The drug RUBY-FILL contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):
|
1
Rubidium ⁸²Rb chloride
UNII F0Z746KRKQ - RUBIDIUM CHLORIDE RB-82
|
|
Rb 82 is analogous to potassium ion (K+) in its biochemical behavior and is rapidly extracted by the myocardium proportional to the blood flow. Rb+ participates in the sodium-potassium (Na+/K+) ion exchange pumps that are present in cell membranes. The intracellular uptake of Rb 82 requires maintenance of ionic gradient across cell membranes. Rb 82 radioactivity is increased in viable myocardium reflecting intracellular retention, while the tracer is cleared rapidly from necrotic or infarcted tissue. |
