R3 represents an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring selected from the group consisting of the rings corresponding to formulae (a) to (o) below:

in which R7, R7a, Y and Z have the meaning given hereinafter, it being specified that the rings (a) to (o) can optionally bear several R7 groups, which may be identical or different, the total number of such R7 groups being at most equal to the number of substitutable atoms of the ring;
R4 represents an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring selected from the group consisting of the rings corresponding to formulae (p) to (z) and (aa) to (ak) below:

in which R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14 and R15 have the meaning given hereinafter,
R5 represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, an alkyl radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a fluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl radical comprising from 1 to 5 carbon atoms,
R6 represents a hydrogen atom, a —COOtBu radical or a —COOBn radical,
R7 represents an R16 radical, a halogen, —CF 3 , —COR16, —OR16, —NR16R17, —NO 2 , —CN, —SO 2 R16, —SO 2 NR16R17, —NR16COR17, —CONR16R17, —NR16CO 2 R17 or —CO 2 R16,
R7a represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms,
R8 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an —OH, —SH, —CONHOR16, —CONR16OH, —NR16R17, —SO 3 H, —OCOR16, —NHSO 2 R16, —SO 2 NR16R17, —NHCOR16, —CONR16R17, —NR16CO 2 R17, —NHSO 2 NR16R17, —CO 2 R16, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl or tetrazolyl radical,
R9, R10, R11 and R12 are identical or different and are independently chosen from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom and an alkyl, alkoxy, —CF 3 , —OCF 3 , —OH, —NO 2 , —CN, —SO 2 R16, —SO 2 NR16R17, —NR16COR17, —NR16CO 2 R17, —CONR16R17, —COR16 or —CO 2 R16 radical,
or alternatively, when two of the R9, R10, R11 and R12 radicals are in the ortho position on an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring selected from the group consisting of the rings corresponding to formulae (p) to (z) and (aa) to (ak) above, then they can together form, with the bond which links them together, an aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl ring,
R13 and R14 are identical or different and are independently chosen from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, and an alkyl, —CF 3 , —OCF 3 , —OH, —SH, —CN, —SO 2 R16, —SO 2 NR16R17, —NHSO 2 NR16R17, —NR16R17, —NR16CONR16R17, —NR16COR17, —NR16CO 2 R17, —CONR16R17, —COR16 or —CO 2 R16 radical,

or alternatively, when R16 and R17 are borne by the same nitrogen atom, they form a heterocycle having between 3 and 7 ring members and optionally comprising one or two heteroatoms chosen from oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen in addition to the common nitrogen atom by which they are borne, it being possible for said heterocycle to be substituted with an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a —COOR18 group in which R18 represents an alkyl radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms;
