Compounds of formula (1) are described, wherein q is zero or the integer 1, 2 or 3; R which when present may be attached to any available carbon or nitrogen atom of the bicyclic heteroaromatic ring of formula (1) is an atom or group -L3(Alk3)wL4(R8)u; X is an O atom or a S(O)m atom or group in which m is zero or the integer 1 or 2 or an NR group; Y is a N atom or a CR1a group in which R1a is a group R or a group R1; R1 which may he on any available carbon atom of the bicyclic heteroaromatic ring of formula (1) is a hydrogen atom or a group -Alk1L1CyAlk2L2D; provided that at least one but not both of R1 and R1a is the group -Alk1L1CyAlk2L2D. The compounds are potent inhibitors of the interaction between CCR-3 and it chemokine ligands and are of use in the prophylaxis and treatment of immune or inflammatory disorders in which inhibition of this interaction can have a beneficial effect.
