| Bioactivity | Mandelic acid ((±)-Mandelic acid), an alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid, has been widely used as an intermediate of pharmaceutical and fine chemicals. Mandelic acid shows antimicrobial activity and has been used for the research of urinary tract infections and vaginal trichomoniasis. Mandelic acid exhibits high sperm-immobilizing activity and low vaginal irritation[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Mandelic acid ((±)-Mandelic acid) exhibits significant sperm-immobilizing effects and caused mild plasma membrane injury, suggesting that it has potential for development as a future non-surfactant spermicide[1].Mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxyacid derived from the hydrolysis of an extract of bitter almonds, has been studied extensively for its possible uses in health care products, such as photoaging, irregular pigmentation, and antimicrobial[2]. | ||||||||||||
