Abstract: A method of treatment of a disease of the human or animal body mediated by PARP comprising administering to such a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula: or an isomer, salt, solvate, chemically protected form, and prodrug thereof, wherein: A and B together represent an optionally substituted, fused aromatic ring; RC is represented by -L-RL, where L is of formula: —(CH2)n1-Qn2-(CH2)n3— wherein n1, n2 and n3 are each selected from 0, 1, 2 and 3, the sum of n1, n2 and n3 is 1, 2 or 3 and Q is selected from O, S, NH, C(?O) or —CR1R2—, where R1 and R2 are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen or optionally substituted C1-7 alkyl, or may together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a C3-7 cyclic alkyl group, which may be saturated (a C3-7 cycloalkyl group) or unsaturated (a C3-7 cycloalkenyl group), or one of R1 and R2 may be attached to an atom in RL to form an unsaturated C3-7 cycloalkenyl group which comprises the carbon atoms to which R1 and R2 are a

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula I: ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents cycloalkyl, aralkyl, heterocyclic aryl, or substituted phenyl, in which the substituents on the phenyl group are one or more of the following groups, that is halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4), alkyl (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4), nitro, dialkylamino or methylenedioxy;R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, or together with the group R.sub.1 and the adjacent carbon atom represents a cycloalkyl group with 3 to 7 carbon atoms inclusive;R.sub.3 represents a group R.sub.5 CO--, or R.sub.5 CH(OH)-- in which R.sub.5 is methyl or ethyl;R.sub.4 is an alkyl group (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) or a phenyl group; and in which where R.sub.4 is alkyl, R.sub.3 and R.sub.
