Abstract

Adaptive chaos, a concept rooted in chaos theory, describes the dynamic and non-linear behaviour of biological systems that enables adaptability and resilience under fluctuating conditions. This study investigates the potential role of phytochemicals, specifically flavonoids, as chemical promoters of adaptive chaos in biological systems. Using mathematical and bioinformatics modelling, we analyzed 23 representative flavonoids to determine their ability to induce adaptive chaos through receptor-ligand interactions. Ordinary differential equations were employed to simulate binding dynamics and evaluate oscillatory patterns and entropy variations, providing insights into the chaotic properties of these interactions. Key findings highlight that flavonoids such as quercetin, catechin, epicatechin, kaempferol, and apigenin, exhibit distinct capacities to modulate chaotic dynamics, enhancing cellular flexibility and stability. Quercetin emerged as the most effective inducer of adaptive chaos, characterized by high entropy, fractal dimensions and Lyapunov exponents, indicating superior responsiveness to perturbations. Catechin and epicatechin demonstrated targeted effects, particularly in stabilizing mitochondrial oscillations and modulating immune system dynamics, while kaempferol and apigenin maintained moderate adaptability. Correlation analysis further linked flavonoid-induced adaptive chaos with their prevalence in scientific literature, supporting the translational relevance of these compounds in therapeutic applications. The results suggest that flavonoids act as hormetic agents that stabilize oscillatory dynamics, promoting homeostasis and resilience in pathological states such as inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction. This study introduces a novel approach for integrating chaos theory into biochemical modelling, providing a framework for future investigations into the dynamic regulatory roles of phytochemicals in health recovery and disease management.

摘要

适应性混沌是一个源于混沌理论的概念,它描述了生物系统的动态和非线性行为,这种行为使生物系统在波动条件下具备适应性和恢复力。本研究调查了植物化学物质,特别是黄酮类化合物,作为生物系统中适应性混沌的化学促进剂的潜在作用。我们使用数学和生物信息学建模分析了23种代表性黄酮类化合物,以确定它们通过受体 - 配体相互作用诱导适应性混沌的能力。采用常微分方程来模拟结合动力学,并评估振荡模式和熵变化,从而深入了解这些相互作用的混沌特性。主要研究结果表明,槲皮素、儿茶素、表儿茶素、山奈酚和芹菜素等黄酮类化合物具有不同的调节混沌动力学的能力,可增强细胞的灵活性和稳定性。槲皮素是适应性混沌最有效的诱导剂,其特征在于具有高熵、分形维和李雅普诺夫指数,表明对扰动具有卓越的响应能力。儿茶素和表儿茶素显示出靶向作用,特别是在稳定线粒体振荡和调节免疫系统动力学方面,而山奈酚和芹菜素保持适度的适应性。相关性分析进一步将黄酮类化合物诱导的适应性混沌与其在科学文献中的出现频率联系起来,支持了这些化合物在治疗应用中的转化相关性。结果表明,黄酮类化合物作为一种应激剂,可稳定振荡动力学,在炎症和线粒体功能障碍等病理状态下促进体内平衡和恢复力。本研究引入了一种将混沌理论整合到生化建模中的新方法,为未来研究植物化学物质在健康恢复和疾病管理中的动态调节作用提供了一个框架。
