High‐content screening of positionalscanninglibraries (PS‐SCLs) represents a promising route for the discovery of biologically relevant compounds. Combined with target identification studies, this strategy successfully enabled the discovery of two pro‐apoptotic compounds from a peptoid PS‐SCL. Despite their high structural similarity, they displayed different mechanisms of action.

A clonogenic neurosphere assay is described that carries out high throughput screens (HTS) to identify potent and/or selective modulators of proliferation, differentiation and/or renewal of neural precursor cells, neural progenitor cells and/or self-renewing and multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs). Compositions comprising the identified modulators and methods of using the modulators and compositions, in particular to treat neurological disorders (e.g. brain or CNS cancer) or damage are also disclosed.
