Anybody heared of (CKPV)₂ ?

I am looking into KPV and saw that there is a next gen formulation of it with a higher efficacy. Has anybody any experience with it?

Cheers

Is big pharma trying to make a version of KPV they can patent and cash in on?

(CKPV)2: (Ac-Cys-Lys-Pro-Val-NH2)2, similar to α-MSH in structure, is synthesized by inserting a Cys-Cys linker between the two units of KPV.

Interesting.

More or less all the research that is ongoing for KPV involves modifying it to alter it's properties, like various different nanoparticles, or attaching it to a second active agent, or the double KPV mentioned. Obviously there are issues with getting adequate doses of it to the right parts of the gut without it being broken down by digestive enzymes. And presumably it is easier to patent a modified version as well. No evidence any of these customised versions are available, most of the studies are showing it works but I do not see evidence any version of it is getting close to being trialed in humans, so very unlikely to see a grey version.

Topical or intravaginal? No thank you! First I don't have one. Just inject kpv and don't think about it is what I do?

That would worry me, seeing as I do not have one
