Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for synchronizing at least one computer, having at least one monitoring circuit associated with this computer. The synchronization takes place through at least one transmitted signal (WDS) in the form of a double pulse from the computer (muC) to the peripheral components (PIC1, PIC2), which contain the monitoring circuits. To that end, shortly after the computer (muC) is started up at system start or after an HW reset, the signal (WDS) is sent to the at least one peripheral component (PIC1, PIC2). After this, the upper and lower limit of the signal sequence (WDS) to be regularly transmitted by the computer for the monitoring circuit are tested and therefore the function of the monitoring circuits is tested. As with the synchronization, the testing takes place with a reaction of the monitoring circuits by means of at least one acknowledgement signal (IRS1, IRS2, R).

Abstract: The compound of the invention is a prodrug form of a therapeutic agent linked directly or indirectly to an oligopeptide, which in turn, is linked to a stabilizing group. More generally, the present invention may be described as a new prodrug compound of a therapeutic agent, especially prodrugs comprising an antitumor therapeutic agent, displaying improved therapeutic properties relative to the products of the prior art, especially improved therapeutic properties in the treatment of cancerous tumors and/or in the treatment of inflammatory reactions such as rheumatic diseases. Improved therapeutic properties include decreased toxicity and increased efficacy. Particularly desired are prodrugs which display a high specificity of action, a reduced toxicity, an improved stability in the serum and blood, and which do not move into target cells until activated by a target cell associated enzyme. Prodrug compounds of a marker enabling tumors to be characterized (diagnosis, progression of the tumor, assay of the factors secreted by tumor cells, etc.) are also contemplated. The present invention also relates to the pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound according to the invention and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant or vehicle. Further, a method of decreasing toxicity by modifying a therapeutic agent to create a prodrug is disclosed. Several processes for creating a prodrug of the invention are described. Compounds of the invention include the prodrugs, Suc-ssAla-Leu-Ala-Leu-Dox, Suc-ssAla-Leu-Ala-Leu-Dnr, and Glutaryl-ssAla-Leu-Ala-Leu-Dox. Additionally intermediate compounds, important to the process of preparation of the prodrugs of the invention are claimed.
