Commiphora molmol myrrh resin extracts, which have different physical properties such as polarity and dielectric constant, were prepared by immersion in extraction solvents (hot water, DMSO, hexane, ethanol, methanol). Methanolic extracts showed broad antibacterial activity against isolated airborne bacteria. Furanoeudesma-1,3-diene curzerene, the main terpenoids methanolic extract, analyzed using GC-MS, found to antiviral (81.2% viral RNA inhibition) H1N1 influenza virus. Biochars (wood powder-and rice husk-derived) coated with also (22.6% 24.3% inhibition), due adsorption of onto biochar. Myrrh extract methanol solvent is a promising agent efficacy, it can be utilized novel material via biochar for air filtration processes, cosmetics, fertilizers, drug delivery, corrosion inhibition.
