Abstract: A compound of the formula (I): wherein: A and B together represent an optionally substituted, fused aromatic ring; D is selected from: (i) ?where Y1 is selected from CH and N, Y2 is selected from CH and N, Y3 is selected from CH, CF and N; and (ii) ?and where Q is O or S; RD is: wherein RN1 is selected from H and optionally substituted C1-10 alkyl; X is selected from a single bond, NRN2, CRC3RC4 and C?O; RN2 is selected from H and optionally substituted C1-10 alkyl; RC3 and RC4 are independently selected from H, R, C(?O)OR, where R is optionally substituted C1-10 alkyl, optionally substituted C5-20 aryl or optionally substituted C3-20 heterocyclyl; Y is selected from NRN3 and CRC1RC2; RC1 and RC2 are independently selected from H, R, C(?O)OR, where R is optionally substituted C1-10 alkyl, optionally substituted C5-20 aryl or optionally substituted C3-20 heterocyclyl; RC1 and RC2 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached may form an optionally substituted spiro-fused C5

Abstract: A compound of the formula (I): and isomers, salts, solvates, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof, wherein: R2, R3, R4 and R5 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-7 alkoxy, amino, halo or hydroxy; n is 1 or 2; RN1 and RN2 are independently selected from H and R, where R is optionally substituted C1-10 alkyl, C3-20 heterocyclyl and C5-20 aryl; or RN1 and RN2, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form an optionally substituted 5-7 membered, nitrogen containing, heterocylic ring; Het is selected from: where Y1 and Y3 are independently selected from CH and N, Y2 is selected from CX and N and X is H, Cl or F; and where Q is O or S.

Abstract: A compound of formula (I): for use in treating cancer or other diseases ameliorated by the inhibition of PARP, wherein: A and B together represent an optionally substituted, fused aromatic ring; X can be NRX or CRXRY; if X=NRX then n is 1 or 2 and if X=CRXRY then n is 1; RX is selected from the group consisting of H, optionally substituted C1-20 alkyl, C5-20 aryl, C3-20 heterocyclyl, amido, thioamido, ester, acyl, and sulfonyl groups; RY is selected from H, hydroxy, amino; or RX and RY may together form a spiro-C3-7 cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl group; RC1 and RC2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1-4 alkyl, or when X is CRXRY, RC1, RC2, RX and RY, together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached, may form an optionally substituted fused aromatic ring; R1 is selected from H and halo; and Het is selected from: where Y1 is selected from CH and N, Y2 is selected from CH and N, Y3 is selected from CH, CF and N, where only one or two of Y1, Y2 and Y3 can be N; and
