Fluorescently tagged drug molecules can be successfully employed to visualize the location of their receptor target at the single-cell level. Furthermore, if their binding to the receptor is reversible, one can now obtain detailed pharmacological information such as affinity using single-molecule detection techniques. When coupled to the growing exploitation of fluorescence-based readouts in high throughput and high content screening, it is clear that fluorescent molecules offer a safer, more powerful and more versatile alternative to radioligands in molecular pharmacology and drug discovery. GPCR pharmacology has benefited enormously from the application of fluorescence-based technologies and we now possess a much greater understanding of this receptor family's basic molecular mechanisms of action through the careful design and judicious use of fluorescent peptide and small-molecule-based ligands.
