Shikimic Acid, plant-derived API ingredient
Shikimic Acid （Illicium verum）
A naturally derived aromatic compound that is attracting attention as a raw material for influenza treatment drugs. An API raw material with a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.
Shikimic Acid is a natural organic compound involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan) and is known as an important intermediate in plant metabolic pathways. It has gained global attention as a synthetic raw material for the influenza treatment drug "Oseltamivir" (brand name: Tamiflu). The Shikimic Acid we offer is a high-purity product primarily extracted and refined from star anise (Illicium verum) and other plant sources, achieving a balance of stable supply and high quality as an API grade. It is easily soluble in water and is ideal for chemical synthesis and formulation applications. In addition to the pharmaceutical field, its applications are expanding into cosmetics and skincare products in recent years, with expectations for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
