• Description: 5-Hydroxy-N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (5HMP) is a metabolite that is produced in the body after ingestion of pyrrolidinones. It can be detected in urine and blood samples to assess the exposure to these compounds. 5HMP is also used as an analytical method for detecting the presence of pyrrolidinones in biological samples, such as urine and blood. The reaction products are measured using a spectrometer at 270 nm. The monoclonal antibody can be used to detect 5HMP in human liver cells. In animal experiments, 5HMP was found to have no significant effect on the uptake of glucose by the liver or other organs.
