<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">Synthetic Biologics, Inc.</FONT> (NYSE American: SYN), a clinical-stage
company developing therapeutics that preserve the microbiome to protect and restore the health of patients, today provided a clinical
programs update and reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;During the fourth quarter, we remained
sharply focused on executing our strategy to advance and demonstrate the significant value of our portfolio of GI and microbiome-focused
clinical assets,&rdquo; stated Steven A. Shallcross, Chief Executive and Financial Officer. &ldquo;We are pleased to report that
patient enrollment is continuing for our investigator-sponsored Phase 2b clinical trial of SYN-010, our modified-release formulation
of lovastatin lactone designed to treat an underlying cause of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. We believe data derived
from this study will solidify our existing clinical outcomes data, including dose-response, and potentially simplify future registration
studies. We anticipate a topline data readout from this study in the second half of 2019.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mr. Shallcross continued, &ldquo;During
the fourth quarter, we also announced the results of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA)
during which key elements of a Phase 3 clinical program were confirmed to support a marketing application for SYN-004 for the prevention
of <I>Clostridium difficile</I> infection (CDI). In parallel, we continue to evaluate strategies to pursue a secondary clinical
indication for SYN-004 in a specialized patient population which may allow for a more narrow and less costly clinical development
pathway. One such indication is the prevention of acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant
(HCT) recipients, where protection of the gut microbiome from antibiotic damage may provide a distinct benefit to patient outcomes.
Discussions with key opinion leaders who are experts in allogeneic HCT are ongoing, and we look forward to sharing updates and
progress for this potential indication.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;With the steps we have taken at
the end of the fourth quarter to fortify our long-term financial footing, we have created a strong foundation upon which to execute
our strategy to advance and showcase the value of our late stage clinical assets. Our entire organization is excited and committed
to achieving the important clinical development milestones we have established for 2019,&rdquo; concluded Mr. Shallcross.</P>

to $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, from $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease of
37% is primarily the result of lower SYN-004 (ribaxamase) and SYN-010 program costs for 2018 since no clinical trials were ongoing
during the year. 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 sought to secure the financial resources necessary for the completion
of these clinical trials. We anticipate research and development expense to increase due to the ongoing Phase 2b investigator-sponsored
clinical trial for SYN-010 and development activities associated with the potential initiation of a Phase 1/2 investigator-sponsored
clinical trial for the prevention of aGVHD in HCT recipients for SYN-004. Research and development expenses also include a charge

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (NYSE American:
SYN) is a clinical-stage company developing therapeutics that preserve the microbiome to protect and restore the health of patients.
The Company's lead candidates are: (1) SYN-004 (ribaxamase) which is designed to degrade certain commonly used intravenous (IV)
beta-lactam antibiotics within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to prevent microbiome damage, <I>C. difficile</I> infection (CDI),
overgrowth of pathogenic organisms, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD)
in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients, 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 SYN-020, 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. For more information,
