## Abstract The availability of human stem cells heralds a new era for modeling normal and pathologic tissues and developing therapeutics. For example, the in vitro recapitulation of normal and aberrant neurogenesis holds significant promise as a tool for de novo modeling of neurodevelopmental and

โฆ Synopsis
Parallel compound synthesis enables large numbers of individual compounds to be prepared simultaneously using semiautomated techniques. This fast and efficient methodology has an important role to play in accelerating lead optimisation and hence the whole drug discovery process. The potential of this strategy to rapidly optimise chemical leads and provide structure-activity relationship (SAR) information was demonstrated in two therapeutic areas, antiviral agents (herpes simplex virus), and neurokinin-2 receptor antagonists.

Extensive automation of both random and rational drug discovery strategies greatly increases the number of compounds entering biological screens. Although parallel synthesis (one compound per well) strategies eliminate the deconvolution step necessary when pooled libraries are screened, parallel syn
