Alinidine (ST567) is a negative chronotrope that was developed in the 1970s and 1980s. It causes bradycardia by inhibiting the pacemaker current by altering the maximal channel conductance and alter the voltage threshold.[1] The development of alinidine was halted because it was not sufficiently specific for its target. It also has a blocking effect on calcium channels and potassium channels. It also causes elongation of re-polarisation after an action potential.[2]

Alinidine did not improve outcomes among patients with acute myocardial infarction in a randomized controlled trial.[3]
