In the title compound [systematic name: 2-hydroxy-N-(5-nitro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)benzamide pyridine monosolvate], C10H7N3O4S·C5H5N, 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 interactions between inversion-related pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.803 (6) Å] are also observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
