Lifarizine is a use- and voltage-dependent antagonist of human voltage sensitive sodium currents. Lifarizine inhibited both the plateau and the spike phases of the Ca2+ increases suggesting that, in addition to its known sodium channel blocking properties, it may also inhibit more than one class of calcium channel in the synaptosomes. Lifarizine reduced both infarct area and volume in the mouse with middle cerebral artery occlusion. Lifarizine was in phase II for the treatment of stroke but this investigation was discontinued.
