Provided is a tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) and/or indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor compound for use in medicine, which compound comprises the following formula:
wherein X
2
, X
4
, X
10
, and X
11
may be the same or different and each is independently selected from C and N; X
1
, X
3
, X
5
, X
6
, X
7
, X
8
, and X
9
may be the same or different and each is independently selected from C, N and O; each bond having a dotted line may independently be a double bond or a single bond, provided that valencies at each atom are maintained; the dotted lines joining X
4
with the carbon atoms either side of X
2
are single bonds, and are only present when X
2
is absent, X
3
is absent and X
4
is C, and when these bonds are present the ring carbons on each side of X
2
are not directly bonded to each other; each R
1
may be present or absent and may be the same or different and is selected from H and a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, provided that the number of R
1
groups present is such that the valency of X
1
is maintained; each R
12
, R
13
, R
13′
, R
14
, R
15
and R
15′
may be present or absent and may be the same or different and each is independently selected from H and a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, provided that the number of such R groups present is such that the valency of the ring carbon atoms is maintained; R
16
may be present or absent and is selected from H and a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, provided that the number of R
16
groups present is such that the valency of X
2
is maintained; each R
17
may be present or absent and may be the same or different and is independently selected from H and a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, provided that the number of R
17
groups present is such that the valency of X
3
is maintained; each R
2
, R
3
, R
4
, and R
5
may be present or absent and may be the same or different and is selected from H and a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, provided that the number of such R groups present is such that the valencies of X
6
, X
7
, X
8
, and X
9
are maintained; each R
7
, R
8
and R
9
may be present or absent and may be the same or different and is selected from H and a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, provided that the number of such R groups present is such that the valencies of X
10
, X
11
, and X
5
are maintained; and R
6
is selected from H and a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, preferably H and a substituted or unsubstituted C
1
-C
6
alkyl group; and wherein any R group may form a ring with any other R group on an adjacent and/or proximal atom.
