Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective October 8, 2015, we executed a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Advanomics Corporation, Montreal, Canada (“Advanomics”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 (the “Patent”) for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.  The Purchase Agreement provides us with direct ownership of the Patent, which includes all rights to this intellectual property within the United States.  Prior, we had been licensing the right to use the Patent from Advanomics pursuant to the terms of a License Agreement, as amended (the “License Agreement”).

We believe the financial terms of the Purchase Agreement are more favorable to us than under the License Agreement.  Our obligations under the License Agreement required us to pay Advanomics a perpetual annual license fee of $360,000 and reimburse Advanomics for all research and development expenses incurred by Advanomics in connection with Adva-27a, the Licensed Material (as defined in the License Agreement).  The Purchase Agreement terminates the License Agreement and all obligations thereunder and provides for purchase of the Patent for twelve (12) consecutive annual payments of $360,000 starting in 2016.  Advanomics will retain a security interest in the Patent until all payments due under the Purchase Agreement have been made.  Dr. Steve Slilaty, our CEO and principal shareholder, is also the principal officer and shareholder of Advanomics.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached to this report as an exhibit.

For Immediate Release

SUNSHINE BIOPHARMA ACQUIRES THE US PATENT FOR ITS ANTICANCER COMPOUND, Adva-27a

Montreal, Quebec, Canada -- (MARKETWIRED) -- Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCQB: “SBFM”), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer, announced today that it has acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 for the Company’s Adva-27a anticancer compound.  The Patent Purchase Agreement executed October 8, 2015 provides Sunshine with ownership of the patent, which includes all rights to this intellectual property within the United States.  Prior, Sunshine had been licensing the right to use this patent from Advanomics Corporation, a privately held Canadian company that currently owns approximately 23% of Sunshine’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.  The executed Patent Purchase Agreement also terminates the License Agreement between Sunshine and Advanomics and eliminates all obligations of Sunshine thereunder.

About Adva-27a

Adva-27a is Sunshine Biopharma's lead anticancer compound, a Topoisomerase II inhibitor, small molecule that has recently been shown to be effective at killing Pancreatic Cancer cells, Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells and Uterine Sarcoma cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012).  Adva-27a is currently in the IND-Enabling stage of development. The original U.S. patent covering Adva-27a was issued on August 7, 2012 under U.S. patent number 8,236,935.  The Company is planning Phase I clinical trials of Adva-27a for Pancreatic Cancer and in parallel Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer to be conducted at McGill University's Jewish General Hospital in Montreal (Canada).
