Description
- KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring tripeptide fragment derived from the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (Ξ±-MSH). It is studied for its potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, with a strong safety profile observed in preclinical models.
Product Highlights
- Each vial contains 10 mL solution (~100 sprays)
- Each spray delivers 0.1 mL = 100 mcg KPV
- Total KPV Content: 10 mg per vial
- Specialized pharmaceutical-grade nasal solution β designed for comfort and ease on the nose
- Unlike many other nasal sprays on the market, this formula avoids irritation and dryness
- Packaged in Class A, lead-free pharmaceutical glass bottles
- Tamper/Child-Proof Cap + Orifice Reducer for integrity, sterility, and ease of use
Description
KPV is a bioactive tripeptide known for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. It is studied for its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, protect epithelial barriers, and promote healing in models of inflammation, infection, and tissue injury.
Benefits
- Anti-inflammatory β studied for reducing inflammatory cytokine expression (e.g., TNF-Ξ±, IL-1Ξ², IL-6)
- Wound healing β explored for accelerating epithelial repair and collagen synthesis
- Antimicrobial β shows activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens in preclinical studies
- Barrier protection β supports gut, skin, and mucosal integrity under stress conditions
- Safe and stable β exhibits strong safety profile and stability in various formulations
Localized Effects with Nasal Spray
- Rapid uptake through the nasal mucosa
- Direct action on inflammatory and immune-modulating pathways
- Formulated with a specialized isotonic nasal vehicle to minimize irritation and dryness
What Researchers Use It For
- Research in inflammatory bowel disease, dermatitis, and mucosal inflammation models
- Studies on antimicrobial and epithelial barrier protection mechanisms
- Exploration of melanocortin receptor modulation in immune signaling
- Tissue healing and repair under oxidative or inflammatory stress conditions
