Abstract: The present invention is related to a compound that includes a lysosomal enzyme and a targeting moiety, for example, a compound that includes iduronate-2-sulfatase conjugated to Angiopep-2 through a linker formed by specific click chemistry reactions. In certain embodiments, these compounds, owing to the presence of the targeting moiety, can cross the blood-brain barrier or accumulate in the lysosome more effectively than the enzyme alone. The invention also features pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and methods for treating lysosomal storage disorders (e.g., mucopolysaccharidosis Type II) using such compounds.
