Item 1.		Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed on November 16, 2005 (the “Schedule 13D”) by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“King”) with respect to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”) of Palatin Technologies, Inc. (the “Issuer”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer owned by King. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 4-C Cedar Brook Drive, Cedar Brook Corporate Center, Cranbury, NJ 08512.

This Amendment No. 1 is being made to disclose a decrease in King’s beneficial ownership of the Common Stock of the Issuer due to the expiration of warrants owned by King to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer. All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.


Item 4.		Purpose of Transaction.

The second paragraph of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

On August 12, 2004, King entered into a Collaborative Development and Marketing Agreement with the Issuer (the “Collaboration Agreement”), as subsequently amended as of September 20, 2005. The Purchase Agreement was executed in connection with the Collaboration Agreement and sets forth the terms and conditions relating to certain equity investments in the Issuer’s Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events and the achievement of certain milestones by the Issuer. In September 2007, King provided notice to the Issuer of its termination of the Collaboration Agreement. The termination became effective in December 2007.


Item 5.		Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) King is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 5,675,461 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, an aggregate beneficial holding comprising 6.66 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The calculations in this Schedule 13D are based upon 85,204,169 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 9, 2008 (based on disclosures made by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008). The foregoing calculation is made pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(b) King has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 5,675,461 shares deemed to be beneficially owned by it.

(d) To the knowledge of King, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Issuer deemed to be beneficially owned by King.

(e) Not applicable.


Item 6.		Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The first paragraph of Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

King and the Issuer are parties to (i) the Purchase Agreement, which is attached to the Schedule 13D as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by reference herein, and (ii) certain warrants issued on August 18, 2004 and September 23, 2005, the form of which are attached as Exhibit 2 to the Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein. The warrants issued on August 18, 2004 and September 23, 2005 have expired.
