(S)-Carteolol is an enantiomer of the racemic drug carteolol, that is used to treat glaucoma. (S) isomer is a partial agonist with the high affinity to the beta-adrenoceptors. It was shown, that in the treatment of glaucoma, the therapeutic advantage of the R(+)-isomers is similar to the S(-)-isomers and there is no stereo-selectivity between the two enantiomers.
