Abstract: 2-Aminopyridine 2-AP and 26-diaminopyridine 26-DAP are two derivatives of aminopyridines that act as an
important organic intermediates mostly used in medicines dyes and organic sensors. The aim of the study was to evaluate the
impact of biofield energy treatment on isotopic abundance ratios of

using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS. The 2-AP and 26-DAP samples were divided into two parts: control
and treated. The control sample remained as untreated while the treated sample was further divided into four groups as T1 T2
T3 and T4. The treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. The GC-MS spectra of 2-AP and 26-
DAP showed five and six m/z peaks respectively due to the molecular ion peak and fragmented peaks of aminopyridine
derivatives. The isotopic abundance ratio of

1. Introduction
Most of the elements occurred in nature as a mixture of
isotopes. The relative abundances of isotopes is different at
different places on the earth and remained constant for years.
The distribution of contaminant sources of any molecule on a
native or global scale can be understood by determining the
isotopic abundance ratio 1. Any kinetic process that leads to
the local depletion or enhancement of isotopes in organic
molecules can be successfully determined using gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS 2. These
deviations from perfect chemical equivalence are termed as
isotope effects. The isotopic abundance ratio is commonly
reported in terms of atom percent and determined by high
resolution mass spectrometry HRMS spectrometry 3. For

Moreover the rate of chemical reaction may vary with the
mass of the nucleus with different isotopic substitutions
which slightly affect the partitioning of energy within the
molecules 4.
The aminopyridines selected for this study are heterocyclic
pharmacophores for many bioactive small organic molecules
5. The growing interest of these molecules
pharmacologically due to its rare tendency to be oxidized like
aniline derivatives 6. Aminopyridines avoid such problems
due to its reduced oxidation potential thus make it a safer

alternatives for drug design. Additionally they are
advantageous because they have exhibited strong absorption
and emission spectra and thus useful as fluorescent tags while
investigating the activities on a target 7.
Aminopyridines are used as a drug for symptomatic
treatment of multiple sclerosis by blocking potassium
channels and prolonging action potentials 8 9. It has been
used as intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceutical
agents such as piroxicam sulfapyridine tenoxicam and
tripelennamine 6 10. Besides diaminopyridines are mostly
used for synthesis of dyes cosmetics drugs and explosives
11 12. It is also used as intermediate for the synthesis of
epoxy curing agents polyamides and preparation of
analgesic phenazo- pyridine hydrochloride 13. Additionally
both the aminopyridine derivatives were successfully utilized
as organic fluorescence sensors for the detection of metal
cation 14.
The isotopic abundances of ratios of

N could be locally altered by kinetically driven
chemical reactions. There is an alternative and well-known
approach Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment also known
as The Trivedi Effect
®
that can be applied on aminopyridine
derivatives to undergo the isotopic changes. The
physicochemical properties of various molecules and crystals
were already altered by utilizing Mr. Trivedi’s biofield
energy treatment 15-17. The National Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine NCCAM has
recommended the use of energy therapy as a part of
Complementary and alternative medical therapies CAM in
the healthcare sector 18. CAM includes numerous energy-
healing therapies in which the biofield therapy is a form of
putative energy therapy that is being widely used worldwide
to improve the overall health of human beings. Humans have
the ability to harness energy from the environment/universe
that can be transmitted to any objects around.
Based on the previous results achieved by the biofield
energy treatments by Mr. Trivedi in various fields biofield
energy treated 2-AP and 26-DAP were taken for mass
spectroscopy studies to evaluate the isotopic abundance ratio
of

2. Experimental
2.1. Materials
Both 2-aminopyridine 2-AP and 26-diaminopyridine
26-DAP were procured from S. D. Fine Chemicals Pvt.
Limited India.
2.2. Method
Each of the 2-AP and 26-DAP sample was distributed into
two parts where one part was referred as control and the
other part was considered as treated sample. The treated
sample was further divided into four groups i.e. T1 T2 T3
and T4 and handed over to Mr. Trivedi for biofield energy
treatment under standard laboratory conditions. Mr. Trivedi
provided the treatment through his energy transmission
process to the treated groups without touching the sample.
The control and treated samples were characterized using gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS.
2.3. GC-MS Spectroscopy
The gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy GC-MS
analysis was performed on Perkin Elmer/auto system XL
with Turbo mass USA having detection limit up to 1
picogram. The GC-MS spectra were obtained in the form
of abundance vs. mass to charge ratio m/z. The isotopic
abundance ratio PM+1/PM was expressed by its deviation
in treated samples as compared to the control. The percentage
change in isotopic ratio PM+1/PM was calculated from the
following formula:
Percent change in isotopic abundance ratio

where R

and R

are the ratios of intensity at
PM+1 to PM in mass spectra of treated and control
samples respectively.

Mass spectrum of 2-AP is well matched with the reported
literature 19. MS spectra showed five peaks including
molecular ion peak for both the control and treated samples
of 2-AP. Five major peaks at m/z94 67 51 41 and 28 were
observed that corresponded to the following ions
respectively: C

ions. The molecular ion peak is the base peak in both control
and treated samples at m/z94. The other four peaks were
observed in both control and all treated 2-AP samples due to
the fragmentation of molecular ion inside mass spectrum.
Further m/z67 51 41 and 28 peaks were observed might
be due to first reduction of the molecular ion to pyrrole
which again fragmented to give buten-3-yne propene and
ethane respectively.
The intensity ratio and calculated percentage isotopic
abundance ratio of all three elements presented in Table 1.
Moreover the isotopic abundance ratio PM+1/PM in
control and treated 2-AP was plotted in Fig. 3.
It was clearly seen from the Table 1 and Fig. 3 that the
isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM of 2-AP sample was
decreased in T1 55.83 and T2 25.12 but increased
significantly in T3 117.19 and T4 202.26 after
biofield energy treatment as compared to the control. The
decrease in the isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in T1
and T2 may have nominal effect on the bond energies and
reactivity of the molecules of treated samples. However the
increased isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in T3 and
T4 may increase the number of higher isotopes PM+1 in the
molecule. It may directly affect the bond strength of the C-H
N-H and N-C bonds. The increased isotopic abundance ratio
of PM+1/PM in the treated T3 and T4 sample may
increase µ effective mass and binding energy in the 2-AP
molecule with heavier isotopes and this may result in
enhance binding energy and stability of the molecule 20.

Mass spectra of both control and treated samples were
shown in Fig. 4 and 5 respectively. The molecular ion peak
was observed at m/z109 in mass spectra of both control and
treated samples. The calculated relative intensity ratio of
PM+1/PM and percentage abundance ratios are given in
Table 2. Total five major peaks were observed in the mass
spectra of both control and treated spectra of 26-DAP at

ions. In both the molecules 2-
AP and 26-DAP molecular ion peak was observed as a base
peak. However they exhibited different fragmentation
pattern due to the structural and reactivity differences in
them. The isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM of control
and treated 26-DAP was calculated and presented in Fig. 6.
The isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM of treated 26-
DAP was increased upto 370.54 in T3 T17.30
T240.24 and T412.82 as compared to the control.
The mass spectrum of control 26-DAP is well supported
with the reported literature 21.
If the lighter isotopes were substituted by heavier isotopes
then the effective mass µ of the particular bond is increased
and subsequently binding energy will be increased 20. The
reverse may also happen if the heavier isotopes part of the
chemical bonding were substituted by lighter isotopes in a
molecule. Thus the increased isotopic abundance ratio of
PM+1/PM in 2-AP and 26-DAP might increase the
effective mass and binding energy after biofield energy
treatment that may enhance the chemical stability of
aminopyridine derivatives. On the contrary the slight
decrease in isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in treated
T1 and T2 in 2-AP might reduce the effective mass of the
particular bond and binding energy will be decreased.
Further the increased PM+1/PM will increase the effective
mass which may decrease the reactivity of the aminopyridine
derivatives.

strength stability and binding energy of the aromatic ring of
2-AP and 26-DAP molecules might be increased due to the
higher effective mass µ after biofield energy treatment 22.
The decreased reactivity of the aminopyridine derivatives
may increase the stability of the aminopyridine based
products in pharmaceutical industry by reducing the
degradation kinetics in the finished products after production.

Furthermore the organic molecules used for fluorescence
sensors are exposed to UV radiation continuously for a
longer period of time. Photo stability is a great concern in
order to use them successfully as sensors without
degradation. After biofield treatment the stability may
enhance due to the presence of higher isotopes an enable
them to expose the materials under UV radiation for longer
period 14.

In summary aminopyridine derivatives 2-AP and 26-

biofield energy treatment and observed a significant change
in isotope abundance of

compared to the respective control samples. The percent
change in isotope abundance ratio of PM+1/PM was
increased upto 202.26 in 2-AP T4 while the isotopic
abundance ratio was increased significantly upto 370.54 in
treated 26-DAP T3 sample. The changes in isotopic
abundance ratios have significant impact on bond energies
and chemical reactivity of the molecules. Due to the
enhancement in the isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM
in 2-AP and 26-DAP the reactivity may be reduced
significantly by increase in the effective mass m and the
binding energy of the treated sample. It can be concluded
from the above observations that the enhancement of heavier
isotopes in the aromatic ring as well as the functional groups
may decrease the reactivity of the aromatic ring and the
functional groups of aminopyridine derivatives consequently
enabling their utility as pharmacophore in the pharmaceutical
industry and as an active material in fluorescence sensors.
