RE:

Dear
Ms. Parikh and Mr. Vaughn:
I
am writing on behalf of Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”), in response to the letter from the Staff
of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”), of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
dated June 14, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

the Comment Letter. For the convenience of the Staff, the comment in the Comment Letter is reprinted in bold and is followed by the Company’s
response.
Unless
otherwise noted, the page numbers in the bold headings and the responses below refer to pages in the 2020 10-K. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the 2020 10-K.

Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will undertake to provide the following disclosure in its future
periodic reports filed with the Commission.
Research
and Development Expenses.
Research
and development expenses for the [period] ended [date] were $xx million, an increase/decrease of $xx million, or xx%, from $xx million
for the [period] ended [date]. R&D expenses increased/decreased mainly due to [acquisition/licensure of [●] for $xx million;
higher/lower clinical development expenses of approximately $xx million, higher/lower nonclinical expenses of approximately $xx million;
higher/lower manufacturing expenses of $xx million and higher/lower employee compensation of approximately $xx million. We expect R&D

disclose the costs incurred during each period presented for each of your key research and

please disclose that fact and explain why you do not maintain and evaluate research and development
costs by project. Provide other quantitative or qualitative disclosure that provides more
transparency as to the type of research and development expenses incurred (i.e. by nature
or type of expense) which should reconcile to total research and development expense on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will undertake to provide the following disclosure in its future
periodic reports filed with the Commission.
Research
and Development. We outsource our research and development efforts and expense the related costs as incurred, including the cost
of manufacturing products for testing, licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed
to patents and other intellectual property acquired was expensed as research and development costs, as it related to particular research
and development projects and had no alternative future uses.
The
table below summarizes our direct research and development expenses for our product candidates and development platform for the years
ended December 31, [●] and [●].

Our
direct research and development expenses consist principally of external costs for clinical, nonclinical and manufacturing, such as fees
paid to contractors, consultants and CROs in connection with our development work. Included in “Internal Staffing, Overhead and
Other” is overhead, supplies, research and development employee costs (including stock option expenses), travel, regulatory and
legal. We operate in a cross-functional manner across projects and do not separately allocate facilities related costs, compensation
expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and other expenses for research and development activities.
We
estimate our accrued expenses. Our clinical trial accrual process is designed to account for expenses resulting from our obligations
under contracts with vendors, consultants and clinical research organizations and clinical site agreements in connection with conducting
clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result
in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to us under such contracts. We account for
trial expenses according to the progress of the trial as measured by participant progression and the timing of various aspects of the
trial. We determine accrual estimates that take into account discussions with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to
the progress or state of completion of trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, we adjust our clinical
expense recognition if actual results differ from our estimates. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date
based on the facts and circumstances known to us at that time. Our clinical trial accruals and prepaid assets are dependent upon the
timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors.
Should
the Staff have additional questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please contact me at 973-597-2564.

RE:
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed August 23, 2019
File No. 333-233445
Dear Ms. Aldave:
I
am writing on behalf of Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”), in response to the letter from
the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”), of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
dated September 4, 2019 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (the “Registration Statement”). Set forth below is the Company’s response to the comment raised in
the Comment Letter. For the convenience of the Staff, the comment in the Comment Letter is reprinted in bold and is followed by
the Company’s response.
Concurrently
with this letter, the Company is filing Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”) which
reflects revisions made to the Registration Statement in response to the comments of the Staff. Unless otherwise noted, the page
numbers in the bold headings and the responses below refer to pages in the Registration Statement. Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the Registration Statement.

Registration
Statement on Form S-1
Description
of Securities, page 22
1. We note
that your forum selection provision identifies the Eighth Judicial District Court of
Clark County, Nevada as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any “derivative
action.” Please describe this provision and 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 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.
Response:
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company’s forum selection provision provides that the Eighth Judicial
District Court of Clark County, Nevada has exclusive jurisdiction over only certain matters to the “fullest extent permitted
by law”. Accordingly, this provision is not intended to apply to claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
for which federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for which
federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on
page 24 of Amendment No. to clarify the intent of the Company’s forum selection provision. The Company has also added a
risk factor on page 10 of the Registration Statement describing the Company’s forum selection provision and its intent.
The Company will also include similar disclosure in its risk factors in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and in future registration
statements, as applicable.
Should
the Staff have additional questions or comments regarding the foregoing or Amendment No. 1, please contact me at 973-597-2564.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following response addresses the comment
of the reviewing staff of the Commission as set forth in a comment letter dated August 8, 2014 (the “Comment Letter”)
relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on August 1, 2014 (the "Registration Statement") by Tonix Pharmaceuticals
Holding Corp. (the “Company”).
1. Please provide an analysis of your eligibility to use Form S-3 for this offering in your correspondence.
If you are relying upon General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, please also revise the outside front cover of the prospectus to
disclose the calculation of the aggregate market value of your outstanding voting and non-voting common equity pursuant to General
Instruction I.B.6. and the amount of all securities offered pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. during the prior 12 calendar
month period that ends on, and includes, the date of the prospectus.
Response:
The Company is eligible to use
a Form S-3 registration statement for the proposed offering. The Company meets all of the registration requirements pursuant to
General Instruction I.A. of Form S-3. The Company is also primary eligible, as it also meets the transaction requirement pursuant
to General Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3, whereby the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by
non-affiliates of the Company is $75 million or more.
On June 30, 2014, the Company
had 9,933,106 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that day
was $14.35. On June 30, 2014, officers and directors owned 806,599 shares of common stock. As a result, the Company believes that
the total number of shares of common stock held by non-affiliates on June 30, 2014 was 9,126,507, and the market value of such
shares was approximately $131 million.
On June 30, 2014, the Company
was aware of only one stockholder, Technology Partners Fund VIII, LP (“Technology Partners”), other than an officer
and/or director, which was a beneficial holder in excess of 5% of the Company’s stock. Technology Partners beneficially owned
less than 10% of the Company’s common stock, and the Company believes that it is not an affiliate as defined in Rule 405
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, for purposes of this discussion only, even if Technology Partners was deemed
an affiliate, it held 547,972 shares as of June 30, 2014, and combined with the officers and directors, that was a total of 1,354,571
shares held by such “deemed affiliates.” As a result, the total number of shares of common stock held by non-affiliates
on June 30, 2014 would have been 8,578,535, and the market value of such shares was approximately $123 million.
Securities and Exchange Commission
August 11, 2014
Page 2 of 2
As a result, the Company is primary
eligible in accordance with General Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3, and no amendment need be made to the Registration Statement
to provide any disclosures pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3.
We trust that the foregoing
appropriately addresses the issue raised by your recent Comment Letter. Thank you in advance for your prompt review and assistance.

No. 333-192551
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following responses
address the oral comment of the reviewing staff of the Commission pursuant to a telephone conversation by and between Erin Wilson
of the Commission and James M. Turner of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-3
filed on November 26, 2013 (the "Registration Statement") by Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”).
1. Please revise the disclosure on the front cover page of the prospectus in accordance with Instruction
7 to Form S-3 in order to provide the calculation of the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock
and the amount of all securities offered during the prior 12 calendar months.
Response:
The Company will revise the disclosure
on the front cover page of the prospectus in accordance with Instruction 7 to Form S-3 in order to provide the calculation of the
aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock and the amount of all securities offered during the prior
12 calendar months.
2. In reviewing footnote 5 to the Calculation of Fee Registration Fee, we do not believe that the
Company is entitled to an offset of the fee from the prior registration statement indicated. Please provide evidence that the Company
is not required to deposit additional funds in its SEC account to cover such shortfall after the offset is removed.
Response:
After a review of the Company’s
account with the SEC and the fees incurred in connection with registration statements filed during 2013, the Company believes that
the offset is correct and that the Company should have a credit of $533.54. Exhibit A sets forth a chronology of transactions
since January 1, 2013 to support this conclusion.
After reviewing the transaction
history from the Company’s transfer agent, we have determined that the problems started in June 2013 when it appears that
the S-1/A filing made on June 20, 2013 doesn’t reflect that there should have been another $500.86 cash filing fee incurred.
There was a total fee of $3,839.93, of which $3,339.07 was previously paid. Then moving forward, there were fees incurred
of $2,203.13 in August 2013, which I believe the SEC calculated as the $500.86 which wasn’t incurred on June 20, 2013 plus
the $1,702.27 that was originally due, however, that $1,702.27 was paid on May 10, 2013. So, Tonix got charged $1,702.27
twice by the SEC.
We trust that the foregoing
appropriately addresses the issues raised by your recent Letter of Comment. Thank you in advance for your prompt review and assistance.
Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following responses
address the comments of the reviewing staff of the Commission as set forth in a comment letter dated February 19, 2013 (the "Comment
Letter") relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on January 25, 2013 (the "Registration Statement")
by Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”). The numbers of the responses in this letter correspond to the
numbers of the staff’s comments as set forth in the Comment Letter.
1. We note that you are filing a combined prospectus pursuant to Rule 429 of Regulation C. We further
note that your prospectus does not appear to include all of the information that currently would be required in a prospectus relating
to the offerings that it covers. For instance, your cover page and selling shareholder table do not appear to reflect your previous
offering (333-180964). Please revise accordingly.
Response:
We have revised our registration
statement, including our cover page and selling stockholder table to reflect the combined prospectus with the previous offering.
Attached hereto as Exhibit A are the marked changes we propose to make to reflect compliance with Rule 429 of Regulation
C. For ease of review, each marked section is included in its entirety and the page references for each section heading refer to
the page numbers in the Registration Statement. Please note, however, that as a result of the amount and extent of redlining makes
of the selling stockholder table and footnotes thereto from the integration of two sets of selling stockholders into one table,
we can only provide a clean copy of the combined selling stockholder table and footnotes.

statement to file as exhibits the interactive data files required by Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K. Attached hereto as Exhibit
B are the marked changes to the exhibit index list to show the inclusion of the interactive \data files.
3. We note that you have not included all required undertakings in your filing. In this regard, we
note that you have not provided the undertaking set forth in Item 512(a)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Please revise to include all

Includes shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be offered pursuant to this registration statement, which shares are issuable upon exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders. In addition to the shares set forth in the table, the amount to be registered includes an indeterminate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, as such number may be adjusted as a result of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions in accordance with Rule 416. The number of shares of common stock registered hereunder represents a good faith estimate by us of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. For purposes of estimating the number of shares of common stock to be included in this registration statement, we calculated a good faith estimate of the number of shares of our common stock that we believe will be issuable upon exercise of the warrants to account for market fluctuations, and antidilution and price protection adjustments, respectively. Should the conversion ratio result in our having insufficient shares, we will not rely upon Rule 416, but will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of such additional shares should that become necessary. In addition, should a decrease in the exercise price as a result of an issuance or sale of shares below the then current market price, result in our having insufficient shares, we will not rely upon Rule 416, but will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of such additional shares should that become necessary.

Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act of 1933, using the average of the high and low price as reported on the OTCQB on January 24, 2013, which was $0.50 per share.

Pursuant
to Rule 429 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, the enclosed prospectus constitutes a combined prospectus also relating
to an aggregate of up to 14,543,807 shares of our common stock that were previously registered for sale in a Registration Statement
on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-180964. As such, this prospectus also constitutes post-effective amendment No. 1
to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-180964, which shall hereafter become effective concurrently with
the effectiveness of this Registration Statement on Form S-1 in accordance with Section 8(c) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The registrant hereby amends this registration
statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment
which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of

Re: Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed April 26, 2012
File No. 333-180964
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following responses
address the comments of the reviewing staff of the Commission as set forth in a comment letter dated May 15, 2012 (the "Comment
Letter") relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on April 26, 2012 (the "Registration Statement")
by Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”). The numbers of the responses in this letter correspond to the
numbers of the staff’s comments as set forth in the Comment Letter.
Plan of Distribution, page 71
1. We note your disclosure in the third paragraph of page 72 that certain selling stockholders are
deemed underwriters. Please revise this disclosure and under Plan of Distribution on page seven to identify David J. Moss and all
the selling shareholders that are affiliates of the company as underwriters or provide your analysis as to why you believe they
are not underwriters.
Response:
The Company does not believe
that David J. Moss and the other selling shareholders that are affiliates of the Company are underwriters. Section 2(a)(11) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, defines an underwriter as “any person who has purchased from an issuer with a view
to, or offers or sells for an issuer in connection with, the distribution of any security, or participates or has a direct or indirect
participation in any such undertaking, or participates or has a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such
undertaking.” There are several elements required for a person to be deemed an underwriter, and the failure of any element
would mean that such person is not an underwriter.
Securities and Exchange Commission
May 17, 2012
Page 2
of 3
There are 11 selling stockholders
that are officers, directors, beneficially own more than 5% of the common stock of the Company or are affiliates thereof. Those
stockholders are Targent Pharmaceuticals, LLC, Lederman & Co., LLC, L & L Technologies, Inc., Lysander LLC, Ernest Mario,
Donald W. Landry, Eli Lederman, John Rhodes, Charles E. Mather IV, David Moss and Leland & Lauren Gershell (the “Selling
Stockholders”). The shares being registered by these Selling Stockholders only represent the shares of common stock, and
shares underlying warrants, which were acquired in the recent private placements. As such, they acquired the shares being registered
in an at-risk securities transaction just like the other selling stockholders, and not with a view to distribute or sell the securities
on behalf of the Company. No shares are being registered the Selling Stockholders that they received in the going public transaction
on October 7, 2011 or were owned or acquired prior to October 7, 2011. Therefore, these Selling Stockholders do not meet the definition
of an underwriter.
In addition, the shares being
registered by these Selling Stockholders would not constitute a primary offering on behalf of the issuer, for purposes of Rule
415. The total number of shares being registered by these Selling Stockholders is 1,566,700, which represents less than:
· 5% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding;
· 6% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding on October
7, 2011, upon completion of the reverse merger and related financing;
· 10% of the total shares beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders;
· 11% of the total number of shares of common stock being registered on the registration statement;
· 12% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding owned by
non-affiliates; and
· 33% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding owned by
non-affiliates on October 7, 2011, upon completion of the reverse merger and related financing.
As a result, such a small number
of shares could not be construed as a primary offering on behalf of the Company, even under the most stringent of interpretations
by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As well, of the 1,566,700 shares
being registered for the Selling Stockholders, 765,000, or 49%, are shares underlying warrants. The warrants contain a 4.99% blocker,
which means that such warrants cannot be exercised if the Selling Stockholders would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s
common stock after issuance. A majority of these warrants are owned by the Selling Stockholders that currently beneficially own
more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock, so they are contractually restricted from exercising such warrants unless
and until they beneficially own less than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. Such limitation further dilutes any argument
that the shares being registered for the Selling Stockholders is a primary offering on behalf of the Company, as a significant
number of such shares cannot be issued. In addition, the restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 for affiliates provides further restrictions
on any attempt to create a market on behalf of the Company.
Securities and Exchange Commission
May 17, 2012
Page 3 of

Finally, we note that the Plan
of Distribution section contains the following language, to the extent that any of the selling stockholders might be construed
as an underwriter: “To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders
and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares
of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of
shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents,
any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions
or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.”
For all of these reasons, the
Company disagrees that such selling stockholders should be identified as underwriters.
We trust that the foregoing
appropriately addresses the issues raised by your recent Letter of Comment. Thank you in advance for your prompt review and assistance.
Very truly yours,

Response dated February 3, 2012 File No. 333-150149
Dear Mr. Lederman:
We have reviewed your response to our commen ts and have the following comments. In
some of our comments, we may ask you to provi de us with information so we may better
understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter within ten business days by amending your filing, by
providing the requested information, or by advi sing us when you will provide the requested
response. If you do not believe our comments apply to your fact s and circumstances or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing an amendment to your fili ng and the information you provide in response
to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Business Overview, page 4
1. We note your response to prior comment 1 of our letter dated January 10, 2012. We also
note references on pages 15, 16, 29 and elsewh ere to the “general ly lengthy” and
“substantial time” associated with the FDA approval process, the FDA’s “established
performance goals for review of NDAs” and the statement that “[p]roduct sales in the
United States may commence only when an NDA is approved.” With a view to
clarifying disclosure, advise us in approximate quantified terms of the minimum amount
of time—for example, in quarters or y ears—you believe is required to bring your
principal products to market. It is unclea r if you plan, for example, to apply for and
receive FDA approval within 1 year, 2 years or a certain amount of time that is shorter or
longer than 1 or 2 years. We understand, as indicated in your response, that other
factors, including “financial” and “research results,” likely affect the time it takes to
Seth Lederman Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. February 15, 2012 Page 2
reach commercialization. Please include with your estimate any material assumptions
underlying such factors as you deem necessary.
2. Please refer to prior comment 2. Given the apparently existing use by your competitors
of cyclobenzaprine as a treatment for fibr omyalgia syndrome, please clarify what new
uses you currently target. Also in this regar d, please refer to the 8- K disclosure that you
“pursue development and regulatory approval pathways by reformulating versions of
approved drugs for new uses and by using the Section 505(b)(2) pathway for FDA
approval.” It is unclear if th e reference in your response lette r to the “specific therapeutic
use targeted for the active ingredient that relates to cyclobenzapri ne” would be a “new
use.” If not, please revise the cited 8-K disclosure accordingly.
Intellectual Property, page 14
3. We note your response to comment 4 from our letter dated January 10, 2012. It is
unclear why you disclose that th e intellectual property was “gra nted.” Please revise or
advise.
Risk Factors, page 20
4. We note your response to prior comment 5 rega rding the assumption that there will be a
significant market-wide increase in the use of muscle relaxants for the treatment of FM.
Although your business plan may not be “who lly-dependent upon the assumption,” it is
unclear why you believe the substantially increas ed use is not a material assumption that
should be addressed in Risk Factors or Business. Please revise or advise.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure
in the filing to be certain that the filing include s the information the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and all applicable Exchange Act rules requir e. Since the company and its management are
in possession of all facts relating to a company’s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy

Current
Report on Form 8-K/A
Filed
December 27, 2011
File
No. 333-150149
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following responses
address the comments of the reviewing staff of the Commission as set forth in a comment letter dated January 10, 2012 (the "Comment
Letter") relating to the Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on December 27, 2011 (the "Form 8-K") by Tonix
Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”). The answers set forth herein refer to each of the staff’s' comments
by number.
The numbers of the
responses in this letter correspond to the numbers of the staff’s comments as set forth in the Comment Letter.
Business Overview, page 4
1. It appears that you have not provided the overview as to the anticipated timeline
and costs for each of your products to reach commercialization as you state in response to prior comment 5. Please provide such
an overview as requested in our prior comment. Ensure your revisions also address your other principal products.
Response:
We have considered the staff’s
request to further supplement the information provided regarding the anticipated timeline and costs for each of our products to
reach commercialization. We believe that a more robust response at this early stage in response to the staff’s request seeking
“anticipated timeline and costs” for “each of your products to reach commercialization” ignores the inherent
unpredictability factors associate with drug development and commercialization. Our prior response is believed to be complete and
as accurate an estimate that can be provided at the present time without providing potentially false and misleading information
in the filing. As such, management of the Company does not believe it is appropriate to speculate in light of the many uncertainties
(financial, regulatory, research results, competing products) implicit in its business and affairs relating to drug development
and commercialization. In light of the staff’s comment, the Company undertakes to periodically re-evaluate in future filings
the progress of the Company’s program to develop and commercialize drug candidates and provide additional details relating
to costs, and timing, if and when such factors can reasonably be predicted. Accordingly, the Company believes the additional information
sought by the staff in addition to the information previously included in response to the staff’s comments regarding TNX-102,
the Company’s lead drug candidate, either does not exist or is not sufficiently developed or known to be able to be responsibly
included in a further amendment.
1
2. You continue to state in the first bullet point on page 5 and elsewhere that you believe
the therapeutic uses you target are new uses, notwithstanding your response to prior comment 8. Please revise.
Response:
Our “strategy” is correctly
stated as an overall objective, on page 5. The statement in the first bullet point (and elsewhere) does not conflict with the response
to prior comment No. 8 involving our patents and the potential for off-label use to treat FM, which is a specific
therapeutic use targeted for the active ingredient that relates to cyclobenzaprine. Accordingly, we do not believe the statement
that we desire to pursue new uses of approved drugs, as a general strategy, is inaccurate or misleading and to remove such language
would not be consistent with the goal to convey to investors an accurate snapshot of the overall objectives of management. Accordingly,
we believe that further changes would be potentially false and misleading in response to the staff’s comments.
Drug
Delivery Technology, page 11
3. We note your response to prior comment 12. We
may have further comment upon resolution of your request for confidential treatment.
Response:
The
staff’s response is noted.
Intellectual
Property, page 14
4. It remains unclear from your response to prior
comment 14 whether there any patents or patent applications relating to TNX-201 were transferred to you by Lederman & Co.
Please clarify. Also, please revise the statement that “[w]e have been granted numerous patent applications…”
to clarify (1) the extent to which you received patents or patent applications as opposed to acquiring them from affiliates or
other third parties and (2) the difference between a patent and a patent application.
Response:
We
concur with the staff’s view that some readers could confuse applications for patents that are pending with issued patents
but believe that the common usage of the word “application” and its use in the filing is not material or misleading
as it appears in the present filing, particularly in the extensive table that notes issuance jurisdictions and expiration dates
and, in the leftmost column of this table, denotes a patent or application for each row shown. We undertake in future filings that
the Company will more clearly specify that the technology has been subject to numerous patent applications filed in the United
States and abroad, and separately identify the patents that have been issued in the introductory language preceding such table.
No
patents or patent applications relating to TNX-201 were transferred to the Company from Lederman & Co. All patent applications
and issued patents have been acquired from affiliates, as disclosed elsewhere in the Company’s Form 8-K/A, or other third
parties, except for the patent applications: PCT/US10/02979 “Methods And Compositions For Treating Symptoms Associated With
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Using Cyclobenzaprine” and PCT/US 11/01529 “Method for Treating Cocaine Addiction”,
which were filed by the Company. Accordingly, no additional disclosure is warranted.

Risk
Factors, page 20
5. Refer to prior comment 16. It remains unclear
how you determined that there is no material risk that the projected sales from 2015 to 2018 will not materialize. Please address
the risk that these sales will not materialize in your risk factor disclosure or tell us why you believe that such disclosure
is not appropriate.
Response:
In
response to the staff’s suggestion, we have considered revisions to address any material risk related to the assumption that
there will be a significant market-wide increase in the use of all muscle relaxants for the treatment of FM, and reviewed
slide 23 of Exhibit 99.02, a third party research report. The Company does not believe it is wholly-dependent upon the assumption
published in a third party research report forecast of significant market-wide increases and that the commercialization risks associated
with the Company’s drugs are adequately set forth, without stating that the third party projected sales in a report filed
as an exhibit, could be inaccurate.

Response:

7. Please address the final clause of prior comment 24, regarding Rule 436.
Response:
We acknowledge the staff’s

Filed October 14, 2011
File No. 333-150149
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following responses address the comments of the reviewing Staff of the Commission as set forth in a comment letter dated November 10, 2011 (the "Comment Letter") relating to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 14, 2011 (the "Form 8-K") by Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the Company”). The answers set forth herein refer to each of the Staff’s' comments by number.
We are filing herewith Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Form 8-K.
Description of our Business, page 4
1.
Your business description should address the general development of your business for the past three years. For example, your corporate overview should clearly explain your relationship to each of the persons and entities referenced in that description. Also, expand your disclosure in this section to describe clearly the activities you have undertaken to develop your products since inception, including, for example, the research and development activities described on pages 37 and 38, and why, for example, you do not appear to have undertaken further studies on TNX-102 since the Phase 2a study in 2001.

Response
We have revised our business description to address the general development of our business for the past three years, including explaining our relationship to each person/entity referenced and further describing activities undertaken to develop our products since inception.
2.
Please revise to clarify if and how the development studies, research and other necessary activities you describe are being conducted by your employees, L&L Technologies, Lederman & Co, Pharmanet Canada or others. Please describe any arrangements to share responsibilities or designate certain tasks as the responsibility of one or a number of the participating groups of persons.
Response
We have revised our disclosure to clarify what activities are being conducted by employees, consultants or others. We have also clarified which persons/entities are responsible for what tasks.
3.
We note the statement on your subsidiary’s website that “[d]ue to the competitive nature of this business, Krele is not disclosing the assets it is developing or is considering adding to its portfolio.” With a view to clarifying disclosure, advise us of any such assets.
Response
Because of capital and personnel constraints we do not currently have active business activities within Krele. Earlier this year, we were evaluating generic products based on:
‐
Calcitriol;
‐
Ibuprofen (400mg, 600mg, 800mg);
‐
Naproxin (250mg, 375mg, 500mg);
‐
Nystatin powder; and
‐
Disulfiram.
As both funds and time permit, Krele will continue to review additional generic product opportunities. Because Gerald Price resigned from Krele and because Krele’s activities have been slowed down, we have moved the Krele disclosure to a later point in the business description.
4.
Please clarify when you intend to undertake the proposed studies you outline in this section, and disclose in approximate quantitative terms the material costs, if any, associated with each of those studies.
Response
We have revised our disclosure to discuss the intended timeline for the proposed studies mentioned, along with anticipated costs of such studies.

5.
Please revise to provide an overview, in quantitative and qualitative terms, summarizing the approximate amount of time to reach commercialization for each of your principal product candidates taking into account material factors such as research and regulatory approval. Also, given the state of development of your products, revise your disclosure that appears to suggest you already create marketable products, such as your disclosure that “We create new dose formulations” on page 4.
Response
We have revised our disclosure to provide an overview as to the anticipated timeline and costs for each of our principal product candidates to reach commercialization. With regards to the disclosure that “We create new dose formulations,” this is accurate because we do create new dose formulations as part of our research and development, with such dosage formulations adjusted to achieve our targeted results. We have revised our disclosure to state that we do not market any of these new formulations.
6.
Please clarify the purpose of the licenses disclosed at the bottom of the second paragraph in this section.
Response
We have revised our disclosure to state that such licenses are required in order to manufacture, distribute and market prescription medications.
7.
Please tell us why your business description does not appear to address the rights relating to isometheptene mucate that you acquired from Lederman & Co. LLC pursuant to Exhibit 10.7.
Response
We have revised our disclosure to include the rights relating to isometheptene mucate that we acquired from Lederman & Co. LLC.
8.
Please revise to reconcile the statement on page six that “the therapeutic uses we target are new uses for these active ingredients” with the disclosure that cyclobenzaprine is widely used off-label to treat FM.
Response
We have revised the disclosure to indicate that when our patents were initially filed, the therapeutic uses we target were novel and unexpected, and that since our patents were filed, the use of cyclobenzaprine off-label to treat FM has apparently become widely used.

9.
We note the statement on page seven that “TNX-102, our most advanced product candidate, is a bedtime pill.” Your disclosure suggests that you currently have a manufactured pill. Please revise to clarify. Also, it is unclear what you mean by “advanced” and in what way TNX-102 is closer to commercialization than TNX-105.
Response
We have revised our disclosure to indicate that the TNX-102 pill has been manufactured in small quantities for use in human clinical trials. As disclosed in the Form 8-K, we have conducted a clinical trial with bedtime very low dose cyclobenzaprine on fibromyalgia patients, whereas no clinical trials have been conducted with regards to TNX-105. As such, TNX-102 is closer to commercialization than TNX-105.
Emerging Market Opportunity, page 10
10.
Please revise to further clarify the nature of the studies and findings you identify in the two bullet points on page 10. For example, it is unclear what material elements made up the study conducted by Caliper Life Sciences and when it was undertaken. It is also unclear what your basis is for the “findings” in the first bullet point. Please disclose what activities were undertaken, the nature of any analyses conducted on those results, and the background of the individuals who conducted the activities and analyses.
Response
We have revised the disclosure to indicate the material elements of the study conducted by Caliper Life Sciences on the interactions of active pharmaceutical ingredients with receptors and when they were conducted. We also have revised the disclosure to indicate the basis for the findings, the activities undertaken, and analyses and the background of the individual involved. With regards to our “findings” in the first bullet point, we have changed findings to clinical studies. As disclosed throughout the business section, a low dose cyclobenzaprine has had therapeutic effects on FM symptoms. TNX-102 is a new formulation of low dose cyclobenzaprine.
11.
Similarly, we note the statement that “[o]ther compounds that bind this receptor have been shown to have effects in treating PTSD.” It is unclear why you do not describe what effects the compound had and what studies or institutions were the source of the observations that “have been shown.” Please revise accordingly.
Response
We have revised our disclosure to provide greater clarity about the rationale for studying the effects of cyclobenzaprine in PTSD. Specifically, our study from Caliper Life Sciences determined that cyclobenzaprine interacted with a receptor on brain cells called the serotonin type 2a receptor. Furthermore, it is a scientific fact that other compounds that bind this receptor have been shown to have effects in treating PTSD. Both of these statements, that (i) other compounds bind to the serotonin type 2a receptor and (ii) those other compounds have been shown to have effects in treating PTSD, are supported by numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications. We believe it would be unnecessary and confusing to the reader to provide cites to these publications, but for the Commission’s review, the following are approximately two dozen supporting articles:

In addition, we have disclosed the duration of our material patents. Currently, we have no licensed patents. Pursuant to our agreement with Lipocine, which is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K, we have the option to purchase exclusive licenses to certain patents held by Lipocine. As a result, we have revised our disclosure accordingly.
