KPV for airway inflammation Research published in the journal Biological Chemistry demonstrated that KPV and its related melanocortin peptide gamma-MSH suppress NF-kB signaling in airway epithelium through two distinct mechanisms: inhibition of p65 nuclear import (KPV) and epithelial MC3R activation (gamma-MSH)
Unfortunately, the native hormone, -MSH, was found to be too unstable in vivo to be used as a therapeutical agent
Mechanistic plausibility does not guarantee a predictable, beneficial outcome in a given patient, and clinicians should frame the combination as biologically interesting rather than clinically proven
