Operating Lease We lease approximately 8,400 square feet of office and laboratory space pursuant to an operating lease which expires on December 31, 2022. Rent expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 was $44,089 and $88,178, respectively, as compared to $42,803 and $85,607, respectively, for the same periods of 2021. Future minimum lease payments total $88,178 in 2022, although the lease may be terminated at any time by either party with ninety days written notice.

 

License Agreements We have entered into license agreements for various technologies and patent rights associated with our product development activities. These agreements may contain provisions for upfront payments, milestone fees due upon the achievement of selected development and regulatory events, minimum annual royalties or other fees, and royalties based on future net sales. Aggregate unrecorded future minimum payments under these agreements (excluding milestone and royalty payments due upon contingent future events) are approximately $124,200 in 2022, $127,500 in 2023, $127,500 in 2024, $27,500 in 2025 and $27,500 in 2026.

 

Other Commitments In the normal course of business, we enter into various firm purchase commitments and other contractual obligations related to production and testing of our product candidates, conduct of clinical trials and preclinical research studies, and other activities. As of June 30, 2022, there are approximately $1,082,000 of unrecorded noncancelable purchase commitments to our vendors and subcontractors, the majority of which we expect will be due in 2022.
