from its full responsibility for the adequacy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and

comments of the Commission or the staff and the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a defense in any proceeding
initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

please orally confirm the event with our counsel, Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP by calling Philip
Magri at (646) 661-5203. We also respectfully request that a copy of the written order from the Commission verifying the effective

Dear Mr. Wyman, Mr. Kuhar, Mr. Gorsky and Mr.
Buchmiller:
On behalf of 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(the “Company”), we have set forth below responses to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contained in its letter of June 6, 2023 with respect to the Company’s Amendment
No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1/A4”) as noted above.
For your convenience, the text of the Staff’s
comments is set forth below in bold, followed in each case by the Company’s responses. Please note that all references to page numbers
in the responses are references to the page numbers in the Amendment No. 5 to the Form S-1 (the “Form S-1/A5”) submitted
concurrently with the submission of this letter in response to the Staff’s comments.
Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed June
1, 2023
Selling Stockholders, page A-16
1. We note your revisions in response to prior
comment 1. However, we continue to note that the number of shares offered by the selling stockholders, as indicated under the column "Shares
Offered by this Prospectus," does not appear to total the 2,224,763 shares of common stock indicated in the heading on the cover
page of the resale prospectus. In this regard, we note that the shares offered by the selling stockholders do not appear to include the
231,917 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants that are to be issued on the date of effectiveness of the registration
statement and that are indicated as being offered in your resale prospectus in clause (iv) of the first paragraph of the resale prospectus
cover page. Please revise or advise as appropriate.
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has updated the number of shares in the column “Shares Offered by this Prospectus” in the selling stockholders
table in the resale prospectus.

Please expand your disclosure to include information

the likelihood of service delivery in future periods. Also, disclose the identity of executives surrendering their Founder Shares and
the purpose of these share cancellations.
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s
comment. The Company has expanded the disclosure in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements 2. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies Research and Development Costs, page F-36 as follows (added text bolded):
“The Company accounts for research
and development costs in accordance with ASC subtopic 730-10, “Research and Development” (“ASC 730-10”). Under
ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development
costs are expensed as incurred. Prepaid research and development costs are deferred and amortized over the service period, as the services
are provided.
The Company recorded $123,994 in research
and development costs expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 ($63,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2022). During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company deferred prepaid research and development costs in exchange for share-based payments
of 525,000 common stock shares and 405,000 common stock shares to nonemployees, Kentucky Technology Inc. and Florida State University
Research Fund, Inc, respectively. The agreements with these nonemployees do not include any provisions to claw back the share-based
payments in the event of nonperformance by the nonemployees. Subject to applicable federal and state security laws, the nonemployees can
sell the received equity instruments. Kentucky Technology Inc. is expected to render research and development services to identify of
a combination drug partner for tafenoquine over a period of one year. Florida State University Research Fund, Inc. is expected to render
research and development services related to development of celgosivir over a period of up to five years. At March 31, 2023, the Company
recorded $3,030,000 current unamortized deferred prepaid research and development costs ($0 at March 31, 2022) and $1,532,342 non-current
unamortized deferred prepaid research and development costs ($0 at March 31, 2022).”
The Company has expanded the disclosure in the Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements 6. Capitalization And Equity Transactions, page F-41 as follows (added text in
bold):
“…During the three months
ended March 31, 2023, the Board of Directors, with the consent of Tyrone Miller and Geoffrey S. Dow, respectively, approved resolutions
to cancel 192,101 shares of common stock issued to Tyrone Miller and 1,258,899 shares of common stock issued to the Geoffrey S. Dow Revocable
Trust to allow the Company to issue new shares to vendors in exchange for valuable services to be provided for use in the Company’s
operations. The cancelled shares represented approximately 61% of the issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2022. During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued a total of 1,443,000 shares of common stock to certain vendors as prepayment
for services to be provided to the Company. As of March 31, 2023, 2,378,009 shares have been issued and were outstanding.”
3. In this regard, your response states that
the vendors have no obligation to deliver goods or render services in the future to retain the equity instruments. Your response also
notes that the Company will receive a future benefit as the vendors perform services or provide goods. Please explain your basis for
deferring $6.3 million of these compensation costs, when no future performance obligation exists for any of these vendors or clarify
the apparent discrepancy in your response. Refer us to the technical guidance upon which you relied.
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s
comment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 1,443,000 shares of common stock of the Company to vendors prior
to the commencement of services by or receiving goods from the vendors. The issued shares of common stock of the Company were determined
to be share-based payments under the guidance of ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation, as the share-based payments
were issued to nonemployees in exchange for services to be used in the Company’s operations. The agreements with the vendors do
not include any provisions to claw back the share-based payments in the event of nonperformance by the vendors. Accordingly, these share-based
payments were non-refundable advance payments to the vendors for services the company anticipates receiving. Subject to applicable federal
and state security laws, the vendors can sell the received equity instruments.
1,150,000 of the 1,443,000 shares were issued to four
vendors: Kentucky Technology, Inc. (Kentucky) (525,000 shares), Florida State University Research Foundation, Inc (FSURF) (405,000 shares),
Trevally, LLC (Trevally) (120,000 shares) and Carmel, Milazzo & Feil LLP (Carmel) (100,000 shares). These agreements have been provided
in this submission on a confidential basis only for the purposes of facilitating SEC review. A brief summary of the nature of the agreements
with each vendor, together with the Company’s expectation about future value to be provided, is outlined below:
FSURF: The Company has entered into
a services agreement (as amended) in which the Company issued shares as consideration for the performance of research and development
services related to advancement of the Company’s antiviral product, celgosivir. The first research project will be the provision
of consulting services by the University throughout the duration of the agreement. Thereafter, the agreement calls for the funding of
additional research and development services of mutual interest to FSURF and the Company using the proceeds of sale of the Company’s
shares by FSURF, triggered by the issuance of a purchase order by the Company. Until additional projects are added in such a manner, the
Company has elected to expense the pre-paid asset over a period of five years (the approximate estimated duration of provision of services)
on a pro-rata basis. The Company has high confidence that FSURF will execute the desired services, because its investigators have a professional
scientific interest in advancing celgosivir into human clinical trials, and the University has licensed intellectual property related
to celgosivir for COVID-19 and other viral diseases to the Company.
KENTUCKY: The Company has entered
into a relationship with Kentucky, in which the Company issued shares as consideration for the performance of research and development
services related to advancement of a potential combination drug for malaria, for which one of the components is tafenoquine, the active
ingredient in the Company’s FDA approved malaria drug Arakoda. As currently written, the deliverable is for the University to provide
the following: “Dr. Kiplin Guy’s lab at the University will provide a written assessment of the potential combination partners
for tafenoquine for commercial development for radical cure of malaria caused by any malaria species.” Dr. Kiplin Guy is a prominent
malaria researcher and has recently published data for an antimalarial drug, SJ733 (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35598441/), which
the Company believes would be a good combination partner drug for Tafenoquine. Dr. Kiplin Guy and the Company’s CEO have known each
other for twenty years. Based on the strength of that relationship, the Company has high confidence that the services agreement will be
performed as outlined in the Agreement. The Company is hopeful that the agreement may ultimately lead to a valuable licensing opportunity
for the Company. Initially, the Company has elected to expense the prepaid asset over 12 months since this is approximate timeline for
the first deliverable, but may extend that timeline if the scope of the agreement changes in the future.
TREVALLY: Trevally is a private company
that manufactures research chemicals including the botanical precursor of celgosivir, castanospermine. Per the agreement, Trevally will
provide the castanopsermine at kilogram scale, which is not possible to obtain commercially through any other source at such scale, and
certainly not with lead times the Company can control. Castanospermine is stable for many years and is a required starting material to
support the manufacture of GMP-grade celgosivir for clinical studies. Clinical studies with celgosivir could occur at any time in the
next five years, and securing a supply of critical starting material will ensure it will be control of the manufacturing timeline to support
such clinical studies. The Company expects delivery of the castanospermine in the next twelve months and so has recorded a short term
vendor deposit. Upon delivery of the castanospermine, the Company will relieve the prepaid asset and record an inventory asset.
CARMEL: In an agreement dated January
2, 2023, the Company issued shares in exchange for valuable legal services to be provided over the next year. Since the services weren’t
performed at the time the shares were granted, the Company booked the shares as a pre-paid expense to be expensed as the services are
provided. In two modifications in May 2023 and June 2023, the agreement was amended to clarify the services, by extending the period over
which the services will be provided. These amendments were not determined to be a material subsequent event to the March 31, 2023 financial
statements.
The Company considered the following guidance in ASC
718-10-35-1B to evaluate when to recognize the compensation cost associated with the share-based payments (emphasis added in bold):
If fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments
are granted at the date the grantor and nonemployee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required
by the nonemployee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the nonemployee
to earn the equity instruments, a grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are granted (in most cases, when the agreement
is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized
as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 718-10-45-3) depends on the specific facts and circumstances.
Based on the terms of the agreements described in
the previous paragraph, the Company concluded the grants were fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments the date the Company and
the vendors entered into the agreements for goods or services and no specific performance is required by the vendors to retain those equity
instruments. The Company determined the equity instruments should be recognized when the agreements were entered into.
For the 930,000 shares issued in exchange for research and development
services to FSURF and Kentucky, the Company next considered guidance in ASC 730 – Research and Development, to determine if the
cost qualifies for deferral as a prepaid R&D asset. Specifically, ASC 730-20 states the following:
ASC 730-20-25-13 Nonrefundable
advance payments for goods or services that have the characteristics that will be used or rendered for future research and development
activities pursuant to an executory contractual arrangement shall be deferred and capitalized. The guidance in this paragraph does not
apply to refundable advance payments for future research and development activities. An entity shall not apply the guidance in this paragraph
by analogy to other types of advance payments.
ASC 730-20-35-1 Nonrefundable
advance payments capitalized under paragraph 730-20-25-13 shall be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the
related services are performed. An entity shall continue to evaluate whether it expects the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered.
If an entity does not expect the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered, the advance payment capitalized under paragraph 730-20-25-13
shall be charged to expense. The guidance in this paragraph does not apply to refundable advance payments for future research and development
activities. An entity shall not apply the guidance in this paragraph by analogy to other types of advance payments.
At the reporting date the Company expects the R&D
services to be rendered by vendors and in accordance with the above guidance has deferred the share-based compensation cost as a prepaid
research and development asset. As discussed in Question 2 above, the Company will clarify in its disclosures the basis for deferral of
these costs as a prepaid asset and provide guidance on when it expects the related R&D services to be rendered and prepaid amounts
to be recognized as R&D expense.
For the 513,000 shares issued in exchange for other
goods and services, including the 120,000 shares and 100,000 shares issued to Trevally and Carmel, respectively, the Company next considered
guidance in ASC 340 – Other Assets and Deferred Costs, to determine if the cost qualif

The number of shares offered by the selling stockholders, as indicated under the column “Shares Offered by this Prospectus,”
does not appear to total the 2,224,765 shares of common stock indicated in the heading on the cover page of the resale prospectus. In
addition, the 2,224,765 shares of common stock indicated in the heading on the cover page of the resale prospectus does not appear to
reconcile to the individual components of the resale shares as disclosed in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first paragraph of the resale

The
issued shares of common stock of the Company were determined to be share-based payments under the guidance of ASC 718 – Compensation
– Stock Compensation, as the share-based payments were issued to nonemployees in exchange for services to be used in the Company’s
operations. The grant date was determined to have been met under ASC 718-10-25-5 when the agreements with the related vendors were signed.
The share-based payments were measured at their fair value as of the grant date. The Company concluded it is not feasible to measure
directly the fair value of the goods or services the Company receives (i.e., the amount for which those goods or services would be exchanged
in the marketplace) when issuing share-based payments.
The
Company recognized compensation cost when the shares were granted as the shares were fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments
granted at the date the parties entered into their respective agreement for goods or services. The vendors had no obligation to deliver
goods or render services in the future to retain those equity instruments. “Compensation cost” is intentionally used rather
than “compensation expense” because, as discussed below, the compensation cost from the share-based payment to the grantee
was capitalized.
ASC
718-10-25-2C requires that fair value of a nonemployee share-based payment be recognized as an asset or expense in the same manner as
if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. Under ASC 730, the payment made in shares is considered a non-refundable advance
payment for services that will be rendered for future research and development activities. The Company recorded the compensation costs
as prepaid R&D asset upon payment through the issuance of the shares because the Company will receive a future benefit as the vendors
perform the services or provide the goods. As described in the S1/A3, in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Research
and Development Costs footnote of the March 31, 2023 financial statements (p. F-36), prepaid research and development costs are deferred
and amortized over the service period, as the services are provided. At March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $3,030,000 current unamortized
deferred prepaid research and development costs and $1,532,342 non-current unamortized deferred prepaid research and development costs.
At
the time the shares were issued, the Company had determined that their fair value was $5 per share based on (i) the issuance of shares
in exchange for paid in capital in 2022 for $5 per share (see Item 15 of the S1/A3) and (ii) the draft pricing range of $4.15-$6.15 provided
by the underwriter in our original Form S-1 submission of January 31, 2023. This FMV was used in other valuations the Company performed
related to our interim financing.
The
Company canceled 1,451,000 Founder shares (Geoffrey Dow - 1,258,899 shares, Tyrone Miller - 192,101 shares). This was disclosed in the
subsequent event notes for 2022 financials (p. F-26) and in the Form S-1 at Item 14. These shares were indefeasibly and irreversibly
canceled. By doing this exclusively, Geoffrey Dow and Tyrone Miller avoided the dilution of one other shareholder (Douglas Loock) who
was a part of the public float, our secured lender (Knight) and bridge investors.
The
canceled shares are essentially a return of equity from a beneficial owner, and are reflected in capital, consistent with the Treasury
Stock guidance in ASC 505-30. The Company has reduced common stock at its par value and recorded the offset to additional paid-in capital.
The
Company canceled the shares to allow the Company to issue new shares to vendors in exchange for valuable services to be provided for
use in the Company’s operations. The issued shares increased the value of the public float as outlined on p. F-26 in the subsequent
event section of the 2021/2022 financial statements. Founder shares could not contribute to the public float as they are Rule 144 restricted.
Geoffrey
Dow and Tyrone Miller have no financial interest in any of the vendors to whom the Company issued shares.
We
have amended the footnotes of the table at A17 and the text at Item 15 to provide more detail on the nature of services provided by each
vendor.

Please provide an analysis supporting your accounting treatment for the Knight Debt Conversion Agreement, including how extinguishments
of the prior Knight Debenture ($4,276,609 at December 31, 2022) and Knight Promissory Note ($17,965,670 at December 31, 2022) related
to the fair value of the new Knight Promissory Note as of the modification date ($21,520,052 on January 9, 2023). Refer us to the technical
guidance upon which you relied and revise your disclosure accordingly.
The
Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment. The carrying value of the Knight Promissory Note as December 31, 2022 was
$16,319,986 as disclosed in the S1/A3, in the Debt footnote of the December 31, 2022, financial statements (p. F-17).
The
Company first determined whether the Knight Debt Conversion Agreement (“Agreement) was a troubled debt restructuring pursuant to
ASC 470-60. The Agreement is not a troubled debt restructuring pursuant to ASC 470-60 as the Agreement is not a concession. As described
in the S1/A3 in the Debt footnote of the March 31, 2023, financial statements (p. F-43), if a qualified IPO does not occur, the principal
amount and accrued interest continue to accrue interest at the pre-Knight Debt Conversion Agreement rates. If a qualified IPO does occur,
the features described in p. F-43 are applicable.
As
described in the S1/A3 in the Debt footnote of the March 31, 2023 financial statements (p. F-44), because the Agreement adds a substantive
conversion feature to convert the Knight principal amounts into shares of common shares and to convert the Knight accrued interest into
shares of preferred shares, the change is considered substantial and therefore extinguishment accounting under ASC 470-50 is applied.
Consistent with ASC 470-50-40-2, the net carrying value of the Knight Debenture and Knight Promissory Note (“Original Debt”)
is derecognized and the Agreement (“New Debt”) is initially recorded at the reacquisition price, with the difference recognized
as an extinguishment gain or loss. The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 for the New Debt. The reacquisition price
of the New Debt was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model assigning a 5% probability of a qualified IPO not occurring and 95%
probability of a qualified IPO occurring. The reacquisition price of the New Debt as of January 9, 2023, was $21,520,650, which was $839,887
greater than the carrying value of the Original Debt as of January 9, 2023. The $839,887 difference was recognized as a loss upon extinguishment
on January 9, 2023.
We
trust that the above is responsive to your comments.
Should
you have any questions relating to the foregoing or wish to discuss any aspect of the Company’s filing, please contact me at 646-838-1310.

Units. Please explain this apparent inconsistency.
The “Use of Proceeds” section of the
Form S-1/A3 contains the accurate amount of net proceeds of $6,336,726, which is equal to the product of the assumed public offering price
of $5.30 per unit and the sale of 1,415,095 units minus underwriting discounts and commissions of $712,500 and estimated expenses of $450,774.

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contained in its letter of February 8, 2023 with respect to the Company’s

For your convenience, the text of the Staff’s
comments is set forth below in bold, followed in each case by the Company’s responses. Please note that all references to page numbers
in the responses are references to the page numbers in the Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-1 (the “Form S-1/A”) submitted
concurrently with the submission of this letter in response to the Staff’s comments.
Form S-1, Submitted January 31, 2023
Summary of the Offering, page 15
1. Please indicate in this section the number of
Preferred Shares that will be issued to Knight upon the conversion of the Accrued Interest and the number of shares of common stock into
which those Preferred Shares will be convertible. Please also file the Knight Debt Conversion Agreement, as amended, as an exhibit.
Response: The accrued interest will convert into 80,965
shares of Series A Preferred Stock. These shares will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the Company’s
discretion, subject to the caveat that the total proportional ownership by Knight of common shares is not to exceed 19.9% of common shares
outstanding. The number of shares of common stock into which those shares will be convertible is determined by (i) multiplying the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted by $100, (ii) adding to the result all accrued and accumulated and unpaid dividends
on such shares to be converted, if any, and then (iii) dividing the result by a price equal to the lower of (A) $100, (B) the price paid
for the shares of common stock in this offering and (C) the 10-day volume weighted average share price immediately preceding our election
to convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided that the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock does not result
in the holder’s ownership of common stock exceeding 19.9%. The agreements relating to the conversion of the Knight debt are filed
as Exhibits 10.16 through 10.18 in the Form S-1/A.
2. We note your disclosure on page F-43 that, on
November 22, 2022, the company adopted a 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Please address the shares issuable under this plan in your footnotes
to this section and indicate whether any awards have been granted under this plan to date, and, if so, the exercise price thereof. In
an appropriate section, please also revise to discuss the material terms of the plan and file it as an exhibit to the registration statement.
Response: As of the date of the Form S-1/A, the Company
has not issued any options, warrants or stock grants under the ESOP. Note that upon the listing of the shares of common stock of the Company,
(i) Dr. Dow will be granted a five-year option to purchase a total of 15,000 shares of our common stock on the last day of each quarter
in each calendar year (for a cumulative total or no more than 300,000 shares over five years) and (ii) Mr. Miller will be granted a five-year
option to purchase a total of 12,000 shares of our common stock on the last day of each quarter in each calendar year (for a cumulative
total or no more than 240,000 shares over five years). The per share exercise price of the option shall be equal to the per share closing
price of our common stock on the date of grant and shall have a cashless exercise provision. The Company is also including the applicable
exhibit in the Form S-1/A.
Risk Factors, page 17
3. We note that a large number of shares will be
offered by the selling stockholders in the resale offering. Please include a risk factor that describes the risk to purchasers in your
underwritten offering that the large number of shares being offered in the resale transaction could depress the market price of your common
stock.
Response: The Company has included a risk factor describing
the risk to purchasers in the underwritten offering, noting that the large number of shares being offered in the resale transaction could
depress the market price of the Company’s common stock.
Intellectual Property, page 75
4. Please disclose the expiration dates for your
current patents and the expected expiration dates for your patent applications.
Response: The “Intellectual Property”
section contains a table that lists all patents including expiration dates. Further revisions have been made in the Form S-1/A to reference
the extension of option periods with the Florida State University Research Foundation for Celgosivir regarding COVID-19 and Zika (not
previously disclosed). Those options agreements and amendments are also disclosed in the Form S-1/A.
Selling Stockholders, page 102
5. We note your disclosure that the selling stockholders
"may be deemed to be 'underwriters' within the meaning of the Securities Act[.]" Please advise us if any of the selling stockholders
are broker/dealers and revise your disclosure here to note that any such selling stockholders will be deemed "underwriters."
Response: None of the selling stockholders are broker/dealers
or otherwise deemed such underwriters, and the Company has revised the disclosure to reflect the same in the Form S-1/A.
6. We note your disclosure in the chart located
in the Selling Stockholders section that the following selling stockholders will continue to own all of their shares after the resale
offering, despite the fact that footnote 1 indicates that it is assumed that all shares offered pursuant to the resale offering will be
sold: Douglas Loock, Carmel, Milazzo & Feil LLP, Florida State University Research Foundation, Inc., Latham BioPharm Group, LLC, Trevally,
LLC, Edward Newland, 4C Pharma Solutions, LLC, Hybrid Financial, Method Health Communications LLC, Kentucky Technology Inc., Ludlow Business
Services, Inc., and Elliot Berman. Furthermore, according to this chart, the following selling stockholders will be gaining shares after
the resale transaction: Geoffrey S. Dow Revocable Trust, Mountjoy Trust, Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd., Bigger Capital Fund,
LP, and Cavalry Investment Fund, LP. Please revise to address these apparent discrepancies, or advise.
Response: The Geoffrey S. Dow Revocable Trust will
be issued new shares when its convertible note is converted in the initial public offering of which are being registered. Those new shares
and the shares already beneficially owned by Geoffrey S. Dow as of the prospectus date will be locked up. Mountjoy Trust, Walleye, Cavalry
and Bigger do not beneficially own any shares as of prospectus date, but will be issued new shares in connection with conversions or debt
extinguishments, and those new shares are being registered. Therefore, the table should be correct, but required some clarifying notes,
which have been added in the Form S-1/A.
General
7. We note that the law firm representing you with
respect to both the initial public offering of your units and the resale transaction is a holder of 100,000 shares of your common stock
and that the law firm is identified as a selling stockholder and is participating in the resale transaction. Please revise your registration
statement to include, in its own separate section with an appropriate header, the information required by Item 10 of Form S-1.
Response: The Company has revised the Form S-1/A to
include, in its own separate section with an appropriate header, the information required by Item 10 of Form S-1.
We trust that the above is responsive to your comments.

Description of Securities, page 97
3.We note that the forum selection provision contained in paragraph 12 of your certificate of
incorporation identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive
forum for certain litigation, including any "derivative action." Please disclose whether
this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that
regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction
over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the
rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent
jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or
liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If the
provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also revise your prospectus to state that
there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision and that investors
cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations
thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or
Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the governing
documents states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors in future filings that
the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange
Act. In addition, clearly describe any risks or other impacts on investors from this
provision, including, if appropriate, that your exclusive forum provision may result in
increased costs for investors to bring a claim and that this provision could discourage
claims or limit investors’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find
favorable.

3.We note your disclosure that you entered into a "cooperative research and development
agreement with the United States Army in 2014" and that in 2021 "with financial support
from the US Army [you] conducted a Phase II clinical investigation of the safety and
efficacy of Arakoda[.]" Please revise your disclosure here and elsewhere to provide
further detail with regard to your research and development agreement with the U.S.
Army. Please disclose the material provisions of this agreement including, but not limited
to, the term of the agreement and whether there are any milestone or royalty payment
requirements.
4.We note your disclosure regarding the Phase II clinical investigation of the safety and
efficacy of Arakoda in outpatients with mild-moderate COVID-19 that was completed in
October 2021. If known, please indicate which variant of SARS-CoV-2 was represented
in this investigation and, if the results of this study may not be applicable to newer
variants, please include appropriate balancing disclosure.
5.We note your disclosure that "Arakoda has the potential to improve patient outcomes in
terms of recovery from yeast infections, and prevention of fungal pneumonias in
immunosuppressed patients[,]" that "Arakoda has the potential to reduce the duration of
treatment with antibiotic therapy in immunosuppressed patients and the time to parasite
clearance in non-immunosuppressed patients[,]" and that "[o]nce appropriate clinical
studies have been conducted, it is likely that Arakoda would be quickly embraced for
post-exposure prophylaxis of babesiosis in patients with tick bites and suspected of being
co-infected with Lyme disease." Given that Arakoda is currently approved by the FDA
only for the prevention of malaria in individuals 18 years or older, please revise these and
similar statements indicating or implying that your product is, or will be determined to
be, safe and effective for indications other than the prevention of malaria in individuals 18
years or older. Safety and efficacy determinations are solely within the authority of the
FDA or similar regulators and those decisions are rendered only after pivotal trials have
been completed. If these statements indicate your beliefs, please revise accordingly.

Defense [] and government agency procurement in the future[.]" Please revise your
disclosure here to note that, as indicated on page 57, upon the fulfillment of your existing

14.We note recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines

rapid and substantial price volatility and any known factors particular to your offering that
may add to this risk and discuss the risks to investors when investing in stock where the
price is changing rapidly. Clearly state that such volatility, including any stock-run up,
may be unrelated to your actual or expected operating performance and financial

19.We note your disclosure that you conducted a Phase II clinical investigation of the safety

Please provide further details about this study including, but not limited to, where it was
conducted, how many outpatients were involved, how participants were selected, whether
there were any adverse effects, and whether the results were statistically significant. We
note, for example, that Arakoda reduced clinical recovery time from shortness of breath,
cough, and fever (P<0.02), and improved aggregate symptom scores five days after
treatment (P<0.1). If any of the p-values from this study were not statistically significant,
please clarify that here and include balancing disclosure in your prospectus summary.
Please also clarify here and in your prospectus summary whether the trial was designed to
show if the observed results could be due to the administration of Arakoda on a stand-
alone basis, or prior COVID infection, prior vaccination, or both, or whether the results
could be due to chance.
Strategy, page 68
20.We note your disclosure that you plan to conduct additional non-clinical studies to clarify
the process by which tafenoquine interacts with COVID-19 and that such studies will
attempt to determine whether tafenoquine acts as an immunomodulator (by decreasing the
production of immune system molecules that cause inflammation) and/or exhibits an
antiviral effect via inhibition of the host protease TMPRSS2. If it is found that
tafenoquine acts as an immunomodulator, please indicate whether this could impact the
