                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     This summary is not complete and may not contain all of the information
that you should consider before investing in the securities. You should read the
entire prospectus carefully. Unless we otherwise say so, when we discuss our
outstanding securities, we exclude all of our shares of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants and options and the
conversion of our convertible securities.

     We are a biopharmaceutical company located in Dallas, Texas. Our goal is to
develop products to identify, treat and prevent cancer and other diseases. To
date, our strategy has been to license technologies in their early development
stages from research and educational institutions and further develop such
technologies to the point where we can then sublicense them to commercial
entities. Through our research and development efforts and agreements with other
research institutions and biotechnology companies, we have acquired and
developed rights to certain proprietary technology.

     At the present time, we are focusing our attention and resources on a
collaboration agreement we have with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Inc. for the
production of Paclitaxel using fermentation and genetic engineering. Paclitaxel
is a drug which has proven to be effective in treating refractory ovarian,
breast and non-small cell lung cancer and other cancer indications in
preliminary clinical trials. Presently, however, Paclitaxel is made from the
inner bark and needles of the slow-growing Pacific yew tree. Our scientists are
working in cooperation with Bristol-Myers Squibb to develop a system for
manufacturing Paclitaxel in commercial qualities and at lower costs. Other areas
of focus include the treatment of polycystic kidney disease with Paclitaxel or
Paclitaxel Alternative, a proprietary drug design program using Quantum Core
Technology(TM), our Human Gene Discovery Program and OASIS(TM), our optimized
antisense library for regulating genes. "Anti-sense therapeutics" are drugs
designed to essentially "turn off" genes involved in different diseases and to
prevent such genes from growing or duplicating. Other programs, which involve
the production of Telomerase, the so called "immortality enzyme," the use of an
anti-estrogen peptide for breast cancer as a potential alternative to Tamoxifen
and our vaccine program are being pursued at modest levels. Such therapeutics
may help us develop future products or alternatives to our main programs if
unforeseen problems develop. However, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to develop such products or alternatives.

ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

     We were originally incorporated in the state of Texas in September 1991
under the name Bio Pharmaceutics, Inc. In November 1991, we changed our name to
Cytoclonal Pharmaceutics Inc. We were then reincorporated in the state of
Delaware by merger into a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary in January 1992. Our
executive offices are located at 9000 Harry Hines Boulevard, Suite 621, Dallas,
Texas 75235 and our telephone number is (214) 353-2922.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the following factors and other information
in this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of the Company's Common
Stock, Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants being offered by the Selling
Securityholders.

INVESTORS WILL EXPERIENCE A LOSS IN THE BOOK VALUE OF THEIR COMMON STOCK DUE TO
OUR ACCUMULATED DEFICIT.

     We had an accumulated deficit of $22,189,000 as of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999. Our statement of operations for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999 shows net losses of $4,357,000, which means a loss of $.44 per
share of common stock. Our statement of operations for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998 shows net losses of $2,728,000, which means a loss of $.30 per
share of common stock. Investors purchasing shares of our common stock will
experience a loss in the book value of their shares due to our net losses.

BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE LOSSES DUE TO OUR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
ACTIVITIES, WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY IN RAISING CAPITAL AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS COULD
EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

     From our formation in 1991 to the date of this prospectus, we have been
experiencing substantial operating losses due to our increasing research and
development activities and general and administrative expenditures. We expect to
have additional losses in the future. Although we had revenue in 1999 from our
research and development and license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb, it was
and remains our sole source of revenue. We cannot say with any certainty that we
will have any future revenue or, if we do have revenue, that it will be
profitable. Our failure to become profitable may make it more difficult for us
to raise additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. Such failure could
have a material adverse effect on our business.

WE WILL NEED SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS IN THE FUTURE, AND WE MAY HAVE TO ISSUE
ADDITIONAL SECURITIES TO DO SO, WHICH WILL RESULT IN DILUTION TO THE VALUE OF
OUR SECURITYHOLDERS' INVESTMENT.

     Since our formation in 1991, we have relied on loans, private financings,
and our November 1995 initial public offering to allow us to continue our
operations. Our cash requirements in the future may be significantly different
from our current estimates because of changes in our research and development
programs, increased competition, advances in technology and other factors. We
cannot say with any certainty that required financing will be available to us on
favorable terms, if at all. If we decide to raise additional money by issuing
more of our securities, securityholders will experience a dilution to the value
of their securities at the time of issuance.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PRODUCTS TO DATE AND RELY HEAVILY ON OUR LICENSE
AGREEMENTS -- THE LOSS OF ANY OF WHICH WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON
OUR BUSINESS AND CAUSE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF OUR SECURITYHOLDERS'
INVESTMENT.

     We have key license and collaborative agreements with several
pharmaceutical companies and research institutions, including, but not limited
to, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Enzon, the Research & Development Institute at Montana
State University, the Washington State University Research Foundation, the
University of California at Los Angeles, and the University of Texas at Dallas.
We have also entered into a joint venture agreement with Pestka Biomedical
Laboratories, Inc. In general, we have annual milestone and royalty fee
obligations under these agreements. Although we are currently compliant under
these agreements and do not foresee any future noncompliance, our industry is
extremely competitive and volatile. Generally, if we fail to satisfy such
obligations or cure any other default listed in such agreements, the other
parties may terminate them. Also, we cannot give any assurance that the other
parties to our agreements will honor their obligations, or that we will be able
to extend any of the agreements if they expire. We also cannot give any
assurance that we will be able to enter into new collaborative agreements with
existing or new partners. If we are unable to make the other parties to our
agreements honor their contractual obligations or to extend our current
agreements or if we fail to enter into any additional arrangements, we may
require additional money to

                                        4
<PAGE>   10

continue our current activities. The termination or breach of our agreements or
licenses, or our failure to enter into additional agreements and licenses may
have a material adverse effect on our business.

ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PRODUCTS TO DATE, EVEN IF WE DO HAVE THEM IN THE
FUTURE, THEY MIGHT NOT WORK OR THEY MIGHT BE TOXIC, DIFFICULT TO PRODUCE ON A
COMMERCIAL SCALE OR DISLIKED BY OUR CUSTOMERS. THIS COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND CAUSE OUR SECURITYHOLDERS TO LOSE THEIR INVESTMENT.

     Research and development of anti-cancer drugs is a lengthy and costly
process. We cannot say with any certainty that we will be able to develop or
produce any products or, if we do, that they will work as intended, be
non-toxic, that customers will like them or that they will be capable of being
manufactured on a large scale. Furthermore, our products will be in the
biotechnology field which has historically had a large number of unsuccessfully
developed products, or if developed, such products have been commercially,
scientifically or medically unacceptable. Any of these impediments could have a
material adverse effect on our business and cause a decrease in the value of our
securityholders' investment.

WE MIGHT NOT HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES TO COMPETE WITH THE BIOTECHNOLOGY LEADERS,
AND INVESTORS COULD LOSE THEIR MONEY.

     We have less than 20 employees in the heavily regulated, competitive and
quickly changing biotechnology industry. Most of our competitors have more
personnel, research and development experience, experience in getting
governmental approval and money than us. Our business may be materially
adversely affected if our competitors develop products before us or produce
superior products to ours.

IF COMPETITORS ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR CHALLENGE OF BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB'S
PATENT, WE COULD BE INDIRECTLY HURT UNDER OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH
BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB, AND OUR SECURITYHOLDERS COULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE
VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

     In June 1998, we entered into a license agreement with Bristol-Myers
Squibb, an industry leader, for the development of a Paclitaxel production
system. To date, this license agreement has been our sole source of revenue. In
June 1991, the National Cancer Institute entered into a collaborative research
and development agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb to develop Paclitaxel, and
it granted Bristol-Myers Squibb the exclusive use of the Institute's clinical
data in Bristol-Myers' search for FDA approval until December 1997. This
significantly shortened the approval process and prevented any other party from
obtaining the Food & Drug Administration's approval using the Institute's data.
Although Bristol-Myers Squibb has since lost its right of exclusivity under the
agreement, it has patented its method of delivering Paclitaxel intravenously to
a patient. Such patent has in fact kept the Institute's data exclusive and has
put other companies at a competitive disadvantage by effectively preventing them
from using the data. Other companies are currently contesting the exclusivity of
this data in the courts. If such competitors are successful in their challenge,
Bristol-Myers Squibb could suffer which in turn would decrease the value of our
license agreement with them and our securityholders could experience a decrease
in the value of their investment.

WE RELY ON BROAD PATENT PROTECTION FOR OUR TECHNOLOGY BUT WE MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH
RESOURCES TO CONDUCT OR DEFEND OURSELVES FROM LONG AND EXPENSIVE LITIGATION
CLAIMS REGARDING THE BREADTH OF PATENTS, AND OUR SECURITYHOLDERS COULD
EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

     Our success will depend on our ability to get patent protection for our
products and processes in the United States and elsewhere. We have filed and
intend to continue to file patent applications as we need them. We cannot say
with any certainty, however, that any additional patents will issue from any of
these applications or, if patents do issue, that the claims allowed will be
sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Also, we cannot say with any
certainty that any patents issued to us, or licensed by us, can withstand
challenges made by others or that we will able to protect our rights. Our
business may be materially adversely affected if we are unable to obtain or
enforce patent protection.

     To date, we have not been sued or threatened by parties claiming that we
have infringed their patents. Further, we do not believe that any of our patents
have been infringed by other parties, and, accordingly, we

                                        5
<PAGE>   11

have not taken any action to date. However, we are aware of patent applications
and issued patents belonging to our competitors, and we are uncertain whether
any of these, or of any patent applications which we do not know about, will
require us to alter or cease our potential products or processes. We cannot say
with any certainty that we will be able to obtain any licenses to technology
that we will require or, if obtainable, that the cost of them will be
reasonable. Our failure to obtain any necessary licenses to any technology could
substantially hurt our business. Expensive and drawn-out litigation may also be
necessary for us to assert any of our rights or to determine the scope and
validity of rights claimed by other parties. Litigation could be too expensive
for us to pursue without great cost and uncertainty as to the outcome. Our
failure to pursue litigation could result in the loss of our rights which could
substantially hurt our business.

WE ARE IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH OTHER BIOPHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO DEVELOP
AND PRODUCE ANTI-CANCER PRODUCTS. OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY
AFFECTED IF OUR TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION WERE DISCLOSED TO OUR
COMPETITORS, AND INVESTORS COULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR
INVESTMENTS.

     We also rely on trade secrets and confidential information which we try to
protect by entering into confidentiality agreements with other parties. We
cannot say with any certainty that any of the confidentiality agreements will be
honored or, if breached, we would have enough remedies to protect the
confidential information, or that our competitors will not independently learn
our trade secrets. The loss of our trade secrets would substantially hurt our
business.

WE ARE A SMALL COMPANY WITH LITTLE REVENUE, AND WE MAY NOT HAVE THE HUMAN AND
FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO WITHSTAND THE REQUIRED LENGTHY FDA TESTING AND APPROVAL
PROCESSES.

     The Food & Drug Administration and other similar agencies in foreign
countries have lengthy and detailed laboratory testing and approval requirements
for therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and biological products. It often
takes companies several years and large sums of money to satisfy these
requirements, depending on the complexity and novelty of the products. Since we
are a small company with limited personnel and financial resources, we might not
be able to withstand the rigorous and time consuming FDA approval process as
compared to our larger competitors. Furthermore, since we are in the highly
competitive biopharmaceutical industry, any failure or delay in obtaining any
FDA approvals could substantially hurt our company, and investors could lose
their money. We cannot say with any certainty that the FDA or other regulatory
agencies will grant us approval for any of our products on a timely basis, if at
all.

WE HAVE LITTLE REVENUE AND MAY NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO COMPLY WITH
OSHA, EPA AND OTHER AGENCIES' REQUIREMENTS.

     We have to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
Environmental Protection Agency, Toxic Substances Control Act, Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and other regulatory laws. In the future, we could
also be subject to other federal, state or local regulations. OSHA or the EPA
may establish regulations which could affect our research and development
programs. We are unable to predict whether any agency will adopt any rule which
could substantially hurt our business.

OUR PRODUCTS, IF ANY, WILL BE INNOVATIVE AND MAY NOT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE
COMPANIES OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYERS WHICH MAY MAKE OUR PRODUCTS LESS
MARKETABLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND CAUSE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF OUR
SECURITYHOLDERS' INVESTMENT.

     Our success in developing our products may depend, in part, on whether we
will be reimbursed by government health administration authorities, private
health insurers and other organizations. There is significant uncertainty if
costs associated with newly-approved health care products will be reimbursed. If
adequate coverage and reimbursement levels are not provided by government and
third-party payers for uses of our products, it will make it very difficult for
us to market our products to doctors and hospitals because their patients might
not be able to pay for the products without any insurance coverage or
reimbursement. We cannot say with any certainty whether sufficient insurance
coverage will be available for us to establish and maintain price levels
sufficient to realize an appropriate return on developing new products.
Government and
                                        6
<PAGE>   12

other third-party payers are attempting to contain health care costs by limiting
both coverage and the level of reimbursement of new therapeutic and diagnostic
products approved for marketing by the FDA and by refusing, in some cases, to
provide any coverage of uses of approved products for disease indications for
which the FDA has not granted marketing approval. Such refusal by insurance
companies and third-party payers to reimburse the costs of, expenses associated
with, our products might have a material adverse effect on our business.

OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB, AN INDUSTRY LEADER, HAS, TO
DATE, BEEN OUR SOLE SOURCE OF REVENUE. OUR SECURITYHOLDERS COULD EXPERIENCE A
DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS IF SUCH AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED OR
CEASES TO GENERATE REVENUE.

     In June 1998, we entered into a license agreement and a research and
development agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb. Through December 31, 1999, we
have recognized $2,558,000 in revenue from the agreement. Such agreement has
been our sole source of revenues to date. Under the license agreement, we
granted to Bristol-Myers Squibb exclusive sublicenses under our agreements with
the Research & Development Institute at Montana State University and the
Washington State University Research Foundation relating to technologies for the
production of Paclitaxel. Our license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb
requires them to pay us royalty and milestone payments. The term of our license
agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb ends on the later ten (10) years from the
first commercial sale of the licensed products or such time as neither the
making, use nor sale at the time by Bristol-Myers Squibb, its affiliates or
sublicensees does not infringe any U.S. or foreign patents or patent
applications, copyrights or trademarks owned and licensed by the Research &
Development Institute and the Washington State University Research Foundation.
Bristol-Myers Squibb may terminate the license agreement upon 90 days notice. We
cannot say with any certainty that Bristol-Myers Squibb will successfully
manufacture or market the licensed property, if at all, or that we will be able
to maintain our agreements with the Research & Development Institute or the
Washington State University Research Foundation. Although we do not have any
reason to believe Bristol-Myers Squibb is unwilling to work with us under our
license agreement with them, it is a possibility that Bristol-Myers Squibb
might, in the future, decide not to utilize our technology, use other technology
they find superior or enter into a license agreement or agreements with another
party or parties, thereby decreasing their need to utilize our technology under
our license agreement with them or even cause them to terminate the license
agreement. Our loss of the license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb could
have a material adverse effect on our business and stockholders could experience
a decrease in the value of their investments.

WE LACK MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE AND FACILITIES, AND IF WE HAVE TO EXPEND
RESOURCES TO BUILD FACILITIES OR IF WE FAIL TO HIRE COMPETENT OUTSIDE
MANUFACTURERS, OUR SECURITYHOLDERS COULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF
THEIR INVESTMENT.

     We currently do not have facilities or personnel capable of manufacturing
any products in commercial quantities. In the future, we may establish our own
manufacturing facilities to manufacture products if it becomes economically
attractive to do so. Building and operating production facilities would require
substantial additional funds and other resources as well as interrupt our daily
operations. We cannot be sure, however, whether sufficient funds to build
satisfactory manufacturing facilities would be available on favorable terms to
us, if at all. If we cannot obtain sufficient financing, we will most likely
have to retain outside manufacturers. We cannot be sure, however, whether we
will be able to retain competent manufacturers at affordable rates, or that the
manufacturers will be able to produce and deliver our products pursuant to our
instructions concerning quality, quantity and time as well as other factors. If
we are unable to manufacture our products, if any, or have them manufactured by
others, our business would be materially adversely affected and our
securityholders would experience a decrease in the value of their investment.

                                        7
<PAGE>   13

WE LACK MARKETING EXPERIENCE. IF WE FAIL TO RETAIN COMPETENT MARKETING PERSONNEL
OR OUTSIDE MARKETERS, OR IF WE HAVE INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO MARKET OUR
PRODUCTS, OUR SECURITYHOLDERS COULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR
INVESTMENT.

     As of December 31, 1999, we had 19 employees, none of whom have any
experience in marketing pharmaceutical products. We would have to spend
significant funds and dedicate a significant amount of management resources to
develop our own sales force. We cannot say with any certainty that any funds or
resources for such purposes will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
Further, we cannot say with any certainty that, with a sales force, we would
successfully penetrate the markets for any of our products. For certain products
under development, we may seek to enter into marketing agreements with other
entities which would grant them exclusive marketing rights in return for
royalties based on sales, if any. Under some of these agreements, the other
entity may have the responsibility for all or a significant part of the
development and obtaining regulatory approval. In the event that the marketing
and development partner fails to develop a marketable product or fails to
successfully market a product, our business could be substantially hurt. The
sale of certain products outside the United States will also be dependent upon
the successful completion of arrangements with future partners, licensees or
distributors in each territory. We cannot give any assurance, however, that we
will successfully establish any additional collaborative arrangements or that,
if established, such future partners will successfully commercialize any
products, if at all.

WE ARE A SMALL COMPANY AND HEAVILY DEPEND UPON OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND
SCIENTISTS WHO ARE HIGHLY SKILLED IN BIOPHARMACOLOGY, ESPECIALLY OUR CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT, ARTHUR P. BOLLON, PH.D. OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE
MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE LOSS OF ANY SUCH PERSONS, AND
SECURITYHOLDERS COULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

     Much of our success depends upon the continued contributions of our
executive officers, scientific and technical personnel and consultants. We are
particularly dependent upon Arthur P. Bollon, Ph.D., the Chairman of our Board
of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Daniel Shusterman, the
Vice President of Operations, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, Dorit Arad,
Ph.D., our Vice President of Drug Design, as well as our senior scientists,
Susan L. Berent, Ph.D., Hakim Labidi, Ph.D., Rajinder S. Sidhu, Ph.D. and
Richard M. Torczynski, Ph.D. As of December 31, 1999, we had 19 full-time
employees, 16 of whom are engaged directly in research and development
activities, including 7 Ph.D.s, and 3 of whom are in executive and
administrative positions. Our employees are not governed by any collective
bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relationship with our employees is
good. We currently have an employment agreement with Dr. Bollon which expires on
November 6, 2003. Although we maintain "key person" life insurance which
provides that upon the death or incapacity of Dr. Bollon, we will receive $2
million, Dr. Bollon's death or incapacity could substantially hurt our business.
The competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of services of
certain key personnel could substantially hurt our business.

OUR SCIENTISTS WORK FOR OTHER COMPANIES AND INSTITUTIONS, AND WE MAY NOT HAVE
THE RIGHT TO THEIR INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES, WHICH MIGHT HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.

     Our scientific collaborators and advisors are employed by companies and
institutions other than us, and some of them have consulting or other advisory
arrangements with other entities and institutions which could conflict or
compete with their obligations to us. Inventions or processes discovered by such
persons will not necessarily become our property but may remain the property of
such persons or of such persons' full-time employers. Our failure to
successfully assert our rights to any inventions or processes discovered by our
scientists might have a material adverse affect on our business.

IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN SATISFACTORY PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR OUR FUTURE
PRODUCTS, IF ANY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER INTO MATERIAL AGREEMENTS WHICH
REQUIRE US TO HAVE SUCH INSURANCE, AND INVESTORS COULD, THEREFORE, EXPERIENCE A
DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

     To date, we have not had any product liability claims filed or threatened
against us. In the future, however, when and if we develop products, our
products could expose us to product liability claims. Although we intend to
obtain product liability insurance for our ongoing clinical trials, we cannot
say with any certainty
                                        8
<PAGE>   14

that we will be able to obtain, maintain or increase our insurance coverage in
the future on terms favorable to us, if at all, or that any claims against us
will not be greater than the amount of such coverage. Distributors of
pharmaceutical and biological products often require minimum product liability
insurance coverage as a condition before they start purchasing or accepting
products for distribution. Our failure to satisfy such insurance requirements
could decrease our ability to achieve broad distribution of our proposed
products and have a material adverse effect on our business and investors could
experience a decrease in the value of their investment.

THE VALUE OF OUR SECURITYHOLDERS' INVESTMENT MAY BE SUPPRESSED BECAUSE OUR
COMPANY MAY BE A LESS ATTRACTIVE TAKEOVER CANDIDATE DUE TO THE FACT THAT A
MAJORITY OF OUR STOCK IS OWNED BY AFFILIATES.

     Our current officers, directors and stockholders who own more than 5% of
our securities beneficially own or control approximately 24.3% of our
outstanding shares of common stock, which represents approximately 23.2% of our
total outstanding voting securities. Such officers, directors and principal
stockholders may, therefore, be able to elect all of our directors, to determine
the outcome of most corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, and
otherwise to control the direction of our business which may cause the price of
our common stock to be suppressed.

ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, WE PAY ANNUAL DIVIDENDS ON
OUR SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK BY GIVING THE HOLDERS THEREOF MORE SERIES A
PREFERRED STOCK. OUR SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK IS CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON STOCK,
AND SUCH CONVERSION WILL DILUTE THE BOOK VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASED IN
THIS OFFERING.

     Since 1991, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We intend
to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for the operation of our
business and, accordingly, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our
common stock in the future. Furthermore, the terms of our outstanding series A
preferred stock do not allow for the payment of cash dividends on the common
stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the series A
preferred stock shall have been paid or set apart for payment. Historically
speaking, we have paid dividends on our series A preferred stock with
payment-in-kind. Our series A preferred stock is convertible into an equal
number of shares of common stock. As more holders of the series A preferred
stock convert their preferred stock into common stock, investors in this
offering will experience a decline in the book value of their common stock.

WE ARE OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, ABSENT CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES, WHICH MAY REQUIRE US TO SPEND TIME AND MONEY OTHERWISE ALLOCATED,
AND CAUSE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF OUR SECURITYHOLDERS' INVESTMENT.

     We are incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. Our
certificate of incorporation includes certain provisions permitted under the
Delaware General Corporation Law, whereby our officers and directors are
indemnified by us against certain liabilities. Our certificate of incorporation
also limits, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporate Law,
a director's liability for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty,
including gross negligence, except liability for breach of loyalty, acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of the law, the unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock
purchase or redemption and any transaction from which the director derives an
improper personal benefit. An insurance policy, which provides for coverage for
certain liabilities of its officers and directors has been issued to us.
However, although we do not currently know of any conduct of any officer or
director which may have a material effect on our business, if such insurance
proves to be inadequate, we will have to use funds otherwise allocated to
indemnify any director. The use of funds and resources, including management's
time and energy, to properly indemnify or otherwise prepare for the defense of
any director might have a material adverse effect on our business.

IF WE FAIL TO MEET NASDAQ'S MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS AND ARE DELISTED FROM
NASDAQ, INVESTORS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING THEIR SECURITIES, WHICH WOULD
CAUSE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

     Our common stock and Class D Warrants are currently quoted on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market System, however we will be redeeming all outstanding Class D
Warrants on April 12, 2000. Our common stock is quoted under the symbol, "CYPH."
Our Class D Warrants are quoted under the symbol, "CYPHZ." Nasdaq has certain
requirements that every company must meet in order to have their securities
quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap System. Although we currently meet Nasdaq's
criteria for continued listing, we cannot say with any certainty that we will
continue to meet such criteria.

     For continued inclusion on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System, a company has
to maintain the following:

     - either:

      - net tangible assets of $2 million,

      - market capitalization of $35 million or

      - net income of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in
        two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years;

     - a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share;

     - in the case of a convertible debt security, a principal amount
       outstanding of at least $5 million;

     - in the case of common stock, at least 300 round lot holders; and

     - 500,000 publicly held shares having a market value of at least $1
       million.

     If we are unable to meet the continued listing criteria of the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market System any time in the future due to our continued operating
losses or otherwise, and our securities are delisted, trading of our securities,
if any, would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in the so-called "pink
sheets" or, if available, the NASD's "Electronic Bulletin Board." As a result,
investors could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations as to the value of, our securities.

IF WE ARE DELISTED FROM NASDAQ, BROKER-DEALERS MAY BE UNWILLING TO SELL
INVESTORS' STOCK, AND INVESTORS WOULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF
THEIR INVESTMENT.

     If our securities are delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System, they
may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such
securities. There are exceptions to Rule 15g-9 and they include transactions
meeting the safe-harbor requirements of Rules 505 or 506 under Regulation D of
the Securities Act, and transactions in which the purchaser is an institutional
accredited investor, as defined in the Securities Act, or an established
customer, as defined in the Securities Act, of the broker-dealer. For
transactions which have to comply with the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the
Exchange Act of 1934, a broker-dealer must determine whether or not the
purchaser meets a special suitability standard, and the broker-dealer must
receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction before the sale.
These requirements could make broker-dealers unwilling or even unable to sell
our securities which could make it more difficult for our investors to resell
their securities to other parties.

IF OUR STOCK IS DELISTED BY NASDAQ AND BECOMES A "PENNY STOCK," INVESTORS MIGHT
EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS DUE TO THE RESTRICTIONS
ON BROKER-DEALERS IN SELLING "PENNY STOCK."

     The SEC defines a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market
price under $5.00 per share or has an exercise price under $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. Unless exempt, the rules require the delivery,
prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of SEC material telling the purchaser
certain information about the penny stock. Purchasers must also be told about
the commissions that the broker-dealers and the registered representatives will
get and they must be told about the securities current prices.
                                       10
<PAGE>   16

Finally, purchasers must also be given statements every month which have to tell
the purchaser about his or her securities' recent prices and about the
limitations of the penny stock market. These penny stock restrictions will not
apply to our securities if they stay quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
System, and if they have certain price and volume information provided on a
current and continuing basis or if they meet certain minimum net tangible assets
or average revenue criteria. We cannot say with any certainty, however, that our
securities will continue to meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market requirements in the
future and if we do not, the prices of our securities could decrease and
investors could find it difficult to sell their securities. If we were to remain
exempt from the penny-stock restrictions, we still have to comply with Section
15(b)(6) under the Exchange Act of 1934, which gives the SEC the authority to
stop any person who breaks the law when selling penny stock from selling any
more penny stock or from working with any broker-dealer.

WE HAVE GRANTED REGISTRATION RIGHTS TO SEVERAL PARTIES HOLDING OUR COMMON STOCK
OR WHO HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK. THE REGISTRATION OF SUCH
SECURITIES WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FREELY TRADEABLE SHARES OF OUR COMMON
STOCK AND MAY DECREASE THE BOOK VALUE OF OUR SECURITYHOLDERS' SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.

     There will be 13,931,448 registered shares of our common stock outstanding
upon the completion of this offering. All of these shares will be freely
transferrable without restriction if we continue to comply with the SEC and
certain states' registration requirements. Certain of our other outstanding
securities are not registered with the SEC, and are considered to be "restricted
securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may
only be sold in certain circumstances.

     We have also granted certain investors demand and piggy-back registration
rights to have their common stock registered with the SEC. We will have to pay
for the expense of registration if one or more of these groups exercise their
demand registration rights or "piggy-back" registration rights. The expense
could be high. Also, because there would be a high number of shares outstanding,
we could find it more difficult to obtain future financing.

     The sale, or availability for sale, of substantial amounts of common stock
in the public market pursuant to Rule 144 or registration could cause the market
price of the common stock and our other securities to decrease which could hurt
our ability to raise additional money through the sale of our securities or
through debt financing. Also, to the extent that outstanding options and
warrants are exercised, securityholders' ownership interest will drop. Also, if
and to the extent that we reduce the exercise price of outstanding warrants or
options, our stockholders could experience additional dilution.

THE VALUE OF THE SECURITYHOLDERS' INVESTMENT MAY BE SUPPRESSED BECAUSE OUR
COMPANY MAY BE A LESS ATTRACTIVE TAKEOVER CANDIDATE DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS THE DISCRETION TO ISSUE 10,000,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED
STOCK SUPERIOR TO OUR COMMON STOCK WITHOUT STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

     Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue
a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock on terms which may be
determined by them without getting stockholder approval. Of these 10,000,000
shares, 4,000,000 shares have already been designated as Series A Preferred
Stock of which 745,031 remain outstanding as of March 28, 2000. The Series A
Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder into an equal number of shares of
common stock. Also, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock include dividend
and liquidation preferences which could also hurt the rights of holders of the
common stock being offered hereby. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is
entitled to one vote on all matters on which the common stock has the right to
vote. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a separate
class on any proposed adverse change in their rights, preferences or privileges
and any increase in the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred stock.
Further, the terms of any additional series of preferred stock, which may also
include priority claims to assets and dividends, as well as special voting
rights, could hurt the rights of the holders of the common stock being offered
hereby. Other than the Series A Preferred Stock, we have not issued any other
preferred stock, and we do not plan to issue any additional preferred stock
other than payment-in-kind dividends. Investors should also know that if too
much preferred stock is outstanding, it could make it more difficult for a third
party to take control of our business or to remove our board of directors and
executive officers. Hostile bids for control of a company usually result in
                                       11
<PAGE>   17

the market prices for a company's securities to increase. It would also dilute
or subordinate the rights of holders of common stock and cause the market price
of the common stock to drop.

INVESTORS WILL BE PREVENTED FROM RESELLING THEIR SECURITIES IF WE FAIL TO MEET
APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR FIND EXEMPTIONS FROM
SUCH REQUIREMENTS.

     The common stock, Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants offered in this
offering can be resold by the investors only if a current registration statement
relating to them is in effect with the SEC under the Securities Act, and if they
are registered, qualified, or exempt therefrom, under the applicable state blue
sky laws. We cannot say with any certainty that we will be able to meet the SEC
and states' registration or exemption requirements. If we cannot meet the
requirements, the investors will be unable to resell their common stock, Class C
Warrants and Class D Warrants.

NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE CLASS C WARRANTS AND LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE
CLASS D WARRANTS

     On March 9, 2000 we redeemed all of the outstanding Class C Warrants at a
price of $.05 per Class C Warrant. On March 13, 2000 we gave notice to all
holders of outstanding Class D Warrants that we would be redeeming all
outstanding Class D Warrants on April 12, 2000 at a price of $.05 per Class D
Warrant. The Class C Warrants and Class D offered by this prospectus are not
subject to redemption. As a result of the Class C Warrant redemption there will
be no public market for the resale of The Class C Warrants. The Class D Warrants
are currently listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, however, they will be
delisted after the Class D Redemption on April 12, 2000.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     We will not receive any of the proceeds from the Selling Securityholders'
sale of their Common Stock, Class C Warrants or Class D Warrants. However, we
will receive the proceeds when the Selling Securityholders exercise their Unit
Purchase Options and their Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants. We will use
the proceeds we receive when the Selling Securityholders exercise their Unit
Purchase Options and their Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants for research
and development and general corporate purposes.

                            SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

     The Selling Securityholders are offering and selling a total of up to
1,143,408 shares of our Common Stock, 194,909 Class C Warrants and 389,818 Class
D Warrants.

     RMA is a former market-maker in our securities and is a Selling
Securityholder that holds an aggregate of 290,856 of the shares of Common Stock
included in this offering. 72,714 of which are issuable upon the exercise of the

upon exercise of the Class D Warrants underlying the Class C Warrants and 72,714
of which are issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrants underlying the Unit

Bruce Meyers, a 100% stockholder, executive officer and director of the
corporate general partner of RMA. RMA has also acted as private placement agent
for our private placement completed in 1995 (the "1995 Private Placement") and
1998 Private Placement and was one of the syndicate managers in our IPO. As of
March 28, 2000 there were 12,788,040 shares of Common Stock and 745,031 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. RMA beneficially owns a total of
2,099,464 shares of Common Stock, which represents 15.7% of the total number of
outstanding Common Stock before the completion of this offering. RMA will
beneficially own 1,707,304 shares of Common Stock, which will represent 12.1% of
the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock upon the completion of
this offering. RMA also beneficially owns 26,600 shares of our Series A
Preferred Stock, which represents 3.6% of the total number of outstanding Series
A Preferred Stock. When combining RMA's ownership of Common Stock and Series A
Preferred Stock, RMA beneficially owns 15.0% of all of our outstanding voting
securities before the completion of this offering and will own 11.7% of all our
outstanding voting securities upon the completion of this offering.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     The shares of Common Stock, Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants, being
offered pursuant to this prospectus are issuable upon exercise of Unit Purchase
Options issued to the underwriters of our initial public offering and upon
exercise of certain options and warrants. Each Unit consisted of one share of
Common Stock, one Class C warrant and one Class D Warrant. See "Risk
Factors -- Possible Restriction on 'Market Making' Activities in the Company's
Securities; Illiquidity; and Selling Securityholders."

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     This prospectus may be used from time to time by the Selling
Securityholders to sell their shares of Common Stock, Class C Warrants or Class
D Warrants registered in this prospectus in transactions in which they are or
may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act. The
Selling Securityholders may also sell their shares of Common Stock, Class C
Warrants or Class D Warrants being registered in this prospectus to or through
brokers or dealers who may act solely as agent, or may acquire shares as
principal. The distribution of the shares of Common Stock, Class C Warrants or
Class D Warrants may be effected in one or more transactions that may take place
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System, ordinary broker's transactions, privately
negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more broker-dealers for
resale of such securities as principals, at market prices prevailing at the time
of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or
commissions may be paid by these holders in connection with such sales. In
connection with such sales, the Selling Securityholders and any participating
brokers or dealers may be deemed "underwriters" as such term is defined in the
Securities Act. See "Risk Factors -- Current Prospectus and State Registration
Required to Resell Common Stock."

     RMA is a Selling Securityholder and beneficially owns [290,856] of the
shares of Common Stock included in this offering. RMA has acted as private
placement agent in our 1995 Private Placement and 1998 Private Placement and was
one of the syndicate managers in our IPO. In consideration for its services in
connection with our 1998 Private Placement, RMA received a commission of 10% of
the gross proceeds, as well as 3% non-accountable expense allowance and
reimbursement for other costs, including legal expenses relating to the 1998
Private Placement. Also, for its services, we issued RMA five-year warrants to
acquire 20% of the number of securities bought in the 1998 Private Placement.
See "Risk Factors -- Current Prospectus and State Registration Required to
Resell Common Stock."

     In addition to any such number of shares of common stock sold hereunder, a
Selling Securityholder may, at the same time, sell any shares of common stock,
including the shares of common stock to which this prospectus pertains, owned by
him or her in compliance with all of the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this
prospectus.

     There is no assurance that any of the Selling Securityholders will sell any
or all of the shares of common stock offered hereby.

     We will pay all expenses in connection with this offering other than
commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents. All selling and
other expenses incurred by individual Selling Securityholders will be borne by
such Selling Securityholders.

     We have notified the Selling Securityholders of the need to deliver a copy
of this prospectus in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Registrant provides
that the Company shall indemnify any person to the full extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL"). Section 145 of the GCL, relating
to indemnification, is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be
permitted to Directors, officers or controlling persons of the Company pursuant
to the Company's By-laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company
has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation includes certain provisions
permitted pursuant to Delaware law whereby officers and Directors of the Company
are to be indemnified against certain liabilities. The Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation also limits, to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law, a director's liability for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty, including gross negligence, except liability for (i) breach of
the director's duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii)
the unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption and
(iv) any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
benefit. Delaware law does not eliminate a director's duty of care and this
provision has no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as
injunction or rescission based upon a director's breach of the duty of care. In
addition, the Company has obtained an insurance policy providing coverage for
certain liabilities of its officers and Directors.

     In accordance with Section 102(a)(7) of the GCL, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Registrant eliminates the personal liability of directors
to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director with certain limited exceptions set forth in Section
102(a)(7).

Dear Sirs:

     We refer to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration

(the "Company"), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission thereby

     We have examined and are familiar with originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the
Company, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and
such other documents as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions
expressed below.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

          1. The Class C Warrants have been duly and validly authorized and when
     sold, paid for and issued upon the exercise of the Unit Purchase Options in
     accordance with the terms of the Unit Purchase Options, will be duly and
     validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          2. The Class D Warrants have been duly and validly authorized and when
     sold, paid for and issued upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Options and
     the Class C Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Unit Purchase
     Option, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

          3. The Common Stock has been duly and validly authorized and when
     sold, paid for and issued upon the exercise of the Unit Purchase Options,
     Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants in accordance with the terms of the
     Unit Purchase Option, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
     nonassessable.

          4. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the options and warrants
     described in the Registration Statement has been duly and validly
     authorized and when sold, paid for and issued in accordance with the terms
     of such options and warrants will be duly and validly issued, fully paid
     and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in the above-mentioned
Registration Statement and to the reference to our name under the heading "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement.

                                  Very truly yours,
