Ketamine blockade of voltage-gated sodium channels: Evidence for a shared receptor site with local anesthetics

The general anesthetic ketamine is known to be an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor blocker. Although ketamine also blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in a local anesthetic-like fashion, little information exists on the molecular pharmacology of this interaction. We measured the effects of ketamine on...
