3,4-O-Isopropylidene-shikimic acid (3,4-O-Isopropylidene shikimic acid) has significant anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombosis, antioxidant, analgesic effects, it has protective effects on experimental colitis induced by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid in rats, probably due to antioxidant action.

Shikimic Acid (Shikimate) is a tri-hydroxy cyclohexene carboxylic acid important in the biosynthesis of so many compounds that the shikimate pathway is named after it.

4-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid is a natural product from Illicium verum.

5-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid shows anti-oxidative activity; it also shows anti-inflammatory activity, the underlying mechanism was associated with downregulation of nuclear factor-κB.
