Bisphenol A (BPA) and chlorinated bisphenol A (ClBPAs) were detected in wastewater from waste paper recycling plants. In previous study, we showed the acute cytotoxicity of oxidized products of BPA and ClBPAs generated by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. However, estrogenic activities of these photoproducts have not been studied. Therefore, we investigated change of estrogenic activities of BPA and ClBPAs [3-chlorobisphenol A (3-ClBPA), 3,3'-dichlorobisphenol A (3,3'-diClBPA) and 3,3',5-trichlorobisphenol A (3,3',5-triClBPA)] after UVB irradiation using yeast two-hybrid assay. The agonist activities of ClBPAs were higher than that of BPA in the absence of S9. ClBPAs irradiated with UVB lost agonist activities. The addition of S9 also completely erased the activity. The antagonist activities of BPA and ClBPAs with or without UVB irradiation were not detected both in the absence or presence of S9. UVB irradiation (0-100J/cm^2) decreased the agonist activity of 3,3'-diClBPA in proportion to increase of released chloride ion. The agonist activity was completely lost at 50J/cm^2 of UVB, of which dose could dissociated almost all chlorine. These findings suggested that UVB irradiation could decrease the estrogenic activity of chlorinated compounds, which was due to the selective release of chloride ion.
