Exhibit 14

TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.  CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

For Employees, Officers and Directors

Introduction

To further Titan's fundamental principles of honesty, loyalty, fairness and forthrightness we have established the Titan Pharmaceutical's, Inc. Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code strives to deter wrongdoing and promote the following six objectives:



Accounting Controls, Procedures & Records

Applicable laws and company policy require Titan to keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect its transactions and the dispositions of its assets.
In this regard, our financial executives shall:



All
directors, officers, employees and other persons are prohibited from directly or indirectly falsifying or causing to be false or misleading any financial or accounting book, record
or account. Furthermore, no director, officer or employee of Titan may directly or indirectly:



Bribery

The offering, promising, or giving of money, gifts, loans, rewards, favors or anything of value to any supplier, customer or governmental official is strictly
prohibited.

Communications

It is very important that the information disseminated about Titan be both accurate and consistent. For this reason, certain of our executive officers who have
been designated as authorized spokespersons per our policy regarding compliance with Regulation FD are responsible for our internal and external communications, including public communications with
stockholders, analysts and other interested members of the financial community. Employees should refer all outside requests for information to the authorized spokespersons.

Computer and Information Systems

For business purposes, officers and employees are provided telephones and computer workstations and software, including network access to computing systems such
as the Internet and e-mail, to improve personal productivity and to efficiently manage proprietary information in a secure and reliable manner. You must obtain the permission from our
Information Technology Services department to install any software on any company computer or connect any personal laptop to the Titan network. As with other equipment and assets of Titan, we are each
responsible for the appropriate use of these assets. Except for limited personal use of Titan's telephones and computer/e-mail, such equipment may be used only for business purposes.
Officers and employees should not expect a right to privacy of their e-mail. All e-mails on company equipment are subject to monitoring by Titan.

Confidential or Proprietary Information

Company policy prohibits employees from disclosing confidential or proprietary information outside Titan, either during or after employment, without company
authorization to do so. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, confidential and proprietary information includes any and all methods, inventions, improvements or discoveries, whether or not patentable
or copyrightable, and any other information of a similar nature disclosed to the directors, officers or employees of Titan or otherwise made known to us as a consequence of or through employment or
association with Titan (including information originated by the director, officer or employee). This can include, but is not limited to, information regarding our business, research, development,
inventions, trade secrets, intellectual property of any type or description, data, business plans, marketing strategies and contract negotiations.

Conflicts of Interest

Company policy prohibits conflicts between the interests of its employees, officers, directors and Titan. A conflict of interest exists when an employee, officer,
or director's personal interest interferes or may interfere with the interests of the company. Conflicts of interest may not always be clear, so if an employee has a concern that a conflict of
interest may exist, they should consult with higher levels of management, and in the case of officers and directors, they should consult with a member of the Audit Committee. When it is deemed to be
in the best interests of Titan and its shareholders, the Audit Committee may grant waivers to employees, officers and directors who have disclosed an actual or potential conflict of interest. Such
waivers are subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

Fraud

Company policy prohibits fraud of any type or description.

Inside Information

Company policy and applicable laws prohibit disclosure of material inside information to anyone outside Titan without a specific business reason for them to know.
It is unlawful and against company policy for anyone possessing inside information to use such information for personal gain. Titan's

policies
with respect to the use and disclosure of material non-public information are more particularly set forth in Titan's Insider Trading Policy.

Political Contributions

Company policy prohibits the use of company, personal or other funds or resources on behalf of Titan for political or other purposes which are improper or
prohibited by the applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws, rules or regulations. Company contributions or expenditures in connection with election campaigns will be permitted where allowed by
federal, state, local or foreign election laws, rules and regulations.

Reporting and Non-Retaliation

Employees who have evidence of any violations of this code are encouraged and expected to report them to their supervisor, and in the case of officers and
directors, they should report evidence of any such violations to a member of the Audit Committee. Such reports will be investigated in reference to applicable laws and company policy. Violations of
this Code or any other unlawful acts by our officers, directors or employees may subject the individual to dismissal from employment and/or fines, imprisonment and civil litigation according to
applicable laws.

We
will not allow retaliation against an employee for reporting a possible violation of this Code in good faith. Retaliation for reporting a federal offense is illegal under federal law
and prohibited under this Code. Retaliation for reporting any violation of a law, rule or regulation or a provision of this Code is prohibited. Retaliation will result in discipline up to and
including termination of employment and may also result in criminal prosecution.

Waivers

There shall be no waiver of any part of this Code for any director or officer except by a vote of the Board of Directors or a designated board committee that will
ascertain whether a waiver is appropriate under all the circumstances. In case a waiver of this Code is granted to a director or officer, the notice of such waiver shall be posted on our website
within five days of the Board of Director's vote or shall be otherwise disclosed as required by applicable law or the American Stock Exchange Rules. Notices posted on our website shall remain there
for a period of 12 months and shall be retained in our files as required by law.
