Notes: Carteolol is an antagonist of β-adrenergic receptors (Kd = 13 nM).{38754,38755} It blocks isoproterenol-induced increases in heart rate, contractile force, and blood pressure in vagotomized dogs (ED50s = 2.3, 3.1, and 1.8 µg/kg, respectively).{38756} The (R) and (S)-enantiomers of carteolol reduce intraocular pressure to similar levels in rabbits when applied topically as a 1% solution.{38757} Formulations containing carteolol have been used in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.
