Product Description
Shikimic acid is a key metabolic intermediate in the aromatic amino acid (AA) biosynthetic pathway found in microorganisms and plants.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
An essential metabolic intermediate with a wide range of uses is shikimic acid. An essential industrial component, shikimic acid serves as a precursor to numerous other chemicals, including oseltamivir phosphate[1].
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
SHIKIMIC ACID IS METABOLIZED INTO CYCLOHEXANECARBOXYLIC ACID BY THE INTESTINAL MICROFLORA, BUT THE AROMATIZATION OF CYCLOHEXANECARBOXYLIC ACID OCCURS IN MAMMALIAN TISSUES. IN RATS, THIS ACID IS METABOLIZED AND EXCRETED IN THE URINE MAINLY AS HIPPURIC ACID, TOGETHER WITH 3,4,5,6-TETRAHYDROHIPPURIC ACID & HEXAHYDROHIPPURIC ACID AND SMALL AMT OF BENZOYL & CYCLOHEXYLCARBONYL GLUCURONIDES.
RATS METABOLIZED (14)C-LABELED SHIKIMIC ACID TO HIPPURIC ACID & CATECHOL IN VIVO; RAT CECAL CONTENTS CONVERTED IT TO CYCLOHEXANECARBOXYLIC ACID IN VITRO, THIS CONVERSION BEING ALMOST TOTALLY INHIBITED BY ANTIBIOTICS.

Additional Infomation
Shikimic acid is a cyclohexenecarboxylic acid that is cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3, 4 and 5 (the 3R,4S,5R stereoisomer). It is an intermediate metabolite in plants and microorganisms. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is a cyclohexenecarboxylic acid, a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a shikimate.
Shikimic acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655).
Shikimic acid has been reported in Streptomyces nigra, Castanopsis fissa, and other organisms with data available.
Shikimic acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A tri-hydroxy cyclohexene carboxylic acid metabolite of the shikimate pathway. It is important in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, flavonoids and alkaloids in plants and microorganisms.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
H2O : ~130 mg/mL (~746.48 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 100 mg/mL (574.22 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 5.7422 mL 28.7109 mL 57.4218 mL
5 mM 1.1484 mL 5.7422 mL 11.4844 mL
10 mM 0.5742 mL 2.8711 mL 5.7422 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
