Key benefits

  • Calmed gut inflammation in mouse colitis studies
  • Reduced inflammatory signalling in cell studies
  • Small enough to study in oral delivery systems
KPV is a tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine) taken from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It is studied for its anti-inflammatory signalling, mainly in cell and animal models of inflammatory bowel conditions.

What the research reports

Research Benefits of KPV

What published research has reported so far. These are research findings, not promised results.

01

Calmed gut inflammation in mouse colitis studies

02

Reduced inflammatory signalling in cell studies

03

Small enough to study in oral delivery systems

What the evidence shows

KPV's research comes from cell experiments and rodent models, especially mouse colitis, where it reduced inflammatory markers. Some work has tested it inside nanoparticles designed for oral delivery to the colon. It has not been tested in published human trials.

Safety and regulatory position

Not approved · animal data only

KPV is not approved as a medicine in the US or elsewhere and has no established human safety profile. Vendors sell it for laboratory research use only.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

KPV is a three-amino-acid peptide (Lys-Pro-Val) that matches the last three residues of alpha-MSH, a natural hormone involved in inflammation and pigmentation.
