NCIt definition : A fluorinated ether and very potent and stable general anaesthetic agent. The mechanism
through which enflurane exerts its effect is not clear, it probably acts on nerve
cell membranes to disrupt neuronal transmission in the brain, probably via an action
at the lipid matrix of the neuronal membrane. Enflurane may also enhance the activity
of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid on synaptic transmission.
Enflurane may also inhibit glutamatergic excitatory transmission.;
