Chorismic acid barium salt has applications in various fields, including biochemistry and biotechnology. It serves as a precursor for a number of important biological compounds synthesized via the shikimate pathway, such as the aromatic amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine, indole, ubiquinones, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB), and para-aminobenzoate (pABA). The compound inhibits chorismate mutase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids that are essential for the growth and survival of many microorganisms, including pathogenic bacteria.
