There is provided a compound having Formula (I) R.sub.1-Z-R.sub.2 wherein
R.sub.1 is a group selected from optionally substituted fused polycyclic
groups, substituted alkyl groups, branched alkyl groups, and optionally
substituted cycloalkyl groups Z is a linker which is or comprises a
carbonyl group or a isostere of a carbonyl group R.sub.2 is selected from
optionally substituted aromatic rings and optionally substituted
heterocyclic rings wherein (a) R.sub.2 is a 2-substituted thiophene
group, and/or (b) Z is a group of the formula
--C(.dbd.O)--CR.sub.3R.sub.4--X--(CR.sub.5R.sub.6)n-, wherein X is
selected from NR.sub.7, S, O, S.dbd.O, and S(.dbd.O).sub.2, wherein n is
0 or 1 and/or (c) R.sub.1 is an adamantyl group and Z is or comprises an
amide group, and/or (d) R.sub.1 is an adamantyl group and Z is or
comprises a group of the formula
--(CR.sub.8R.sub.9)p-NR.sub.10--S(.dbd.O).sub.2--(CR.sub.11R.sub.12)q-,
wherein p is 0 or 1 and q is 0 or 1 and/or (e) R.sub.1 is an adamantyl
group and Z is or comprises a group of the formula
--(CR.sub.13R.sub.14)V--Y--(CR.sub.15R.sub.16)W-- where Y is a heteroaryl
group in which a bond in the heteroaryl ring is a isostere of a carbonyl
group, wherein v is o or 1 and w is 0 or 1; wherein each of R.sub.3,
R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.8, R.sub.9, R.sub.11, R.sub.12,
R.sub.13, R.sub.14, R.sub.15 and R.sub.16, are independently selected
from H, hydrocarbyl and halogen, wherein each of R.sub.7 and R.sub.10 are
independently selected from H and hydrocarbyl.
