Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24232175 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3391472

N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NEP) is a colourless and highly polar liquid. It can be used as a highly effective selected solvent, catalyst and cationic surfactant in industry (e.g. coatings). NEP has been shown to display a spectrum of developmental toxic and teratogenic effects in rodents after oral administration. The oral LD50 of NEP in rats was reported to be 1.36 g/kg. The two postulated NEP metabolites 5-hydroxy-N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (5-HNEP) and 2-hydroxy-N ethylsuccinimide (2-HESI) have recently been detected in urine samples from the general population.

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Reseachers orally dosed 20.9 mg NEP to three male volunteers. These volunteers collected all their urine samples over a period of 4 days post dose. In these samples the authors identified and quantified the above postulated NEP metabolites 5-HNEP and 2-HESI and determined their urinary elimination kinetics and their metabolic conversion factors.
20.9 mg NEP equalling an intake between 220 and 252 μg/kg b.w.
