(S)-Methocarbamol is the inactive componet of methaocarbamol (M225950), a known muscle relaxant. Studies have shown that (+)- R-methocarbamol (M225980) has higher muscle relaxant activity compared with racemic methocarbamol or (-)- S-methocarbamol.
ChEBI: (S)-methocarbamol is a 2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl carbamate that has S configuration. Both (R)- and (S)-methocarbamol have muscle relaxant properties, with the (R)-enantiomer being more active than the (S)-enantiomer. It has a role as a muscle relaxant. It is an enantiomer of a (R)-methocarbamol.
