What is KPV peptide used for?

KPV is a small anti-inflammatory tripeptide derived from a fragment of alpha-MSH, studied mostly in preclinical, cell, and animal models for gut inflammation and skin conditions. This site's review found no published human trial for it. In April 2026 the FDA removed it from the Category 2 compounding list, and a July 2026 advisory vote split 8 to 6 in favor of recommending it for compounding, against the FDA reviewers' own view.
