Rubidium chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula RbCl. It appears to be nontoxic and therapeutically effective in several types of depressive disorders. This drug develops his action on dopaminergic stimulation reducing the depressive pattern. Also radioactive rubidium-82 chloride is used as diagnostic agent in positron emission tomography (PET).

In Vitro Use Guide
Rubidium chloride accelerated cAMP synthesis in rat brain cortex membranes. The effect was dose-dependent and yielded above 2-fold activation of adenylate cyclase. It has been shown that Rb+ influenced directly the catalytic subunit of the enzyme and did not substitute Mg2+ in formation of the metal-ATP complex in this reaction. The stimulatory effect of Rb+ was additive to the activation of adenylate cyclase by the half-maximal (0.3 microM) as well as by the saturating (10 microM) forskolin concentrations, pointing to the fact that these effectors activate different isoforms of the enzyme in rat brain cortex.
