| + | Carvedilol is both a non-selective β-adrenergic receptor antagonist (β1, β2) and an α-adrenergic receptor antagonist (α1). The S(–) enantiomer accounts for the beta-blocking activity whereas the S(–) and R(+) enantiomers have alpha-blocking activity.<ref name="a15">[https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/020297s029lbl.pdf "Coreg - Food and Drug Administration"] (PDF).</ref> The affinity (Ki) of carvedilol for the β-adrenergic receptors is 0.32 nM for the human β1-adrenergic receptor and 0.13 to 0.40 nM for the β2-adrenergic receptor.[22] | ||
