Using smiles strings as database keys

I am thinking of using smiles strings as database keys to permit lookups without tracking IDs across various SMILES sources.

Are there any algorithms to compress smiles strings? Given the limited use of the ASCII character set they could be compressed a ton which would help the lookups.

Any suggestions?
