Dear Ms. Hayes:
Synthetic Biologics,
Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement
so that it may become effective by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on October 15, 2015 or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.
In making this request,
the Company acknowledges that: (i) should the Securities and Exchange Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
declare the filing effective, it will not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; (ii) the
action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve
the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and (iii) the Company may
not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any
person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
