(-)-shikimic acid

-Shikimic acid is a hydroaromatic intermediate in the common pathway of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis.

-First isolated in 1885 by Eykman from the fruit of Illicium religiosum. Found to exist widely in leaves of fruit of many plants and also in microorganisms, but in limited quantities.

-Relative and absolute stereochemistry realized only in 1930s through the works of Fischer, Freudenberg and Karrer.

-It is mainly involved in the biosynthetic shikimate pathway operative in plants and microorganisms and discovered by Davis, Sprinson and Gibson. Three amino acids (L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine and L-tryptophan) are synthesized along the pathway.

-Available commercially (from Aldrich $58.00 per gram). Limited availability from plants has led to the discovery of other synthetic and biosynthetic means to obtain shikimic acid. Recently reported to be derived from microbial fermentation of glucose using recombinant E. coli. Used as starting material for the synthesis of drug molecules and natural products.

-There is great potential for the design and synthesis of enzyme inhibitors which may selectively block specific enzyme-catalysed transformations along this pathway.
