Shikimic acid powder is found in the dried and ripe fruit of the Illicium verum Hook.f., a plant in the phyllanthus family. Anise is an evergreen tree that grows in a humid, warm semi-shade environment and can reach a height of 20 meters. It is mainly distributed in southern China. Bark gray to reddish-brown. Shikimic acid CAS 138-59-0 is a monomer compound extracted from star anise. Shikimic acid is a white crystalline powder easily soluble in water. It gets its name because it was first isolated from Japanese shikimi and is an important metabolic product of plants and microorganisms. For a long time, Shikimic acid Raw Materials are mainly extracted from the dried and ripe fruits of the aniseed family or Japanese shikimic (Japanese anise), and in recent years, there are also reports of extracting shikimic acid from the fruits of North American maple and pine needles.

• Shikimic acid powder has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and shikimic acid can also be used as an intermediate of antiviral and anticancer drugs.
• Shikimic acid CAS 138-59-0 is an antitumor drug, and is also a synthetic raw material for antitumor drugs such as dioxamycin and glyoxalase inhibitors
• Shikimic acid Raw Materials are key precursors for the synthesis of many alkaloids, aromatic amino acids, indole derivatives, and chiral drugs. More recently, shikimic acid has been used as A starting material for oseltamivir (the active ingredient of Tamiflu), a neuraminidase inhibitor that can be used to treat and prevent influenza A and influenza B.
• Used as a standard for quantitative determination of shikimic acid in the apex part of roots. It is also used as a substrate for shikimic kinase tests.
