High level pharmaceutical decisions

What I would ask a librarian. Are there committees at pharmaceutical companies to decide which syllable and how many get the accent?

rosiglitazone (pronounced row sih GLIH ta zone)

Thiazolidinedione: (Pronounced THIGH-ah-ZO-li-deen-DYE-own.

It would sound and flow better if the final -ne were its own, stand alone syllable, don't you think?
