Glutamic acid diethyl ester is a derivative of the amino acid glutamic acid. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water and ethanol. Glutamic acid diethyl ester is often used as a building block for the synthesis of peptides and other organic compounds. It can be synthesized by the reaction of glutamic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. Glutamic acid diethyl ester has been shown to have a number of biological effects, including the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It is also being studied as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The importance of this compound lies in its versatility as a starting material for organic synthesis and its potential therapeutic applications. Research on glutamic acid diethyl ester is driven by its potential to be used in the development of new drugs and other useful compounds.'

| Tinnitus A nonspecific symptom of hearing disorder characterized by the sensation of buzzing, ringing, clicking, pulsations, and other noises in the ear. Objective tinnitus refers to noises generated from within the ear or adjacent structures that can be heard by other individuals. The term subjective tinnitus is used when the sound is audible only to the affected individual. Tinnitus may occur as a manifestation of COCHLEAR DISEASES; VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; and other conditions. | 0 | 3.29 | 2 | 0 |

| Muscle Spasticity A form of muscle hypertonia associated with upper MOTOR NEURON DISEASE. Resistance to passive stretch of a spastic muscle results in minimal initial resistance (a free interval) followed by an incremental increase in muscle tone. Tone increases in proportion to the velocity of stretch. Spasticity is usually accompanied by HYPERREFLEXIA and variable degrees of MUSCLE WEAKNESS.
