The present invention provides methods and compositions related to the fields of chemoinformatics, chemogenomics, drug discovery and development, and drug targeting. In particular, the present invention provides subcellular localization signals (e.g., chemical address tags) that influence (e.g., direct) subcellular and organelle level localization of associated compounds (e.g., drugs and small molecule therapeutics, radioactive species, dyes and imagining agents, proapoptotic agents, antibiotics, etc) in target cells and tissues. The compositions of the present invention modulate the pharmacological profiles of associated compounds by influencing the compound's accumulation, or exclusion, from subcellular loci such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, vesicles, granules, nuclei and nucleoli and other subcellular organelles and compartments. The present invention also provides methods for identifying chemical address tags, predicting their targeting characteristics, and for rational designing chemical libraries comprising chemical address tags.
本发明提供与化学信息学、化学基因组学、药物发现和开发以及药物靶向相关的方法和组合物。特别地,本发明提供亚细胞定位信号(例如,化学地址标签),其影响(例如,指导)相关化合物(例如,药物和小分子治疗剂、放射性物质、染料和成像剂、促凋亡剂、抗生素等)在目标细胞和组织中的亚细胞和细胞器水平定位。本发明的组分通过影响化合物在线粒体、内质网、细胞质、囊泡、颗粒、细胞核和核仁以及其他亚细胞器和区域等亚细胞位置的累积或排除,调节相关化合物的药理特性。本发明还提供了识别化学地址标签、预测其靶向特性以及合理设计包含化学地址标签的化学库的方法。
