Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CTH)(OTCQX:CYNAF), a specialty
pharmaceutical company developing a convenient and easy to use sublingual (oral)
thin film strip for the acute rescue of "off" motor symptoms of Parkinson's
disease, today announced its results for the nine months ended September 30,
2013. Unless specified otherwise, all amounts are in Canadian dollars.


Anthony Giovinazzo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cynapsus, stated:
"During the third quarter of 2013, we were primarily focused on the
manufacturing of our APL-130277 thin film strips for the Michael J. Fox
Foundation sponsored CTH103 pilot PK healthy volunteer study. This work is now
complete. The CTH103 study is scheduled to be completed in December, and we look
forward to reporting the results in January. The CTH103 study is the next
critical de-risking milestone that we believe will drive significant shareholder
value."

    share consolidation. On March 1, 2013, the Company announced that it
    completed a first closing of a short form prospectus offering of units
    for gross proceeds of $6,008,000. Concurrent with the closing of the
    Offering, the Company and the holders of Series A to E debentures agreed
    to convert $4,030,244 in debt for common shares and warrants. In
    addition, the Company completed a share consolidation of the Company's
    issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) new common
    share for every ten (10) common shares issued and outstanding.

--  Cynapsus raised $1.3 million in second closing of short form prospectus
    offering. On March 21, 2013, the Company announced that it completed a
    second closing of its short form prospectus offering of units for gross
    proceeds of $1,309,160. Total gross proceeds from the First Closing and

    President, Research & Development of Dexcel Pharma ("Dexcel"), and Ilan
    Oren, currently Vice President, Business Development at Dexcel, joined
    its Board of Directors. Following the first closing of the short form
    prospectus offering on March 1st, 2013, the Board of the Company agreed
    to allow Dexcel to nominate two new directors, subject to TSX Venture
    Exchange approval. Dexcel nominated Mr. Gold and Mr. Oren, and the
    Exchange has since reviewed and cleared their Personal Information
    Forms. Dexcel is a strategic investor in the Company and subscribed for
    $3,500,000 for 7,608,696 units of the Offering resulting in current
    ownership of 19.6% and 24.1% of all the issued and outstanding common
    shares of the Company on a basic and fully diluted basis, respectively.
    Dexcel is considered a "Control Person" under the policies of the
    Exchange.

--  Cynapsus published a white paper on apomorphine for "Off" periods in
    Parkinson's Disease and its alternative delivery development candidate
    APL-130277. On May 15, 2013, the Company announced that it had completed
    a white paper providing background clinical information on apomorphine.
    The paper identifies the potential benefits of APL-130277, the company's
    proprietary, patented, sublingual thin-film strip system, specifically
    its ability to deliver apomorphine to patients in a more convenient and
    more well-tolerated manner.

--  Cynapsus began trading on the OTCQX Marketplace in the United States. On
    July 18, 2013, the Company announced that its common shares were
    approved for trading in the United States on the OTCQX marketplace
    ("OTCQX"). Trading commenced immediately on OTCQX International under
    the symbol CYNAF. The Corporation continues to trade on the TSX Venture
    Exchange under its existing symbol CTH.

--  Cynapsus accelerated activities for a comparative biostudy of APL-
    130277. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company continued work on
    manufacturing the thin film strips for the upcoming CTH103 study. CTH013
    will be 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 scheduled to be
    completed in December, with results reported in January 2014. 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
    (CTH201). The Bioequivalence Study is expected to be completed in Q3-
    2014 and will provide the first of two data sets for registration
    purposes.

About Cynapsus Therapeutics

Cynapsus is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing a convenient and easy
to use sublingual (oral) thin film strip for the acute rescue of "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 the only approved drug (in the United
States, Europe, Japan and other countries) to rescue patients from "off"
episodes. Apomorphine is currently primarily available as an injection, which is
inconvenient and painful. Cynapsus is focused on maximizing the value of
APL-130277 by completing pivotal studies in advance of a New Drug Application
("NDA") expected to be submitted in 2016. Cynapsus anticipates a trade sale or
out-licensing to an appropriate global pharmaceutical partner before such an
application is submitted.
