High-quality leads

PbEu (anti-knock agents), radiation and sound shields, in paints, high quality glass. World production 1980 4 0 megatonnes. Lead compounds are toxic and hazardous to health. 

Finally, values of sx are directly proportional to transmittance for indeterminate errors due to fluctuations in source intensity and for uncertainty in positioning the sample cell within the spectrometer. The latter is of particular importance since the optical properties of any sample cell are not uniform. As a result, repositioning the sample cell may lead to a change in the intensity of transmitted radiation. As shown by curve C in Figure 10.35, the effect of this source of indeterminate error is only important at low absorbances. This source of indeterminate errors is usually the limiting factor for high-quality UV/Vis spectrophotometers when the absorbance is relatively small. 

Large quantities of solvents are employed for sample preparation, in particular, and these are then concentrated down to a few milliliters. So particularly high quality materials that are as free as possible from residual water and especially free from nonvolatile or not readily volatile impurities ought to be employed here such impurities are enriched on concentration and can lead to gross contamination. The same considerations also apply to preparative chromatography. Special solvents of particular purity are now available. 

The fluorine concentration in hydrofluorides of tantalum and niobium is an extremely important issue. Fluorine that separates into the gaseous phase interacts with the construction elements of the furnaces, leading to additional contamination of the final product by silicon, aluminum, etc. Thus, it is recommended to perform diying in crucibles made of Teflon or polypropylene with appropriate temperature limitations. Use of crucibles made of carbon-glass ensures high quality and a broad working temperature range, at least up to 300-350°C. 

Lead-likeness and drug-likeness were introduced to describe high-quality medicinally relevant compounds and a great deal of effort was devoted over the last 10... 

Abstract High quality leads provide the foundation for the discovery of successful clinical development candidates, and therefore the identification of leads is an essential part of drug discovery. Many factors contribute to the quality of a lead, including biological, physicochemical, ADME, and PK parameters. The identification of high quality leads, which are needed for successful lead optimization, requires the optimization of all of these parameters. Parallel optimization of all parameters is the most efficient way to achieve the goal of lead identification.
