Abstract
This research focused on biological systems, specifically the life cycle of Caenorhabditis elegans larvae. The effect of biologically active plant-derived substances (24 samples of medicinal plant components) on larval growth rate was studied. The ImageJ program was used to process images of the biological system (larvae) in combination with pattern recognition algorithms and machine learning. The use of correlation analysis allowed optimizing the number of studied dependent variables for consideration. The Kruskal-Wallis and median tests were used for samples that did not fit the normal distribution. The analysis of variance revealed that some variables were significantly dependent on the induction time, while others were dependent on the samples of biologically active substances (BAS) components. When comparing the growth rate of larvae to the control, three BAS samples showed a significant difference; for remaining samples no significant influence of BAS components at a fixed concentration on growth dynamics was found. Using the information on the transition of larvae from one stage to the next with the addition of the BAS component, the following samples with significant biological activity were identified: naringenin from Medicágo satíva, baicalin from Scutellaria baicalensis, ononin from Trifolium pratense, 18-genistein from Trifolium pratense, apigenin from Achillea millefolium, rutin from Filipéndula ulmária, ursolic acid from Thymus vulgaris, myricetin from Hedysarum neglectum, and kaempferol from Panax ginseng. The results of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the impact on the biological system allowed the components of biologically active substances with pronounced biological activity to be selected for further detailed study.
