyl, 17β-ethyl variant of gonane.[3][4]
