title: Tizoxanide pyridine monosolvate.
abstract: IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2-hy-droxy-N-(5-nitro-1,3-thia-zol-2-yl)benzamide pyridine monosolvate], C(10)H(7)N(3)O(4)S·C(5)H(5)N, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzamide rings is 80.55 (7)°. An intamolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs in the tizoxanide. In the crystal, the components are linked by an O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, forming a zigzag chain along the c axis. Aromatic π-π inter-actions between inversion-related pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.803 (6) Å] are also observed.
