Abstract: [Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of developing a catalyst compound which has blood-brain barrier penetration properties and enables the oxygenation of amyloids in a body upon being irradiated with light from the outside of the body and providing a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for amyloid-related diseases using the catalyst compound. [Solution] It is found that a compound having such a framework that an azobenzene-like structure and boron together form a complex is useful as a novel biocatalyst which can selectively oxygenate an amyloid and can prevent the aggregation of the amyloid upon being irradiated with light while significantly reducing the molecular weight of the amyloid. It is also found that the compound can exhibit an oxygenation activity upon the irradiation with light having a longer wavelength which has high tissue penetration properties and has excellent blood-brain barrier penetration properties.
