Abstract
Orobanche L. is a genus of holophrastic flowering plant that has lost its autotrophic properties in favor of a parasitic lifestyle. It belongs to the family Orobanchaceae which comprises 170–200 species of parasitic herbaceous plants mostly native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere. The objectives of this study were analysis of the secondary metabolite products and evaluation of antibacterial activity. The FTIR analysis of Orbanche nana proved the presence of Alkenes, alkyl halides, Amide, and Alkane which shows major peaks at 819.75, 1018.41, 1238.30, 1317.38, 1379.10, 1614.42, 2850.79 and 2920.23. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by determining the zone of inhibition. Maximum zone formation was against Klebsiella pneumonia (5.12±0.23).
