Harpagophytum Procumberzs (commonly called Devil s Claw) is a tuber vegetable that is used for combatting
lower back pain as well as arthritis (both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis). The objectives of this study
were analysis ofthe secondary metabolite products and evaluation of antibacterial activity. The FTIR analysis
of Harpagophytum Procumbens proved the presence of alkyl halides. Alkenes, and Amide which shows
major peaks at 669.30,831.32, 918.12, 1016.49, 1A29.99,1240.23,1608.63, 2358.94, and 3251.98. The
FTIR analysis of (lordia myxa provedthe presence of alkyl halides, Alkenes, Aromatic, Amide, and Alkane
whichshowsmajorpeaks at6693A,684.73,827.46,873.75,927.76,1010.70, 1236.37.1313.52,1417.68,
1604.77,2358.94,2q18.30, and3269.34. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by determining the zone of
inhibition. Maximum zone formation was against Staphylococcus aureus (5.13*0.19) and (6.59*0.21) for
Harpagophytum Procutnbens and Cordia myxa rcspectively.
