<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0">Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;)
sets forth the circumstances in which a Delaware corporation is permitted and/or required to indemnify its directors and officers. The
DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers in certain proceedings if the director or officer has complied with
the standard of conduct set out in the DGCL. The standard of conduct requires that the director or officer must have acted in good faith,
in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to matters
in a criminal proceeding, the director or officer must have had no reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. With respect
to suits by or in the right of the corporation, the DGCL permits indemnification of directors and officers if the person meets the standard
of conduct, except that it precludes indemnification of directors and officers who are adjudged liable to the corporation, unless the
Court of Chancery or the court in which the corporation&rsquo;s action or suit was brought determines that the director or officer is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the corporation
is successful on the merits or otherwise in his or her defense of a proceeding, the corporation is required to indemnify the director
or officer against reasonable expenses incurred in defending himself or herself. The rights provided in Section 145 of the DGCL are not
exclusive, and the corporation may also provide for indemnification under bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 20pt; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0">The Registrant&rsquo;s Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended
(the &ldquo;Certificate of Incorporation&rdquo;), and its Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the &ldquo;Bylaws&rdquo;), provide
for indemnification of any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person
is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving, or agreed to serve, at the request
of the Registrant, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such
capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person or on such person&rsquo;s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom,
in each case to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant shall not indemnify any person seeking indemnification in connection
with a proceeding or part thereof initiated by such person unless the initiation was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant.
The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws further provide for permissible indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum
extent permitted by the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to directors and officers.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0">Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may relieve its directors
from personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of their fiduciary duty as directors
except for (i)&nbsp;a breach of the duty of loyalty; (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (iii)&nbsp;willful or negligent violations of certain provisions in the DGCL imposing certain requirements
with respect to stock repurchases, redemptions and dividends; or (iv)&nbsp;for any transactions from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. The Registrant&rsquo;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that no directors of the Registrant shall be liable to
the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL.</P>

Ladies and Gentlemen:</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><br>
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the &ldquo;Registration Statement&rdquo;)
of BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the &ldquo;Commission&rdquo;) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), in connection
with the offering by the Company of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (&ldquo;Common
Stock&rdquo;), issuable pursuant to the Company&rsquo;s Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated July 23, 2021,
the &ldquo;Plan,&rdquo; and such shares, the &ldquo;Shares&rdquo;).</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><br>
In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified
or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of specimen Common Stock certificates
and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments
as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed without independent
investigation the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.
As to any facts material to this opinion, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation
upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others. We have also assumed without
independent investigation that there are no agreements or understandings between or among the Company and any participants in the
Plan that would expand, modify, or otherwise affect the terms of the Plan or the respective rights or obligations of the participants
thereunder.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><br>
Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions,
qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued against payment therefor in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.</p>

</font>This Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the &#8220;Plan&#8221;) is intended to promote the interests
of BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), by providing a method whereby certain equity
awards may be granted to prospective employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan is not subject to the approval of
the Company&#8217;s stockholders and may only be used for equity incentive grants that qualify as &#8220;inducement grants&#8221;
under Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) of the corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the &#8220;Nasdaq Inducement Exception&#8221;).</p>

</font>The Plan allows for the grant of awards with respect to a total of 5,900,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the &#8220;Common Stock&#8221;).</p>

</font>The Plan was approved and adopted by the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) effective on July

Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) or, in the absence of a Compensation Committee, a properly constituted committee in compliance
with the Nasdaq Inducement Exception (the administrator is referred to herein as the &#8220;Committee&#8221; or the &#8220;Plan
Administrator&#8221;). Any power of the Committee may also be exercised by the Board, except to the extent that the grant or exercise
of such authority would cause any award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit
recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To the extent that any permitted action taken
by the Board conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control. The Committee may delegate any or all
aspects of the day-to-day administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate,
and/or to one or more agents.</p>

reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances or RSUs under the Plan. However, shares subject
to an award under the Plan may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan if such shares are: (1) shares used to pay
the exercise price of an option, (2) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to an
award, or (3) shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise.</p>

under the Plan, (2) the number and/or class of securities and price per share in effect under each outstanding option under the

fair market value equal to the minimum amount necessary to satisfy the Federal, State and local income and employment tax withholdings
(the &#8220;Taxes&#8221;) incurred in connection with the acquisition or vesting of such shares. In lieu of such direct withholding,
