the research, development and commercialization of oncology and
antiviral drugs, today announced that it has received the first
tranche of $250,000 as part of a committed minimum financing of $2
Million with RB Capital Partners Inc. (“RB Capital”).
Pursuant to the financing agreement entered into as of September 8,

the form of convertible promissory notes (the "Promissory Notes").
The Promissory Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum

Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the market value of the
Company’s Common Stock on the applicable conversion date or
$0.30 per share, whichever is greater. The Promissory Notes will

terms is $2,000,000, payable over the next three to six month
period.
The

anticancer compound targeted for pancreatic cancer.
Sunshine
Biopharma’s CFO, Camille Sebaaly stated, “We are
extremely pleased to have forged a relationship with RB Capital and
believe that this is the beginning of a successful funding
partnership. We are now well positioned to continue with the
development of our life saving treatments with a funding partner
alongside of us who sees the long-term vision of the
Company.”
About Sunshine Biopharma’s Coronavirus Treatment
Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the
causative agent of COVID-19, the current ongoing pandemic that has
claimed the lives of over 920,000 people worldwide since it first
appeared in December 2019. There are currently no drugs that can
effectively arrest replication of the virus in people who have
contracted the illness. On May 22, 2020, Sunshine Biopharma filed a
provisional patent application for several molecules which were
designed by computer-aided modeling to inhibit the Coronavirus
proteases, thus shutting down the ability of the virus to multiply.
More recently, Sunshine Biopharma announced that it has completed
the synthesis of four such molecules and is currently testing their
inhibitory activity on SARS-Cov-2 proteases in order to identify a
lead compound for further development as a specific drug for
treatment of COVID-19.
About Sunshine Biopharma’s Adva-27a Anticancer
Compound
In
addition, to working on the development of a treatment for
COVID-19, Sunshine Biopharma is engaged in the development
Adva-27a, a unique anticancer compound. Tests conducted to date
have demonstrated the effectiveness of Adva-27a at destroying
Multidrug Resistant Cancer Cells, including Pancreatic Cancer
cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, and
Uterine Sarcoma cells. Clinical trials for Pancreatic Cancer
indication are planned to be conducted at McGill University’s
Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada. Sunshine Biopharma is
owner of all patents and intellectual property pertaining to
Adva-27a.
