With abundant experience, we warmly welcome you to wholesale bulk shikimic acid powder for sale here from our factory. Quality products and reasonable price are available.

Shikimic acid powder is an organic compound that is a white crystalline powder, slightly soluble in ethanol and ether, and almost insoluble in chloroform and benzene. It is mainly found in the dried mature fruits of the Magnoliaceae plant star anise. Star anise is an evergreen tree that grows in a moist, warm, semi-shady environment, and can reach a height of 20 meters. It is mainly distributed in southern mainland China. The bark is gray to reddish brown. Shikimic acid has weak acidity and can react with a variety of active bases, alkaline oxides, metals, and salts (carbonates and bicarbonates) to form unstable salts; it also has the properties of polyols and alkenes, can undergo intramolecular dehydration reactions, and can also undergo addition reactions with bromine; under certain conditions, it can undergo esterification reactions with oxygen-containing acids or alcohols. By affecting arachidonic acid metabolism, it inhibits platelet aggregation, inhibits arterial and venous thrombosis and cerebral thrombosis, and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. With its unique antiviral, antibacterial and antithrombotic health benefits, it has become a star ingredient in the medical field. As the main raw material for the antiviral drug oseltamivir phosphate, shikimic acid plays an important role in the treatment of viral infections such as influenza and has become a guardian of human health.

The wastewater after extracting volatile oil from the branches and leaves of the star anise tree is used as raw material, and the shikimic acid is extracted by activated carbon decolorization, macroporous resin impurity removal, anion exchange resin enrichment and other methods; the production process is simple, the product cost is low, and it is easy to form large-scale production. The specific process flow is as follows: aqueous solution containing shikimic acid-adsorption and impurity removal with activated carbon-filtration-filtrate-impurity removal with macroporous decolorization resin-after impurity removal, feed liquid-anion exchange resin exchange-elution with acid water-collection of eluate-concentration-precipitation of crude shikimic acid-recrystallization with glacial acetic acid-fine shikimic acid.

1. Antiviral:

With its excellent antiviral ability, it has become the focus of attention in the medical field. It can effectively interfere with the replication process of the virus and inhibit the spread of the virus in the host, thereby alleviating the condition and shortening the course of the disease. It plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of viral infections such as influenza.

2. Antibacterial: The broad-spectrum bactericidal power of shikimic acid

In addition to antiviral, it also has a strong antibacterial effect. It can inhibit the growth and reproduction of many bacteria, and has a good inhibitory effect on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This makes it have a wide range of application prospects in the field of anti-infection and become a powerful weapon for the treatment of various bacterial infectious diseases.

3. Anti-thrombotic

Its effect on the cardiovascular system is particularly prominent, which is manifested in anti-thrombosis and inhibition of platelet aggregation. Studies have shown that it has a strong inhibitory effect on the platelet aggregation rate of rats with adenosine diphosphate-induced middle cerebral artery embolism model; intravenous and intramuscular injections of shikimic acid can prolong the blood coagulation time of mice. This discovery provides a new idea for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

4. Anti-cerebral ischemia

It has the effect of improving cerebral ischemia, which is mainly manifested in reducing the volume of cerebral infarction after focal cerebral ischemia in rats, reducing neurological function scores, reducing the degree of cerebral edema, and increasing cerebral blood flow in the ischemic area. Studies have shown that its derivatives can reduce the degree of red blood cell aggregation after cerebral ischemia and its inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, which is beneficial to cerebral microcirculation.

5. Anti-inflammatory effect
It can inhibit the occurrence and development of inflammation, and has obvious therapeutic effects on liver diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.

6. Antioxidant effect
It has a strong antioxidant effect, can remove free radicals in the body, and delay the aging process. At the same time, it can also repair tissue cells and repair cell damage.

7. Antihypertensive effect
It can effectively prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension.

1. Medicine:

Shikimic acid itself has anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, and can be used as a synthetic raw material for antiviral, especially influenza virus specific drugs oseltamivir and oseltamivir phosphate (trade name "Tamiflu").

2. Chemical industry

Shikimic acid has a certain chemical inertness and is an excellent organic solvent. It is widely used in chemical fields such as dyes, coatings, resins, etc., and has good application prospects.

3. Food industry

It is considered to be a safe, non-toxic, multi-effect antioxidant and is widely used in food additives. It can extend the shelf life of food and improve the nutritional value of food.

4. Animal feed

Prevent and treat avian influenza by adding it to feed to enhance poultry resistance, increase production capacity, and prevent and treat diseases.
