An object of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring an object to be measured in a specimen by an enzymatic method, the measurement method being able to suppress the positive influence of peroxide derived from the specimen. More specifically, an object of the present invention is to provide a measurement method and a measurement reagent that can suppress elevation in value regardless of whether or not the specimen is a catalase-free specimen. Provided is a measurement method that can accurately quantify hydrogen peroxide derived from an object to be measured, without influence derived from a specimen, by contacting the specimen with an enzyme in the presence of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by the following general formula (I), a benzimidazole derivative having an electron-donating substituent at position 2, and histidine, wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and each represent hydrogen, a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent, an aryl group optionally having a substituent, or an alkyloxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

The present disclosure relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and use of such compounds in methods of treatment or in medicaments for treatment of inflammatory diseases and certain neurological disorders that are related to inflammatory signaling processes, including but not limited to misfolded proteins.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition or a functional health food comprising a verbenone derivative and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as active ingredients for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease. More specifically, the verbenone derivative according to the present invention reduces neuronal cell death and oxidative stress, and is highly effective in preventing ischemic brain damage and inflammatory cell migration in rats, thereby providing the pharmaceutical composition or the functional health food which is useful in treating neurodegenerative diseases.
