KPV- Summary
- Bronchogen is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is a tissue-specific bioregulator designed for the bronchi and lungs, promoting normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function. Research suggests benefits for respiratory health, protection against pulmonary aging, and support for bronchopulmonary conditions.
- KPV is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory tripeptide derived from the C-terminal of alpha-MSH. It powerfully suppresses intestinal and systemic inflammation via melanocortin receptors, making it valuable for IBD, gut healing, and wound repair.
- Half-Life
- Short (minutes to hours); bioregulator effects are gene-mediated and longer lasting
- Short half-life (~15–30 minutes), but effects persist longer due to receptor-level anti-inflammatory cascades
