Cadrenal Therapeutics Provides Second Quarter

2023 Corporate Update

PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadrenal

Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: CVKD) a biopharmaceutical company developing tecarfarin, a late-stage novel oral and reversible anticoagulant

(blood thinner) to prevent heart attacks, strokes and deaths due to blood clots in patients with certain rare medical conditions, today

provided a corporate update in connection with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

"Over the past few months, it has become increasingly clear that

the opportunity for tecarfarin reaches beyond patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and atrial fibrillation (AFib). A much larger

opportunity exists where Vitamin K antagonists (warfarin) are prescribed, yet are unreliable and have failed to achieve sufficient anticoagulation,"

commented Quang Pham, CEO of Cadrenal Therapeutics. "Based on our clinical data, extensive market research, and insights from key

industry experts, we believe implanted medical devices for heart diseases, such as LVADs, could be a potential additional indication for

There are estimated to be over 14,000 patients in the U.S. with LVADs

who struggle with stable anticoagulation provided by warfarin. Based on Company estimates, this is a potential addressable market opportunity

of approximately $600 million per year in the U.S. The direct-acting oral anticoagulants such as Eliquis and Xarelto are not prescribed

for these patients. Management estimates that the addressable market opportunity for ESKD and AFib is an additional $1 billion per year

Mr. Pham expanded, "Tecarfarin is specifically designed to solve

warfarin's metabolism problem via the cytochrome p450 pathway. Tecarfarin is metabolized via an alternate pathway that is abundant

and essentially insaturable, providing a much more reliable pharmacokinetic profile. Key patient groups that incur irregular blood clotting

could benefit from a new, and potentially more effective and safer, blood thinner like tecarfarin. Unlike other drug categories, such

as cholesterol-lowering and high blood pressure, there have been no other blood thinners on the market since warfarin was approved in

1954. We look forward to advancing tecarfarin to fill what we believe is an important void in the market."

Matthew Szot, CFO of Cadrenal Therapeutics, commented, "We successfully

completed an important private placement financing, which was priced at the market under Nasdaq rules, with an institutional investor.

As of August 14, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.6 million. This raise, coupled with our highly efficient expense management,

has strengthened our balance sheet and provides capital and flexibility to continue to progress our path to regulatory approval and commercialization."

ABOUT CADRENAL THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Cadrenal Therapeutics is developing tecarfarin, a late-stage novel

oral and reversible anticoagulant (blood thinner), to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and deaths due to blood clots in patients with certain

rare medical conditions. Tecarfarin has orphan drug and Fast Track designations for the prevention of systemic thromboembolism (blood

clots) of cardiac origin in patients with end-stage kidney disease, or ESKD, and atrial fibrillation, or AFib. Tecarfarin is specifically

designed to leverage a different metabolism pathway than the oldest and most commonly prescribed Vitamin K antagonist (warfarin) used

in the prevention of thrombosis. Tecarfarin has been evaluated in eleven (11) human clinical trials and more than 1,000 individuals. In

Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 2/3 clinical trials, tecarfarin has generally been well-tolerated in both healthy adult subjects and patients

with chronic kidney disease. For more information, please visit: www.cadrenal.com.

statements." These statements include statements regarding the approach that LVAD patients are a potential additional indication

for tecarfarin, expanding the Company's focus for tecarfarin within patients with implanted medical devices for heart diseases,

the estimated 14,000 patients in the U.S. with LVADs who struggle with stable anticoagulation with warfarin, the estimated addressable

market opportunity of approximately $600 million per year in the U.S., the estimated addressable market opportunity for ESKD and AFib

of approximately $1 billion per year in the U.S. and advancing tecarfarin to fill an important void in the market.

results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including

the ability to advance tecarfarin within patients with implanted medical devices for heart diseases, the ability to penetrate the U.S.

diseases and the other risk factors described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
