17α-Epiestriol, or simply 17-epiestriol, also known as 16α-hydroxy-17α-estradiol or estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,16α,17α-triol, is a minor and weak endogenous estrogen, and the 17α-epimer of estriol (which is 16α-hydroxy-17β-estradiol).^[1]^[2]^[3] It is formed from 16α-hydroxyestrone.^[4]^[5] In contrast to other endogenous estrogens like estradiol, 17α-epiestriol is a selective agonist of the ERβ.^[6] It is described as a relatively weak estrogen, which is in accordance with its relatively low affinity for the ERα.^[7] 17α-Epiestriol has been found to be approximately 400-fold more potent than estradiol in inhibiting tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) expression in vitro.^[8]
