Description Of Shikmic Acid:shikimic Acid, More Commonly Known As Its Anionic Form Shikimate, Is A Cyclohexene, A Cyclitol And A Cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid. It Is An Important Biochemical Metabolite In Plants And Microorganisms. Its Name Comes From The Japanese Flower Japanese Star Anise, Illicium Anisatum), From Which It Was First Isolated In 1885 By Johan Fredrik Eykman. The Elucidation Of Its Structure Was Made Nearly 50 Years Later
It Appears In The List Of Group 3 Carcinogens Of The International Agency For Research On Cancer. Group 3 Means That The Agent Is Not Classifiable As To Its Carcinogenicity To Humans. Nevertheless, It Is Recommended To Roast Tree Fern Fronds, A Specialty Called Fiddlehead (furled Fronds Of A Young Tree Fern In The Order Cyatheales, Harvested For Use As A Vegetable). These Fronds Are Edible, But Must Be Roasted First To Remove Shikimic Acid.
Shikimic Acid Is Also The Glycoside Part Of Some Hydrolysable Tannins. The Acid Is Highly Soluble In Water And Insoluble In Nonpolar Solvents, And This Reflects On Why Shikimic Acid Is Active Only Against Gram-positive Bacteria, Due To Outer Membrane Impermeability Of Gram-negatives
