Vanadates magnesium reaction

High-temperature corrosion can be combated by the introduction of MgO into the boiler where it reacts with vanadium pentoxide to form magnesium ortho vanadate see reaction (17.8) ... 

H. 8-Hydroxyquinaldine (XI). The reactions of 8-hydroxyquinaldine are, in general, similar to 8-hydroxyquinoline described under (C) above, but unlike the latter it does not produce an insoluble complex with aluminium. In acetic acid-acetate solution precipitates are formed with bismuth, cadmium, copper, iron(II) and iron(III), chromium, manganese, nickel, silver, zinc, titanium (Ti02 + ), molybdate, tungstate, and vanadate. The same ions are precipitated in ammoniacal solution with the exception of molybdate, tungstate, and vanadate, but with the addition of lead, calcium, strontium, and magnesium aluminium is not precipitated, but tartrate must be added to prevent the separation of aluminium hydroxide. 

P-gp associated ATPase is vanadate sensitive. A membrane product prepared from baculovirus infected insect cells containing this activity is now commercially available from Gentest Corp. (Woburn, Massachusetts, U.S.). Substrates of P-gp, such as verapamil, have been demonstrated to stimulate this vanadate-sensitive membrane ATPase (123). By determination of inorganic phosphate liberated in the reaction containing a P-gp preparation and a test compound, in the presence and absence of vanadate, one can determine if the test compound is a substrate/inhibitor of P-gp (123,422). Any compound that binds to P-gp would stimulate the magnesium-dependent ATPase, and thus, this method cannot distinguish between a substrate and inhibitor of P-gp.
