Identification
Common Name1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone
ClassSmall Molecule
Description1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, or N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), is a chemical compound with 5-membered lactam structure. It is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid miscible with water. It is used in petrochemical processing, and as a solvent for surface treatment of textiles, resins and metal coated plastics or as a paint stripper. In the pharmaceutical industry, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is used in the formulation for drugs by both oral and transdermal delivery routes. NMP has been identified as a reproductive toxicant, first by California in 2001[3] and then by the European Commission in 2003. In the face of increasing regulation, some manufacturers are considering alternative solvents for some applications, especially where worker exposure is difficult to control, such as in paint stripping, graffiti removal, and agriculture.

Chemical Taxonomy
Description belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-alkylpyrrolidines. N-alkylpyrrolidines are compounds containing a pyrrolidine moiety that is substituted at the N1-position with an alkyl group. Pyrrolidine is a five-membered saturated aliphatic heterocycle with one nitrogen atom and four carbon atoms.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityNot Available
Metabolism1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone is rapidly biotransformed by hydroxylation to 5-hydroxy- N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone, which is further oxidized to N -methylsuccinimide; this intermediate is further hydroxylated to 2-hydroxy- N - methylsuccinimide. These metabolites are all colourless. The excreted amounts of NMP metabolites in the urine after inhalation or oral intake represented about 100% and 65% of the administered doses, respectively.
