• Molecular Formula: C7H11O8P.xLi
• Molecular Weight: 254.13 (free base)
• Purity: ≥95%

Shikimate-3-phosphate lithium is the salt form of Shikimate-3-phosphate. Shikimate-3-phosphate lithium is a central microbial, parasite and plant metabolite, as a product of the shikimate kinase-catalysed reaction. Shikimate-3-phosphate lithium serves as an enzyme substrate for 5-enolpyruvoyl-shikimate 3-phosphate synthase, which is a target of anti-infectives and of herbicides[1].
