In the published article, there was an error in Scheme 2 as published. The stereogenic center in compounds 9-11 was incorrectly depicted. The corrected Scheme 2 and its caption appear below.
SCHEME 2

Sulfation of the pregnenolone (6) and pregnendiol (9) steroids.
In the published article, there was an error in Supplementary Data Sheet 1, section Compound characterisation. The name of the fourth compound was incorrectly captured as “Pregnanediol or (3S,8S,9S,10R,13S,14S,17S)-17-((S)-1-hydroxyethyl)-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-ol (9).”
The correct name appears below:
“Pregnanediol or (3S,8S,9S,10R,13S,14S,17S)-17-((R)-1-hydroxyethyl)-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-ol (9).”
In the published article, there was an error in Supplementary Data Sheet 1, section Compound characterisation. The name of the fifth compound was incorrectly captured as “Disodium-3,17-pregnanediol disulfate or sodium (S)-1-((3S,8S,9S,10R,13S,14S,17S)-10,13-dimethyl-3-(sulfonatooxy)-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)ethyl sulfate (11).”
The correct name appears below:
“Disodium-3,17-pregnanediol disulfate or sodium (3S,8S,9S,10R,13S,14S,17S)-10,13-dimethyl-17-((R)-1-(sulfonatooxy)ethyl)-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl sulfate (11).”
