AbstactThe effect of V 2 O 5 addition on molybdates crystallization tendency, glass structure and chemical durability of aluminoborosilicate glass belonging to SiO 2 -B 2 O 3 -CaO-Na 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -MoO 3 system has been studied. The results confirm that V 2 O 5 addition can effectively suppress the crystallization tendency of powellite and enhance the molybdenum solubility in the glass. The MoO 3 solubility limit is found to be 2.8 mol% in the V 2 O 5 -containing aluminoborosilicate glass. Raman results reveal that V 2 O 5 addition seems to modify the local structural environment of isolated MoO 4 units and increase their chemical disorder in the glass, which is favored for molybdenum incorporation in the glass. The molar volume and glass transition temperature of samples are found to depend on V 2 O 5 content. Product consistency test (PCT) results show that the normalized leaching rates of the V 2 O 5 -containing aluminoborosilicate glass maintain at a fairly low level compared with standard borosilicate glassy waste form.

With recent advances and success in several drugs designed to treat acute and chronic diseases, targeted covalent inhibitors show a resurgence in drug discovery. As covalent inhibition is time-dependent, the preferred quantitative potency metric of irreversible inhibitors is the second-order rate constant k inact/K i, rather than IC50. Here, we present the development of a mass spectrometry-based platform for rapid kinetic analysis of irreversible covalent inhibitors. Using a simple liquid handling robot for automated sample preparation and a solid-phase extraction-based RapidFire–MS system for rapid MS analysis, kinetic characterization of covalent inhibitors was performed in high throughput both by intact protein analysis and targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). In addition, a bimolecular reaction model was applied to extract k inact/K i in data fitting, providing tremendous flexibility in the experimental design to characterize covalent inhibitors with various properties. Using KRASG12C inhibitors as a test case, the platform was demonstrated to be effective for studying covalent inhibitors with a wide range of k inact/K i values from single digit to 3 × 105 M–1 s–1.
