Methyl pyrrolidone (or N-methyl pyrrolidone or NMP) is a small molecule acetyl‐lysine mimetic compound with potent immunomodulatory and direct anti‐myeloma activity. NMP is nontoxic, stable and already in use as a solvent in biomedical applications. This compound is under investigation in clinical trial phase I for the treatment of multiple myeloma. The study will evaluate if the NMP can be safely administered to humans at doses, which induce measurable immunological and anti-tumor effects in patients with myeloma. In addition, NMP could be useful for bone fracture repairing. NMP has shown a protective role in osteoblast differentiation in response to hypoxia, and such protection was through inhibiting the NF-κB signaling. Experiments on rodents have revealed that the compound had a remarkable anti-osteoporotic ability preserving activity in the pulp-dentine complex and preventing jawbone loss. These effects made NMP a promising candidate for the preservation of the activity of the pulp-dentin complex and jawbone thickness in post-menopausal females.
