Shikimic acid (SA) is a crucial intermediate in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. It is widely found in plants, microorganisms, and some fungi and serves as a precursor for numerous secondary metabolites. Shikimic acid holds significant importance in biochemical and biotechnological research and is commercially valuable as a key precursor for the antiviral drug Tamiflu. Therefore, precise quantitative and qualitative analysis of shikimic acid is essential in drug development, plant research, and studies of biosynthetic pathways.
