Vanadium(v) complexes of mandelic acid

Summary of Mandelic Acid for the Improvement of Skin Conditions

Mandelic acid has been used in medicine for many years as a urinary antiseptic. Methenamine mandelate (Mandelamine®, Parke-Davis, Morris Plains, NJ) has the urinary antiseptic action of both methenamine and mandelic acid. In concentrations of 35g to 50g/100L of urine, it inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, bacillus proteus, escher ichia col i , and aerobacter aerogenes. Chemically, mandelic acid ha...

Enzymatic Method for Determination of Vanillyl Mandelic Acid.

An enzymatic method is described for the measurement of vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA). The method utilizes an L-mandelic acid dehydrogenase preparation from Pseudomonas fluorescens A-312 to catalyze the transformation of VMA to vanillin. The method is specific for VMA becauseonly the final product, vanillin, will absorb maximally at 350 m/L. The results compare favorably with the method of Pisan...

Mandelic Acid in the Treatment of Urinary Infections.

Synthesis and Antimycobacterial Activity of Novel Mandelic Acid Derived Diamide

Introduction Increasing drug resistance and poor activity of existing therapies towards the latent stage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection has produced a clear need to develop novel therapeutics to treat tuberculosis [1]. Thus fast-acting drugs with novel mechanisms of action that are not cross resistant to existing drugs are being sought actively. Wilkinson and coworkers first reported t...

The urinary excretion of mandelic acid administered intravenously to cats.

MANDELIc acid, when administered to animals, may be recovered almost quantitatively from the urine. Moreover, when mandelic acid appears in the body as the result of metabolic processes, it is supposed to be excreted without further change [Knoop, 1905; Dakin, 1922; Quick, 1928]. Neubauer [1909], Neubauer & Fischer [1910], Neubauer & Gross [1910] and Neubauer & Warburg [1910] claimed that after...
