About Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc.
Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with a mission
to develop novel and differentiated biopharmaceutical products that bridge critical gaps in current acute and chronic anticoagulant therapy.
We bridge these gaps by developing novel and differentiated anticoagulants, or blood thinners, designed to provide greater predictability,
increased stability, more precise control, and fewer bleeding complications. We currently have two clinical-stage assets: tecarfarin,
an oral vitamin K antagonist (VKA) for chronic use, and frunexian, a parenteral small-molecule Factor XIa antagonist for use in acute
hospital settings. By targeting underserved patient populations and advancing therapies designed for both chronic and acute use, we aim
to reshape standards of care in anticoagulation. For more information, visit https://www.cadrenal.com/
