ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On July 29, 2008, Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the listing of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, has been transferred from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market, effective with the opening of trading on July 29, 2008. On July 29, 2008, The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notified the Company that it had met all initial inclusion criteria for The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c) (except for the bid price). Accordingly, Nasdaq has provided the Company with an additional 180 calendar day period, or until January 26, 2009, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If, at any time before January 26, 2009, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company is in compliance with the rule. In response to Nasdaq’s notification, the Company intends to continue carefully monitor its stock price and consider all options to regain compliance, including but not limited to a potential reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock in a range between 1:3 and 1:10, as approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting on June 19, 2008.

The Company’s press release dated July 29, 2008 with respect to the notification from Nasdaq described above is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
