{"slug":"kpv","title":"KPV: Gut-Specific Anti-Inflammatory","body":"## Overview\nKPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).\n\n## Mechanism\nKPV is transported into intestinal epithelial and immune cells via the PepT1 transporter (mechanistic, human cell lines). It inhibits NF-κB and MAP kinase pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion without broad systemic immunosuppression (mechanistic).\n\n## Preclinical Evidence\nIn two murine models of colitis (DSS- and TNBS-induced), oral KPV reduced histologic inflammation, colon shortening, and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (preclinical, mouse studies; Kannengiesser et al. 2008; Dalmasso et al. 2008).\n\nNo large-scale human clinical trials for KPV exist (absence of human data; multiple sources as of 2026). A related tripeptide K(D)PT showed signals in one phase 2 UC trial, but this is distinct.\n\n## Repair Framing\nKPV calms gut lining inflammation locally via epithelial uptake, distinct from systemic immune suppression (mechanistic/preclinical).\n\n## Limitations\nAll proposed gut benefits derive from cell culture and rodent models; human safety, dosing, and efficacy data are absent.","register":"source_ledger","tags":["peptide","kpv"],"category":null,"style":{},"claims":[{"id":"c1","text":"KPV is transported into intestinal epithelial and immune cells via the PepT1 transporter and inhibits NF-κB and MAP kinase pathways","section":"Mechanism","tier":"preclinical","source_ids":["s1"],"source_status":"sourced","why_material":"Core mechanism for gut-specific action"},{"id":"c2","text":"In DSS- and TNBS-induced murine colitis models, oral KPV reduced histologic inflammation, disease activity, and cytokine expression","section":"what_is_known","tier":"preclinical","source_ids":["s2","s3"],"source_status":"sourced","why_material":"Primary animal data separating from human"},{"id":"c3","text":"Commercial vendors and clinics market this compound (13 commercial/clinic sources catalogued) — marketing material, not evidence.","section":"who_claims_what","tier":"speculative","source_ids":["s4","s5","s31","s34","s35","s38","s39","s49","s56","s59","s79","s9","s10"],"source_status":"sourced","why_material":"Collapsed 14 duplicate marketing claims"},{"id":"c7","text":"Not medical advice.
