KPV
Tripeptide derivative of α-MSH with anti-inflammatory research.
What it does
What KPV is and why doctors prescribe it.
KPV is a tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine) derived from the C-terminal of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research focus is on its anti-inflammatory properties, particularly in mucosal and dermal contexts. Under FDA review for 503A access.
How it works
Mechanism in plain English.
α-MSH itself has well-characterized anti-inflammatory effects via melanocortin receptor signaling. KPV captures a fragment of that activity and may also act through receptor-independent intracellular pathways. Research has examined applications in inflammatory bowel conditions and skin inflammation.
How long it's been studied
Research history.
KPV has been studied since the 1980s as part of α-MSH peptide-fragment research. Preclinical and small clinical work has examined its activity in IBD models and inflammatory skin conditions. Cannot currently be compounded under 503A.
Dosing
Clinical context for the prescribing doctor.
Pending regulatory clarity. RonanRx cannot compound KPV until it receives 503A-permissible status.
This page is informational, not a dispensing aid. KPV is dispensed only on a patient-specific prescription written by a licensed doctor for an identified patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and should not be evaluated using branded-drug trial data. Availability varies by state and prescribed medication.
How to access KPV through RonanRx
Three paths.
KPV is currently in Category 2 and not available for 503A compounding. RonanRx is tracking the FDA review and will notify partner clinics when the decision allows compounding access.
