Résumé : The basic principles of chemical ecology and chemoreception will be discussed and examples given of compounds known to possess biological activity, particularly in the control of feeding behaviour. Many hundreds of marine natural products have been isolated and characterized, but in only a few instances have their biological or ecological roles been determined. Conversely, a wide variety of chemically mediated behavioural responses have been described where the chemical mediator remains unidentified.
On considère les principes de l'écologie chimique et de la chemoréception et on donne des exemples de substances composées qui possèdent des activités biologiques, surtout dans le contrôle de l'alimentation. On a isolé et caracterisé beaucoup de produits naturels marins, mais on n'a déterminé qu'en peu de cas leurs rôles biologiques ou écologiques. D'autre part, on a décrit un assortiment de réactions produites chimiquement dans lesquelles le médiateur chimique ne s'est pas identifié.

Résumé : International audience
Among pregnant women ibuprofen is one of the most frequently used pharmaceutical compounds with up to 28% reporting use. Regardless of this, it remains unknown whether ibuprofen could act as an endocrine disruptor as reported for fellow analgesics paracetamol and aspirin. To investigate this, we exposed human fetal testes (7-17 gestational weeks (GW)) to ibuprofen using ex vivo culture and xenograft systems. Ibuprofen suppressed testosterone and Leydig cell hormone INSL3 during culture of 8-9 GW fetal testes with concomitant reduction in expression of the steroidogenic enzymes CYP11A1, CYP17A1 and HSD17B3, and of INSL3. Testosterone was not suppressed in testes from fetuses younger than 8 GW, older than 10-12 GW, or in second trimester xenografted testes (14-17 GW). Ex vivo, ibuprofen also affected Sertoli cell by suppressing AMH production and mRNA expression of AMH, SOX9, DHH, and COL2A1. While PGE2 production was suppressed by ibuprofen, PGD2 production was not. Germ cell transcripts POU5F1, TFAP2C, LIN28A, ALPP and KIT were also reduced by ibuprofen. We conclude that, at concentrations relevant to human exposure and within a particular narrow â €' early window' of sensitivity within first trimester, ibuprofen causes direct endocrine disturbances in the human fetal testis and alteration of the germ cell biology. © The Author(s) 2017.
