An alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetic amine, biosynthesized from tyramine in the CNS and platelets and also in invertebrate nervous systems. It is used to treat hypotension and as a cardiotonic. The natural D (-) form is more potent than the L (+) form in producing cardiovascular adrenergic responses. It is also a neurotransmitter in some invertebrates.
