Aminoshikimic acid Aminoshikimic acid is an intriguing alternative to shikimic acid as a starting material for the synthesis of neuraminidase inhibitors such as the antiinfluenza agent oseltamivir. Aminoshikimic acid is also a versatile chiral starting material for the synthesis of new pharmaceuticals. As with shikimic acid, aminoshikimic acid is an attractive candidate for use as the core scaffold for synthesis of combinatorial libraries. Aminoshikimic acid Aminoshikimic acid is a synthetic crystalline carboxylic acid. It is characterized by multiple stereogenic centers and functional groups arrayed around a six-membered carbocyclic ring. Aminoshikimic acid is also an alternative to shikimic acid as a starting material
