Mandelic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound that is the simplest aromatic carboxylic acid. It is used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. Mandelic acid can be produced synthetically by the oxidation of benzaldehyde or benzoic acid. Mandelic acid has been shown to inhibit the metabolism of many drugs, including diazepam, phenobarbital and propranolol. It also shows anti-inflammatory effects due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
