The invention relates to thienopyridazinones of formula (I): wherein:
R.sup.1 is C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.2-6 alkenyl or C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl
which is optionally substituted by C.sub.1-6 alkyl, each of the above
being optionally substituted by one or more halogen atoms; R.sup.2 is
C.sub.1-6 alkyl; R.sup.3 is a group CO--G or SO.sub.2--G where G is a 5-
or 6-membered ring containing a nitrogen atom and a second heteroatom
selected from oxygen and sulphur adjacent to the nitrogen, and optionally
substituted by up to 3 groups selected from hydroxyl and C.sub.1-4 alkyl;
Q is CR.sup.5R.sup.6 where R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are as defined in the
specification; and R.sup.4 is a 5- to 10-membered mono- or bi-cyclic
aromatic ring system, containing 0 to 4 heteroatoms independently
selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur, the ring system being
optionally substituted as described in the specification, and
pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof. Processes for
their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their
use in therapy, in particular in the modulation of autoimmune disease are
also described. ##STR00001##
