What is KPV (5mg)?

KPV (Lys–Pro–Val) is a synthetic tripeptide derived from the C-terminal region (amino acids 11–13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α‑MSH). It is a potent anti-inflammatory peptide, widely investigated in laboratory research for its ability to modulate inflammatory pathways, support mucosal healing, and regulate immune responses without activating melanocortin receptors [1][2].

Chemical Structure of KPV (5mg)

KPV is a tripeptide composed of Lysine–Proline–Valine (Lys–Pro–Val), with molecular formula C₁₆H₃₀N₄O₄ and molecular weight approximately 342.43 Da (PubChem CID 125672). It is also known by synonyms such as MSH (11–13) and ACTH (11–13). The minimal Lys–Pro–Val sequence retains robust anti-inflammatory function, distinct from larger peptide frameworks [0][22].

What Are the Effects of KPV (5mg)?

Anti-inflammatory Modulation:

Demonstrates reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL‑1β, TNF‑α, and IL‑6 in models of colitis and skin inflammation, often outperforming α‑MSH [1][3]. 

Mucosal Healing & Tissue Repair:

Shown to accelerate recovery of mucosal tissues in gastrointestinal injury, improving epithelial integrity and reducing inflammatory infiltrates [3]. 

PepT1-Mediated Uptake:

KPV is transported intracellularly via the PepT1 transporter in gut and immune cells, enabling potent intracellular anti-inflammatory signaling independent of MC1R activation [1][3]. 

Antimicrobial Activity:

Emerging studies report direct bactericidal effects against pathogens like MRSA when delivered in hydrogel systems in wound and mucosal wound models [1][2]. 

Cancer-Related Inflammation Research:

While attenuating inflammation in colitis models, KPV did not consistently prevent tumor development in genetic cancer models—highlighting selective anti-inflammatory rather than anticancer activity [3][5].
