KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring tripeptide derived from the C-terminus of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), demonstrating significant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. In preclinical and
clinical studies, KPV shows protective effects in reducing severity of inflammatory conditions including dermatitis, psoriasis, colitis, and ocular inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory potency is robust, modulating the inflammatory microenvironment through multiple mechanisms without significant cytotoxicity or immunosuppressive effects. Additionally, KPV has drawn attention for its potential tissue-protective and antioxidant properties.
KPV exerts anti-inflammatory effects through multiple pathways. It activates melanocortin receptors (MCRs), subsequently inhibiting NF-κB signaling nuclear translocation and reducing transcriptional levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, while upregulating anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 expression. Furthermore, KPV inhibits excessive activation of neutrophils and macrophages, reducing oxidative stress damage at inflammatory sites. In autoimmune inflammatory models, KPV demonstrates negative regulation of effector T cell proliferation and differentiation, promoting establishment of local immune tolerance environments.
