Pharmacological effects: Shikimic acid is extracted from traditional Chinese medicine star anise, a monomer compounds has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, anti-cancer drug intermediates. Beijing university of Chinese medicine pharmacology laboratory shikimic acid has a obvious prophase study is the first time resisting thrombosis, inhibits, vein thrombosis and cerebral thrombosis. To elucidate the mechanism of anti thrombosis, the researchers studied shikimic acid effect on platelet aggregation and blood coagulation, and analyze its mechanism of action of arachidonic acid metabolism. Results think shikimic acid may be affected by arachidonic acid metabolism, inhibit platelet aggregation, inhibit blood coagulation system and play a role of anti thrombosis. Is the latest application: shikimic acid can effectively deal with the deadly H5N1 bird flu drug tamiflu important component, experts say this is the only weapon against bird flu in the world.
