Abstract
The present invention relates to novel methods for selective localization of active agents both at and in mitochondria within living cells, as well as corresponding active agents that penetrate through the cell membrane into the cells without further adjuvants and there can be localized both at and in mitochondria. These active agents are substituted with at least one monohydroxy mononitrophenyl rest or monohydroxy dinitrophenyl rest.
