for the Phase 3 clinical trial which we will discuss with the FDA at our end of Phase 2 meeting which is currently planned to take
place towards the end of the third quarter&rdquo; stated Steven A. Shallcross, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;We will continue to work closely
and collaboratively with the FDA to define a clear and achievable pathway toward gaining marketing approvals. In our ongoing interactions
with FDA, what has become clear is their recognition of the unmet need for novel interventions to combat and prevent the proliferation
of CDI. With more than 450,000 cases of CDI each year in the U.S., if approved, ribaxamase will be the first intervention specifically
designed to prevent CDI associated with the most commonly used IV antibiotics,&rdquo; concluded Shallcross.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">General and administrative expenses
decreased by 13% to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in
2017. This decrease is primarily the result of lower salary expense, stock compensation, and related benefits costs incurred
during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to the resignation of the
Chief Executive Officer, along with the reduction of travel and consulting expense, offset by higher registration, investor
relations and legal costs. The charge related to stock-based compensation expense was $264,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2018, compared to $539,000 for three months ended June 30, 2017.</P>

by 25% to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This
decrease is primarily the result of lower SYN-004 (ribaxamase) and SYN-010 program costs for 2018 since no clinical trials were
ongoing during the quarter. The research and development costs incurred during the quarter were primarily related to planning for
future Phase 3 (SYN-004) and Phase 2b/3 (SYN-010) clinical programs as we seek to secure the financial resources necessary for
the completion of these clinical trials. The charge related to stock-based compensation expense was $293,000 for the three months

The decrease in the fair value of the warrants was due to the decrease in our stock price from the prior quarter.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (NYSE American:
SYN) is a late-stage clinical company developing therapeutics that preserve the microbiome to protect and restore the health of
patients. The Company&rsquo;s lead candidates poised for Phase 3 development are: (1) SYN-004 (ribaxamase) which is designed to protect
the gut microbiome from the effects of certain commonly used intravenous (IV) beta-lactam antibiotics for the prevention of <I>C.
difficile</I> infection (CDI), overgrowth of pathogenic organisms and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and (2)
SYN-010 which is intended to reduce the impact of methane producing organisms in the gut microbiome to treat an underlying cause
of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). The Company&rsquo;s preclinical pursuits include an oral formulation of
the enzyme intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) to treat both local GI and systemic diseases as well as monoclonal antibody therapies
for the prevention and treatment of pertussis, and novel discovery stage biotherapeutics for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU).

market or sell its products, Synthetic Biologics&rsquo; inability to maintain its material licensing agreements, or a failure
by Synthetic Biologics or its strategic partners to successfully commercialize products, Synthetic Biologics&rsquo; ability
