KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine) corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is not an FDA-approved drug and is sold only as a research chemical.
KPV is the C-terminal alpha-MSH(11-13) tripeptide; on-file CAS 67727-97-3 matches PubChem (also supplied as the acetate salt).
Regulatory status: As of 2026, KPV is not FDA-approved; KPV was nominated for the compounding bulk-substances list and placed in Category 2, but that nomination was later withdrawn by the nominator, with FDA noting a lack of human exposure data (FDA Category 2 page, current as of 04/22/2026).
