“3 For both the recombinant and native receptors, isoflurane potentiated the currents in a dose‐dependent manner at low concentrations of glycine , although at high glycine concentrations the anaesthetic had no significant effect on the glycine‐activated responses.”

“Conclusions:Xenon and isoflurane inhibit NMDA receptors by binding at the same site as the coagonist glycine.”
“The authors show that inhibition of NMDA receptors by xenon and isoflurane increases as glycine concentration is decreased, consistent with the prediction of competitive inhibition at the glycine site.”
“The authors show that xenon and isoflurane compete for the binding of the coagonist glycine on the NMDA receptor NR1 subunit.”
“The GLIC pore is predicted to be blocked at the micromolar concentrations for which inhibition by isofluorane and propofol is observed experimentally.”
