About Shikimic Acid
Shikimic acid is a white crystalline compound of nonnitrogenous acid found in various plants naturally. It has two kind functional groups in the same molecule, three hydroxyl groups and a carboxylic acid group, which are optically active. They can yield various kinds of esters and salts. Shikimic acid is a cyclitol, a polyhydroxylated cycloalkane containing at least three hydroxy groups in the ring at different positions. Examples are inositol and quinic acid. The most important feature of cyclitol is that there are chiral isomers, key intermediates in the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds in living metabolism. Shikimic acid is a key intermediate in the biochemical pathway from phosphoenolpyruvic acid to tyrosine.
The primary function of shikimic acid is to serve as a key starting material for the synthesis of anti-influenza drugs (such as oseltamivir/Tamiflu); it is not a medication used directly to treat disease. It works by inhibiting the spread of the virus within the body and also possesses potential anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic properties.
