KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is the active C-terminal fragment of the hormone α-MSH, with potent anti-inflammatory action but without the pigmentary or sexual effects of its parent molecule. It modulates the immune response and reduces inflammation at the cellular level, with particular affinity for the gastrointestinal tract and the skin. It is an emerging alternative for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colitis, atopic dermatitis and acne.

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is the active C-terminal fragment of α-MSH that retains potent anti-inflammatory activity in research models while lacking the pigmentary and sexual effects of the parent hormone, which is why it is studied as a more targeted anti-inflammatory tripeptide. Bionic Pharma supplies it for laboratory research only.
KPV shows particular affinity for the gastrointestinal tract and the skin, so it is investigated in models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colitis and irritable bowel syndrome as well as atopic dermatitis, acne and psoriasis. These are experimental research contexts only and not human-use indications.
The 10 mg vial is reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, yielding 5 mg/mL or 50 mcg per IU. Reference research protocols describe 500 mcg–1 mg subcutaneously, 1–2 times a day for 4–8 weeks, using the universal formula IU = (dose in mcg ÷ 50). These figures are reference values for laboratory work, not dosing advice.
Because KPV acts through an immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory mechanism distinct from growth-factor repair peptides, it is sometimes investigated alongside BPC-157 to explore synergy in leaky-gut and IBD models. Any such pairing is an experimental design choice for controlled research only, and Bionic Pharma provides no medical or human-use recommendations.
