The invention relates to thienopyrimidinediones of formula (1) wherein
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represent a C.sub.1-6alkyl,
C.sub.3-6alkyl, C.sub.3-6alkenyl, C.sub.3-5cycloalkylC.sub.1-3alkyl or
C.sub.3-6cycloalkyl; each of which may be optionally substituted by 1 to
3 halogen atoms 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; the ring being
substituted by at least one group as defined in the specification, Q is
CR.sup.4R.sup.5 where R.sup.4 is hydrogen, fluorine or C.sub.1-6 alkyl
and R.sup.5 is hydrogen, fluorine or hydroxy; and Ar is a 5-10-membered
aromatic ring system wherein up to 4 ring atoms may be heteroatoms
independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur, the ring system
being optionally substituted by one or more groups defined in the
specification; as well as pharmaccutically acceptable salts and solvates
thereof. Processes for their preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical
compositions containing them and their use in therapy, in particular in
immunosuppressive therapy are also described ##STR00001##
