KPV 10mg

Name: KPV 10mg
Brand: Quanta Pharmaceuticals

An alpha-MSH-derived tripeptide studied for anti-inflammatory action in gut, skin and immune research.

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It retains α-MSH's anti-inflammatory activity while leaving out the parent hormone's pigmentation and other effects, making it a targeted tool for inflammation research. Each vial is supplied at 10mg of lyophilised peptide.

Research Benefits

Anti-inflammatory action — Research shows KPV inhibits inflammatory pathways including NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Gut health research — Studied extensively in models of inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, and intestinal inflammation.
Immune modulation — Demonstrates the ability to regulate immune responses without broad immunosuppression.
Skin health interest — Investigated for wound healing and inflammatory skin conditions.
Antimicrobial properties — Some research indicates activity against certain bacteria and fungi.

How It Works

KPV works primarily by inhibiting NF-κB activation, a key transcription factor that drives the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Because it is derived only from the C-terminal fragment of α-MSH, it retains this anti-inflammatory signalling without affecting melanin production or the parent hormone's other systemic effects.

Research has also shown KPV can enter cells — and even the nucleus — where it interacts directly with inflammatory signalling cascades, an intracellular action considered central to its potent anti-inflammatory profile in research models.
