The present invention provides: an assay method that uses a compound represented by formula (I) as a fluorescent probe molecule and that is for detecting the lipid peroxidation suppression activity of a test compound; an assay kit that uses the assay method; a screening method that uses the assay method; and a pharmaceutical composition that is for the treatment, etc. of diseases (such as age-related macular degeneration) that are induced by lipid peroxidation reactions.

Therapeutic drug for lipid-peroxidation-induced diseases and screening method for therapeutic drugs for lipid-peroxidation-induced diseases

A detection reagent for comprehensively detecting an oxidized state and a glycated state of a low-density lipoprotein. While an oxidized low-density lipoprotein and a glycated low-density lipoprotein are detected with a fluolophore-labelled antibody, a lipid radical is detected with a fluorescent nitroxide 2,2,6-trimethyl-4-(4-nitrobenzo[1,2,5]oxadiazol-7-ylamino)-6-pentylpiperadine-1-oxyl (NBD-Pen).

Detection reagents and kit for identifying oxidized state and glycated state of low-density lipoproteins

[Problem] To provide a method of scavenging an unstable radical derived from a lipid and analyzing structures of those radicals. [Means for solution] A fluorescent nitroxide (NBD-Pen) is made to act to scavenge a lipid radical or a fragment radical thereof, and fluorescent detection liquid chromatography (LC/FL) and mass spectrometry (MS) are combined to identify lipid-derived radicals contained in a lipid extract.

Method for detecting a radical compound derived from a lipid and a compound derived from the radical compound

The present invention provides: an assay method that uses a compound represented by formula (I) as a fluorescent probe molecule and that is for detecting the lipid peroxidation suppression activity of a test compound; an assay kit that uses the assay method; a screening method that uses the assay method; and a pharmaceutical composition that is for the treatment, etc. of diseases (such as age-related macular degeneration) that are induced by lipid peroxidation reactions.
