Alifedrine, also known as D13625, is a positive inotropic agent. Alifedrine moderately reduces the severity of ischaemia and reperfusion-induced ventricular arrhythmias. Alifedrine has an unusual and useful spectrum of pharmacological activity in that it combines antiarrhythmic activity with an ability to improve cardiac function. Alifedrine in the tested model markedly improved left ventricular function by balanced stimulation of the myocardium and reduction of pre- and afterload.
