COR Cortex Pharmaceuticals,

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: COR), a neuroscience company focused on developing novel AMPAKINE� drug therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders, will web cast presentations from its annual shareholder meeting scheduled for Friday, June 5, 2009, at 10:30 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time, at the Hyatt Regency Irvine, 17900 Jamboree Road, Salon E, first floor, in Irvine, California.

The meeting will begin with the formal voting on the issues set forth in the proxy statement. In the informal part of the meeting, Dr. Mark A Varney, President and CEO will update shareholders on recent organizational restructuring, progress on partnering discussions, and clinical and preclinical study developments. Pre-clinical study results have demonstrated that Cortex�s Phase II AMPAKINE molecules CX717 and CX1739 could be useful in the development of treatment for sleep apnea, respiratory depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and significant improvement in models of memory and cognitive loss. In the current issue of the journal Anesthesiology, the mechanism by which CX717 prevented or rescued animals from opiate-induced respiratory depression can be found in an article published by Dr. John Greer and his colleagues, entitled; �Ampakine CX717 Protects against Fentanyl-induced Respiratory Depression and Lethal Apnea in Rats.� The web link for this publication can be found below. Cortex has already demonstrated in human subjects that oral CX717 can prevent respiratory depression caused by an intravenous infusion of Alfentanil (this manuscript has been submitted for publication). Finally, Cortex currently has a pilot study evaluating the effects of oral CX1739 in patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea underway at a clinical testing site in the UK.

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Cortex, located in Irvine, California, is a neuroscience company focused on novel drug therapies for treating psychiatric disorders, neurological diseases and brain-mediated breathing disorders. Cortex is pioneering a class of proprietary pharmaceuticals called AMPAKINE compounds, which act to increase the strength of signals at connections between brain cells. The loss of these connections is thought to be responsible for memory and behavior problems in Alzheimer�s disease. Many psychiatric diseases, including schizophrenia, occur as a result of imbalances in the brain�s neurotransmitter system. These imbalances may be improved by using the AMPAKINE technology.
