KPV

Dissection of the anti-inflammatory effect of the core and C-terminal (KPV) alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone peptides

J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2003 460 Animal Study

A structure-activity study dissecting which parts of alpha-MSH fragments carry anti-inflammatory signalling. Useful for understanding why KPV became a popular topical-research peptide and what the Lys-Pro-Val sequence actually does.

alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone, MSH 11-13 KPV and adrenocorticotropic hormone signalling in human keratinocyte cells

J Invest Dermatol 2004 440 Research Article

A review of alpha-MSH-derived fragments — including the KPV tripeptide — and their anti-inflammatory effects. Explains how a tiny C-terminal fragment keeps the parent hormone's anti-inflammatory activity while losing pigmentation effects.

Terminal signal: anti-inflammatory effects of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone related peptides beyond the pharmacophore

Adv Exp Med Biol 2010 320 Research Article

A review of terminal anti-inflammatory signalling by alpha-MSH-derived peptides, with emphasis on how KPV-type sequences turn off cytokine cascades. Connects melanocortin research to practical anti-inflammatory peptide design.

Transdermal Iontophoretic Delivery of Lysine-Proline-Valine (KPV) Peptide Across Microporated Human Skin

J Pharm Sci 2017 180 Research Article

A delivery study testing transdermal iontophoresis of the KPV peptide. Relevant to research on getting peptides across skin barriers — the central technical challenge for topical peptide studies — and compares formulation approaches.

Lysine-Proline-Valine peptide mitigates fine dust-induced keratinocyte apoptosis and inflammation by regulating oxidative stress and modulating the MAPK/NF-κB pathway

Tissue Cell 2025 20 Research Article

Airborne particulate matter (PM) poses a major environmental risk that impairs skin health by triggering oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death.. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of Lysine-Proline-Valine (KPV)-an endogenous peptide derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-against oxidative damage and inflammation induced by fine PM (PM10) in human HaCaT.
