Product Description
D-(-)-Mandelic acid is a naturally occurring compound obtained from bitter almonds.
(R)-Mandelic acid (D-(-)-Mandelic acid, CAS# 611-71-2) is the (R)-enantiomer of mandelic acid, an aromatic alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) with a molecular formula of C₈H₈O₃ and a molecular weight of 152.15 g/mol. It is a chiral compound with significant biological activity and potential applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. (R)-Mandelic acid occurs as a white to off-white crystalline solid, is highly soluble in water (50 mg/mL) and DMSO (60 mg/mL), and exhibits mild acidity. It has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Due to its gentle exfoliating effects, (R)-mandelic acid is used in skincare formulations to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. It also has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(R)-Mandelic acid is a chiral alpha-hydroxy acid that interacts with various biological targets. It has been reported to have the health functions of killing sperm, reducing Yin (a traditional concept), inhibiting bacteria, and possessing anti-inflammatory activity. The compound exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities by reducing the liberation of auto-antigens, oxygen free radicals, and pro-inflammatory mediators, resulting in inhibition of protein denaturation. Its stereochemistry plays a critical role in its biological activity. As a human xenobiotic metabolite, it is a conjugate acid of (R)-mandelate.
ln Vitro
In vitro, (R)-mandelic acid demonstrates antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce inflammation in various cell-based models. The compound's antioxidant activity is attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. (R)-Mandelic acid reduces the liberation of auto-antigens and pro-inflammatory mediators, resulting in the inhibition of protein denaturation, which is favorable for dismissing pain associated with arthritis. The compound's gentle exfoliating effects are due to its ability to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover.
ln Vivo
In vivo, (R)-mandelic acid has been studied for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. It has the health function of inhibiting bacteria and reducing inflammation. The compound's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities contribute to its potential in dismissing pain related to arthritis. Due to its antimicrobial properties and gentle exfoliating effects, it is used in skincare formulations to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. For in vivo formulation, (R)-mandelic acid can be prepared in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline at 2 mg/mL.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for (R)-mandelic acid are not extensively documented, as the compound is primarily studied for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties rather than specific receptor binding. However, its antioxidant activity can be assessed using assays that measure the scavenging of free radicals, such as DPPH or ABTS assays. The compound's inhibition of protein denaturation can be evaluated using standard protein denaturation assays, where the compound's ability to prevent heat-induced denaturation of proteins such as bovine serum albumin is measured. These assays provide insights into the compound's anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for (R)-mandelic acid evaluate its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. For antimicrobial studies, bacterial cultures are treated with serial dilutions of the compound, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined. For anti-inflammatory studies, cells such as macrophages are treated with (R)-mandelic acid and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce inflammation. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) is measured by ELISA. The compound's effects on cell viability are assessed using MTT or LDH release assays. The compound's gentle exfoliating effects can be evaluated using skin cell models.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for (R)-mandelic acid have not been extensively reported, as the compound is primarily used in cosmetic and topical applications rather than systemic therapeutic studies. For potential in vivo studies, the compound can be formulated in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline at 2 mg/mL for administration. The compound's anti-inflammatory effects could be evaluated in animal models of inflammation, such as carrageenan-induced paw edema. Its antimicrobial effects could be assessed in models of bacterial infection. Comprehensive in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize the compound's pharmacological effects.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) data for (R)-mandelic acid are limited. The compound has a molecular weight of 152.15 g/mol and is highly soluble in water (50 mg/mL) and DMSO (60 mg/mL). As a small, hydrophilic molecule, it is expected to be rapidly absorbed and eliminated. The compound is a human xenobiotic metabolite, suggesting that it is processed by normal metabolic pathways. For topical applications, (R)-mandelic acid is absorbed through the skin and exerts local effects. Comprehensive ADME studies are needed to fully characterize its systemic pharmacokinetics.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of (R)-mandelic acid is generally considered favorable, as it is used in cosmetic and skincare products at safe concentrations. The compound has been shown to have low toxicity in cell culture. However, like other alpha-hydroxy acids, it can cause skin irritation at high concentrations or with prolonged use. It should be used with appropriate safety precautions in laboratory settings. For research use only, not for human or veterinary therapeutic use. Comprehensive toxicological studies are needed to fully characterize the safety profile of (R)-mandelic acid.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
