(R)-mandelic Acid
(R)-mandelic acid is the (R)-enantiomer of mandelic acid. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a (R)-mandelate. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-mandelic acid. (r)-Mandelic acid is a natural product found in Pisolithus tinctorius, Pisolithus arhizus, and other organisms with data available. (R)-mandelic Acid, also known as (R)-2-Hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid or (-)-(R)-Mandelate, is classified as a benzene or a Benzene derivative. Benzenes are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. (R)-mandelic Acid is considered to be soluble (in water) and acidic The (R)-enantiomer of mandelic acid. Acquisition and generation of the data is financially supported in part by CREST/JST. KEIO_ID M068 D-(-)-Mandelic acid is a natural compound isolated from bitter almonds. D-(-)-Mandelic acid is a natural compound isolated from bitter almonds.
Prunasin
(R)-prunasin is a prunasin. Prunasin is a natural product found in Polypodium californicum, Chaenorhinum minus, and other organisms with data available. Prunasin is found in almond. Prunasin is isolated from kernels of Prunus species, immature fruits of Passiflora species and leaves of perilla (Perilla frutescens var. acuta) Prunasin belongs to the family of O-glycosyl Compounds. These are glycosides in which a sugar group is bonded through one carbon to another group via a O-glycosidic bond. Isolated from kernels of Prunus subspecies, immature fruits of Passiflora subspecies and leaves of perilla (Perilla frutescens variety acuta). Prunasin is found in many foods, some of which are almond, sour cherry, black elderberry, and herbs and spices. Prunasin is found in almond. Prunasin is isolated from kernels of Prunus species, immature fruits of Passiflora species and leaves of perilla (Perilla frutescens var. acuta D004791 - Enzyme Inhibitors
Benzaldehyde
Benzaldehyde is occasionally found as a volatile component of urine. Benzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde used in cosmetics as a denaturant, a flavoring agent, and as a fragrance. Currently used in only seven cosmetic products, its highest reported concentration of use was 0.5\\\% in perfumes. Benzaldehyde is a generally regarded as safe (GRAS) food additive in the United States and is accepted as a flavoring substance in the European Union. Because Benzaldehyde rapidly metabolizes to Benzoic Acid in the skin, the available dermal irritation and sensitization data demonstrating no adverse reactions to Benzoic Acid were considered supportive of the safety of Benzaldehyde. Benzaldehyde is absorbed through skin and by the lungs, distributes to all well-perfused organs, but does not accumulate in any specific tissue type. After being metabolized to benzoic acid, conjugates are formed with glycine or glucuronic acid, and excreted in the urine. Several studies have suggested that Benzaldehyde can have carcinostatic or antitumor properties. Overall, at the concentrations used in cosmetics, Benzaldehyde was not considered a carcinogenic risk to humans. Although there are limited irritation and sensitization data available for Benzaldehyde, the available dermal irritation and sensitization data and ultraviolet (UV) absorption and phototoxicity data demonstrating no adverse reactions to Benzoic Acid support the safety of Benzaldehyde as currently used in cosmetic products. (PMID:16835129, Int J Toxicol. 2006;25 Suppl 1:11-27.). Benzaldehyde, a volatile organic compound, is naturally present in a variety of plants, particularly in certain fruits, nuts, and flowers. It plays a significant role in the aromatic profiles of these plants. For instance, benzaldehyde is a primary component of bitter almond oil, which was one of its earliest known natural sources. Besides bitter almonds, it is also found in fruits like cherries, peaches, and plums, as well as in flowers such as jasmine. In the food industry, benzaldehyde is occasionally used as a food additive to impart specific flavors. This prevalence in plants highlights that benzaldehyde is not only an industrial chemical but also a naturally occurring compound in the plant kingdom. Its presence in these natural sources underscores its significance in both nature and industry. Found in plants, especies in almond kernelsand is) also present in strawberry jam, leek, crispbread, cheese, black tea and several essential oils. Parent and derivs. (e.g. glyceryl acetal) are used as flavourings

D-(-)-Mandelic acid is a natural compound isolated from bitter almonds. 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].
benzaldehyde
An arenecarbaldehyde that consists of benzene bearing a single formyl substituent; the simplest aromatic aldehyde and parent of the class of benzaldehydes.
