KPV, suggests several potential benefits:
Anti-inflammatory Effects: This is KPV's most studied benefit. It works at a cellular level to inactivate inflammatory pathways, specifically the NF-\(\kappa \)B and MAP kinase cascades, which reduces the production and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-\(\alpha \), IL-1\(\beta \), and IL-6.Gut Health Support: KPV has shown significant promise in treating inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in mouse models. It helps maintain and restore the integrity of the intestinal barrier (preventing "leaky gut") and calms gut inflammation. Wound Healing and Skin Repair: When applied topically, KPV has been shown to accelerate the healing of wounds, including corneal and skin injuries, and improve cosmetic outcomes by modulating collagen turnover and reducing inflammation. It is being explored for use in conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Antimicrobial Properties: KPV exhibits direct antimicrobial and antifungal effects against common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, which can help prevent infections in wounds and other conditions .Immune System Modulation: KPV helps regulate the immune response without causing the significant immune suppression associated with traditional anti-inflammatory drugs like corticosteroids, allowing the body to heal while maintaining its defense functions. Potential in Colorectal Cancer Prevention: Studies suggest that KPV treatment may help decrease the risk of colitis-associated cancer by reducing chronic intestinal inflammation and inhibiting tumorigenesis in a PepT1-dependent manner.
