Shikimic acid is a monomer compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine star anise. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Shikimic acid affects the metabolism of arachidonic acid and inhibits platelet aggregation.
Star anise (Illicium verum) is the eight-pointed star-shaped fruit of a Chinese evergreen tree. The seeds are similar to anise seeds both in appearance and in flavor, which is actually determined by the anethole compound present in both of them.
