ANTI-INFLAMMATORY · MSH FRAGMENT · 3 AA
also: Lys-Pro-Val · alpha-MSH (11-13) · KPV tripeptide
KPV is the three-residue carboxy-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, studied mainly as a gut-targeted anti-inflammatory in cell culture and rodent colitis models. The mechanistic work is coherent and reproducible but no human clinical trial has been published.
// our evidence grade — unedited
A clean and reproducible anti-inflammatory mechanism in cell culture and rodent colitis models has never been tested in a single published human trial, and FDA has stated it lacks important safety information for the substance.
We grade this compound and we sell it. The grade is set against our published criteria before any stocking decision and is not adjusted because it is in the catalogue.
