Shikimic acid is a cyclohexenecarboxylic acid originally isolated from I. religiosum.{46308} It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants and microorganisms. Shikimic acid is also a precursor in the synthesis of oseltamivir (Item No. 16070).{46309} It decreases lipid droplet accumulation in HepG2 cells and 3T3-L1 adipocytes when used at a concentration of 80 µM, as well as increases the levels of phosphorylated AMPK and decreases the levels of MID1IP1 in HepG2 and 3T3-L1 adipocytes when used at 40 µM.{46310} Shikimic acid increases differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in vitro.{46311} It decreases inflammation and demyelination in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) when administered at doses of 50-200 mg/kg and reduces symptom progression at a dose of 100 mg/kg.{46311} It also induces remyelination in a model of focal demyelination induced by L-?-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in mouse dorsal spinal cord.
