Features

Shikimic acid is a key precursor for the synthesis of many alkaloids, arylamines, indole derivatives and chiral APIs. Shikimic acid is used as the starting material for oseltamivir (the active ingredient in Tamiflu), a neuraminidase inhibitor that can be used to improve and prevent influenza A and influenza B.
