clear liquid

N-Ethyl-2-pyrrolidone is commonly used as a solvent. It has a low boiling point, which makes it suitable for use in low light and at constant pressure. It is also used as an intermediate in the preparation of polycarboxylic acid. It has been shown to be involved in both viscosity and hydrogen bonding.

ChEBI: 1-Ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone is a N-alkylpyrrolidine.

Nonflammable

CDK7 gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase family th at is important regulators of cell cycle progression. CDK7 forms a trimeric complex with cyclin H and MAT1which functions as a CDK-activating kinase (CAK). CDK7 is an essential component of the transcription factor TFIIH th at is involved in transcription initiation and DNA repair. CDK7 is thought to serve as a direct link between the regulation of transcription and the cell cycle.

Neurotoxins - Acute Solvent Syndrome
Occupational Hepatotoxin - Secondary Hepatotoxin: Cases of possible toxic effects in an occupational setting depending on human ingestion or experimental poisoning of animals.
Reproductive toxin - A chemical that is toxic to the reproductive system, including offspring defects and damage to male or female reproductive function. Reproductive toxicity includes developmental effects.

The initial threshold screening level (ITSL) for 1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (CAS # 2687-91-4) is 4.9 μg/m3 based on an annual averaging time.
