Overview

About KPV.

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is the C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH, retaining most of α-MSH's anti-inflammatory activity but with minimal pigmentary effect. It is particularly studied in mucosal and gut inflammation models.

KPV is commonly used as an adjunct in IBD-type protocols and skin or oral mucosal inflammation; the evidence base is mostly preclinical with growing clinical experience.

Mechanism of action

KPV inhibits the NF-κB inflammatory pathway and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine release (TNF-α, IL-6). It also displays direct anti-microbial activity against several gut-relevant pathogens at micromolar concentrations.

Posology · for information only

Subcutaneous injection, typically 200–500 mcg per day for inflammatory or gut protocols, cycles of 4–8 weeks.
