The shikimate pathway links metabolism of carbohydrates to biosynthesis of aromatic compounds, which is an attractive target for the rational drug and herbicide design because it is essential in algae, higher plants, bacteria, and fungi, but absent from mammals. Thus, the present invention provides a method of inhibiting the growth of bacteria or fungi, especially
Helicobacter pylori,
through inhibiting enzymes in the shikimate pathway.
