Shikimic Acid (C\u2087H\u2081\u2080O\u2085) is a naturally occurring cyclohexene carboxylic acid and key intermediate in the shikimate pathway \u2014 a seven-step metabolic route used by plants and microorganisms to synthesize aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan). It is most abundantly extracted from the fruit of Chinese star anise (Illicium verum), though production via microbial fermentation is also available.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moon Bright Resources supplies high-purity<\/a> shikimic acid with 98-99% purity, manufactured through controlled extraction and purification processes. Our product is the critical starting material for the synthesis of oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu\u00ae), an antiviral medication used to treat and prevent influenza A and B. Beyond pharmaceuticals, shikimic acid is gaining recognition in cosmetic formulations for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-brightening properties. We offer flexible packaging from laboratory quantities to commercial drums, with full documentation including Certificate of Analysis, residual solvent profile, and botanical origin traceability. shikimic acid API bulk price<\/span><\/p>\n
