- The anaesthetic, narcotic effect of magnesium has been discussed since the publication of Meltzer-Auger (1906), but its mechanism has not been clarified. Since then, other investigations have also been performed, but none of the publications has explained the issue. We propose a mechanism analogous to the studies made by Feinstein (1964), who examined organic compounds showing anaesthetic effects. Our view is that magnesium abridges two phospholipids of the opposite sides of the membrane through their phosphate groups. This binding results in membrane rigidity, which makes the ion permeability provided by the ion channel and/or carrier decrease or discontinue, thus the halting of the Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion flow eventually causes an anaesthetic effect. Another possible pathway is that magnesium ions block the activity of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor to control the ion channel, which also lowers the permeability of the membrane.
