CTH Cotec Holdings Corp

Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CTH), developing the only non-injectable
(i.e. sublingual) delivery of the only approved drug (apomorphine) to be used as
a rescue therapy for "off" motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, today
announced its results for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Unless
specified otherwise, all amounts are in Canadian dollars.


Anthony Giovinazzo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cynapsus, stated:
"The first quarter of 2013 was transformative. As previously announced, in March
2013 the Company successfully raised $7.3 million, converted $4 million of debt
to equity, and completed a 10:1 share consolidation. These three achievements
have placed the Company on a much more stable foundation. We are now focused on
the completion of the Michael J. Fox Foundation sponsored CTH103 pilot PK
healthy volunteer study of APL-130277, as well as preparations for an
Investigational New Drug Application to the US FDA for a clinical bioequivalence
(BEQ) study. The CTH103 and BEQ studies are the next critical de-risking
milestones that we believe will drive significant shareholder value. We look
forward to reporting our progress."

Operational Highlights

In the first quarter of 2013, the Company continued work on CTH103, a
placebo-controlled, randomized cross-over Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers to
examine the pharmacokinetic profile of multiple dose strengths of APL-130277 as
compared to equivalent doses of apomorphine subcutaneous injection. The study is
expected to be completed in Q3 2013. The objective of this study is to directly
compare the pharmacokinetic profile of APL-130277 to subcutaneous apomorphine in
healthy subjects in order to more precisely design the subsequent Bioequivalence
Study. The Bioequivalence Study is expected to commence in early 2014.


About Cynapsus Therapeutics

Cynapsus is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing the only
non-injectable (i.e. sublingual) delivery of the only approved drug
(apomorphine) to be used as a rescue therapy for "off" motor symptoms of
Parkinson's disease. Over one million people in the U.S. and an estimated 5
million people globally suffer from Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is
a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease that impacts motor activity,
and its prevalence is increasing with the aging of the population. Based on a
recent study and the results of the Company's Global 500 Neurologists Survey, it
is estimated that between 25 percent and 50 percent of patients experience "off"
episodes in which they have impaired movement or speaking capabilities. Current
medications only control the disease's symptoms, and most drugs become less
effective over time as the disease progresses.


Cynapsus' drug candidate, APL-130277, is an easy-to-administer, fast-acting
reformulation of apomorphine, which is approved in an injection formulation to
rescue patients from "off" episodes. Cynapsus is focused on maximizing the value
of APL-130277 by completing pivotal studies in advance of a New Drug Application
expected to be submitted in 2015. Cynapsus anticipates a trade sale or
out-licensing to an appropriate global pharmaceutical partner before such an
application is submitted.
