Compounds of formula (I): [wherein: A is a pyrrole ring; R1 is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group; R2 is an optionally substituted nitrogen-containing heteroaryl group; and R3 is formulae (IIa), (IIb) or (IIc), wherein m is 1 or 2, one of D and E is nitrogen and the other is ⊃C(R5)- (wherein R5 is hydrogen, a Substituent ≡ or a Substituent β), B is a nitrogen-containing 4- to 7-membered heterocyclic ring, and R4 is from 1 to 3 substituents from Substituent group ≡, substituent group β and Substituent group η; PROVIDED THAT R?1 and R3¿ are bonded to the two atoms of said pyrrole ring which are adjacent to the atom of the pyrrole ring to which said substituent R2 is bonded; Substituent group ≡ consists of hydroxyl, nitro, cyano, halogen, alkoxy, halogeno alkoxy, alkylthio and halogeno alkythio groups and groups of formula NRaRb (wherein R?a and Rb¿ are hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl and alkylsulfonyl, or R?a and Rb¿, taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a heterocyclyl); Substituent group β consists of optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl groups, and aralkyl and cycloalkyl groups; Substituents group η consists of oxo, hydroxyimino, alkoxyimino, alkylene, alkylenedioxy, alkylsufinyl, alkylsulfonyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted aryloxy, alkylidenyl and aralkylidenyl groups] have excellent activity against the production of inflammatory cytokines.
