16α-Iodo-E2, or16α-iodoestradiol, is asynthetic,steroidal, potentestrogen with slight preference for theERα over theERβ that is used inscientific research.[1][2] The KD of 16α-iodo-E2 for the ERα is 0.6 nM and for the ERβ is 0.24 nM, a 4-fold difference inaffinity, whereasestradiol is considered to have similar affinity for the two receptor subtypes.[2] Unlike the case of the much weakerestriol (16α-hydroxyestradiol), 16α-iodo-E2 is considered to be equipotent with estradiol in terms of estrogenic activity.[3]Radiolabeled [16α-125I]iodo-E2 has been employed inimaging to study theestrogen receptor.[4]
