Compounds of the class diterpenes, sesquiterpenoids, sterols, and triterpenes present in high quantity in myrrha extracts that may serve as electron donors react with free radicals converting them to a more stable product thereby terminating the radical chain reactions. This is a corroborated (Fraternale et al. 2011) research work where they showed myrrha resin hexane extract as having the best DPPH radical scavenging activity unlike to its oils. The same authors made suggestion that the action could be attributed to three compounds, 2-methoxy-furanogermacren-6-one myrrhone and 3-methoxy-furano germacradien-6-oneall of the furano-sesquiterpenoids family. Their DPPH radical scavenging potential had IC 50 values of 1.08, 4.29, and 2.56mg/mL, respectively (Mohamed et al. 2014). Myrrh might lower blood sugar levels.
