16α-LE2, or 16α-lactone-estradiol, also known as 3,17β-dihydroxy-19-nor-17α-pregna-1,3,5-(10)-triene-21,16α-lactone, is a

binding affinity for the ERα over the ERβ.[2]

In rodents, 16α-LE2 has no effect on

bone mineral density are mediated via the ERα, whereas the ERβ does not appear to be involved.[4]
