How to pronounce“fialuridine”in English

Realizing that this unique protein affects how drugs like fialuridine work have led to some breakthroughs, including creating a woodchuck disease model for hepatitis B.

During the animal model experiments, scientists did know that fialuridine’s mechanism isn’t unique to viral DNA.

It turns out that human liver cells have a unique protein that actually helps drugs like fialuridine get into the mitochondria.

Before testing it on humans, scientists figured that since fialuridine couldn’t get into the animal models’ mitochondria, it would be unlikely to do so in people.
