Sunshine Biopharma Inc. Announces Novel Inhibitor for SARS Coronavirus Sunshine Biopharma Inc. announced that it has developed an orally active protease inhibitor with dose-dependent antiviral activity in mice infected with SARS Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). There are still unmet medical needs for agents to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections. SARS-CoV-1 is the etiologic agent of COVID-19 and one of three types of Coronavirus that cause Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). SARS-CoV- 2 undergoes mutation at a rapid rate, which leads to the continuous emergence of variants of concern (VOC) posing a significant threat to public health. In addition, certain populations, such as immunocompromised patients who are susceptible to severe and prolonged infections, may not respond well to current therapies or vaccines. For high-risk patients, blocking early infection at home may prevent rapid disease progression and reduce hospitalization. PLpro is an alternative therapeutic target for developing antiviral compounds against proteolytic processing activity of SARS-CoV- two. PLpro is a virus encoded protease essential for viral replication and is responsible for suppression of the human immune system following infection, leading to a more severe disease outcome. In August 2024, Sunshine Biopharma published initial research results on its PLpro inhibitors library in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (J. Med. Chem. 2024, Sunshine Biopharma's current lead compound was recently found to be active at sub-micromolar concentrations against PLpro and exhibited antiviral activity in SRAS-CoV-2 infected cells as well as in cells infected with several different VOC. In addition, the Company's lead compound had favorable pharmacokinetics properties inrod species and exhibited preferred drug accumulation in the lungs over plasma. The compound was found to beally active in a K18-human-ACE2 transgenic mouse model and to significantly reduce virus load in the lungs of infected animals in a dose-dependent manner without gross toxicities. This research is being carried out in collaboration with the University of Arizona. Duyuru • Dec 02
Sunshine Biopharma Announces Breakthrough Research Results on the Company’s K1.1 mRNA Product as a Novel Therapeutic Agent for Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Sunshine Biopharma Inc. announced that it has completed mouse model studies providing proof-of-concept for the Company's K1.1 mRNA product as a novel therapeutic agent for human hepatocellular carcinoma. Human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and the most common type of primary liver cancers in adults. In recent years, several systematic treatment options were available to HCC patients either as first-line or second-line treatment. Yet, the five-year survival rate of HCC patients remains at only 18-21%. When transfected into cultured human HCC cell lines and patient-derived HCC cells, K1.1 mRNA exhibited dose-dependent anti-proliferative activity in vitro. Following encapsulation in specifically engineered lipids, the resulting K1.1 mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticles (K1.1/LNP) were efficiently delivered to livers of mice in a dose-dependent manner in vivo. K1.1/LNP, under repeated systemic dosing, was found to reduce growth of two different types of human HCC tumors orthotopically grafted into the livers of immunodeficient mice. The pharmacodynamics of K1.1/LNP in intrahepatic tumors was well correlated with antitumor efficacy in mice. Duyuru • Oct 18

Sunshine Biopharma Announces Publication of Significant Coronavirus Research Results in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. announced the publication of new research results in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. The published data demonstrate a novel PLpro inhibitor with submicromolar potency and in vivo efficacy in a mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This peer-reviewed study marks an important milestone for Sunshine Biopharma in its effort to develop an effective treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection. There are still unmet medical needs to combat SARS-CoV-2 infection. SARS-CoV-2 undergoes mutation at a rapid rate, which leads to the continuous emergence of variants of concern (VOC) posing a significant threat to public health. In addition, certain populations, such as immunocompromised patients who are susceptible to severe and prolonged infections, may not respond well to current therapies or vaccines. For high-risk patients, blocking early infection at home may prevent disease rapid progression and reduce hospitalization. PLpro is a compelling therapeutic target for developing antiviral compounds against SARS-CoV-2. It is a virus encoded protease essential for viral replication and is responsible for suppression of the human immune system following infection by the virus. The active site of an enzyme is almost always the primary target for drug design. PLpro eluded scientist for many years due to its featureless active site. To address the challenge of PLpro's indistinct active site, designed and synthesized a noncovalent inhibitor library targeting a vulnerability in PLpro remote from the active site incorporating the "BL2-groove", a key feature discovered by project co-lead, Prof. Rui Xiong of the University of Arizona. One of the 50 compounds, XR8-23 (Compound 10), had an enzyme inhibition activity (IC50) of 0.39 µM and exhibited a broad spectrum of antiviral activity towards at least 4 strains of VOC including WA1/2020, Gamma (P.1), Delta (B.1.617.2), and Omicron (BA.1). It had over 10-fold of selective accumulation in the lungs than in plasma and exhibited in vivo activity in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 infection (MA10) at 10 mg/kg by repeated IV injections.

Nasdaq Staff Determines to Delist Sunshine Biopharma's Securities Pursuant to its Discretionary Authority Under Listing Rule 5101 On June 7, 2024, Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. (the ‘Company’) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’), that based on further review of the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and supporting materials submitted to Nasdaq, its staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101. Specifically, as set forth in the letter, Nasdaq’s staff determined that the ‘alternative cashless exercise’ provision of the Series A warrants the Company issued on February 15, 2024, raises public interest and investor protection concerns because the issuance of Series A warrants resulted in substantial dilution for the stockholders of the Company to date and may cause potential future dilution. Accordingly, as set forth in the letter, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market. As set forth in the letter, under the ‘alternative cashless exercise’ provision set forth in Section 2.3 of the Series A warrants the holder of the Series A warrant, has the right to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cash exercise of the Series A warrant and (y) 2. However, this multiplier was not proportionally adjusted to 0.02 in connection with the 1-for-100 reverse stock split the Company implemented on April 17, 2024, but instead it remained unchanged at 2. As set forth in the letter, a reverse stock split has the effect of increasing the stock price by proportionally consolidating the outstanding shares; however, the number of shares issuable to Series A warrant holders under the ‘alternative cashless exercise’ provision were not so consolidated. As such, shareholders of the Company were substantially diluted, while the holders of the Series A warrants were enriched one-hundred fold. Moreover, in the event the Company effects another reverse stock split, the shareholders of the Company will be diluted even further to the benefit of the Series A warrant holders. For these reasons, in order to protect investors and the public interest, Nasdaq Rule 5101 empowers Nasdaq to apply additional and more stringent criteria for the continued listing of securities, or to suspend or delist particular securities, based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs that makes initial or continued listing of the securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of Nasdaq, even though the securities meet all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq. The letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock. The letter serves as a formal notification that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the ‘Panel’) will consider this matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In that regard, the letter states that the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Panel in writing no later than June 14, 2024. Duyuru • May 17

Sunshine Biopharma Announces Update on Non-Compliance Notice from Nasdaq Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement As previously disclosed, on March 24, 2023, Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. (the ‘Company’) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the ‘Minimum Bid Price Requirement’). On September 21, 2023, the Company received another notification letter from Nasdaq advising that Nasdaq’s staff had determined that the Company was eligible for an extension of an additional 180 calendar day period, or until March 18, 2024, to cure the bid price deficiency. On February 28, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq advising that Nasdaq’s staff had determined that as of February 27, 2024, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days and accordingly, the Company was subject to the provisions contemplated under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the ‘Low Priced Stocks Rule’). Accordingly, Nasdaq determined to remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to the procedures set in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series which provide the Company with the opportunity to appeal this determination. If the Company failed to file such appeal by March 6, 2024, trading of the Company’s common stock would be suspended at the opening of business on March 8, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’), which would remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. On February 28, 2024, the Company submitted such appeal, and a hearing has been scheduled for April 25, 2024. Accordingly, the delisting action referenced in the Nasdaq staff’s determination letter has been stayed, pending a final written decision by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company has received shareholder approval for and intends to effect a 40-for-1 reverse stock split 20 days after the mailing of its definitive information statement (the preliminary form of which was filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024) to shareholders, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There is no assurance the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. New Risk • Feb 16
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 141% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (141% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$10m (US$3.46m market cap). New Risk • Feb 14
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 22% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change).

Sunshine Biopharma Mice Study for Covid-19 Treatment Progressing as Planned Sunshine Biopharma Inc. confirmed that its COVID-19 mice study currently underway at the University of Georgia is progressing as planned. The study is assessing the efficacy of two protease inhibitors in preventing transgenic mice challenged with SARS-CoV-2 from progressing to illness and death. Should these studies prove successful, the Company plans to file the data with the FDA and request authorization to do testing in actual COVID-19 patients. Sunshine Biopharma’s protease inhibitor treatment is anticipated to be orally available making it possible for the treatment to be in tablet form which can be taken at home. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has claimed the lives of over 3.7 million people worldwide since it first appeared in December 2019. There are currently no drugs that can effectively arrest replication of the virus in people who have contracted the illness. Sunshine Biopharma has completed the synthesis of four potential inhibitors of PLpro and subsequently identified a lead compound, SBFM-PL4. On February 1, 2021, Sunshine Biopharma entered into an exclusive license agreement with the University of Georgia for two Anti-Coronavirus compounds which the University of Georgia had previously developed and patented. The Company is currently advancing the development of these two compounds in parallel with its own SBFM-PL4 by conducting a transgenic mice study in collaboration with the University of Georgia, College of Pharmacy. The mice being used in the study have been genetically engineered to express the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) transmembrane protein in their lungs making them susceptible to lethal infection by SARS-CoV-2. The SARS-CoV-2 virus uses the hACE2 receptor to gain entry into human cells to replicate. The goal of the study is to determine if these protease inhibitors will protect the hACE2-transgenic mice from disease progression and death following infection with SARS-CoV-2. Should these mice studies prove successful, Sunshine Biopharma plans to submit the results to the FDA for authorization to conduct testing on actual COVID-19 patient volunteers in a Phase I clinical trial setting. In addition, to working on the development of a treatment for COVID-19, Sunshine Biopharma is engaged in the development Adva-27a, a unique anticancer compound. Tests conducted to date have demonstrated the effectiveness of Adva-27a at destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer Cells, including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, and Uterine Sarcoma cells. Clinical trials for Pancreatic Cancer indication are planned to be conducted at McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada.

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.’s Adva-27a Destroys Cancer Cells Expressing P-glycoprotein, a Marker Present in Over 50% of All Cancer Types Sunshine Biopharma Inc. announced that it has elucidated the mechanism of action of Adva-27a, the Company’s flagship anticancer drug candidate. Adva-27a has been found to have two activities: (i) evasion of P-glycoprotein, and (ii) inhibition of Topoisomerase II. P-glycoprotein is the most often encountered transmembrane efflux protein responsible for multidrug resistance in over 50% of all cancer types. By escaping the efflux pump of P-glycoprotein, Adva-27a is able to accumulate inside cancer cells and destroy them by inhibiting Topoisomerase II, a DNA unwinding enzyme preferentially used by cancer cells to multiply. Multidrug resistance is by far the biggest challenge in cancer therapy and P-glycoprotein is the major culprit. A plethora of anticancer drugs that are central to chemotherapeutic regimes are susceptible to the P-glycoprotein efflux activity. Among these are the vinca alkaloids (vinblastine and vincristine), the taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel), the anthracyclines (doxorubicin and daunorubicin), the topoisomerase inhibitors (topotecan and etoposide), and the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (dasatinib and gefitinib). Sunshine Biopharma’s P-glycoprotein evading small molecule, Adva-27a, represents an effective alternative to all of these drugs. In addition, it has been recognized that most cancers consist of a heterogeneous population of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cells.
