The invention is directed to physiologically active compounds of formula (I): wherein: R1is hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; X1, X2and X6independently represent N or CR10; and one of X3, X4and X5represents CR11and the others independently represents N or CR10; where R10is hydrogen, amino, halogen, hydroxy, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkylthio, lower alkylsulphinyl, lower alkylsulphonyl, nitro or trifluoromethyl; and R11represents a group —L1—Ar1—L2—Y; and the corresponding N-oxides, and their prodrugs; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates of such compounds and their N-oxides and prodrugs. Such compounds have valuable pharmaceutical properties, in particular the ability to regulate the interaction of VCAM-1 and fibronectin with the integrin VLA-4 (α4β1).
