Hence, this work was conducted to determine the in vitro anticancer property and also the molecular mechanism of aqueous and organic extracts of Ipomoea purpurea leaves in three human cancer cell lines, including A-549 (human lung cancer), HepG-2 (human liver cancer), MDA-MB-231 (human breast cancer), and MCF-10A (breast normal cell line). In vitro cytotoxic potential of organic extracts, such as hexane, chloroform, ethyl-acetate, methanol, and aqueous extract was examined using a standard (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) MTT method in both monolayer two-dimensional (2D) and spheroids multicellular three-dimensional (3D) cultures. The MTT assay data showed that methanol and chloroform extracts of I. purpurea leaves had the antiproliferative effect on lung and breast cancer cells with IC50 of 53.62\u2009\u00b1\u20090.07 and 124.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.01\u2009\u00b5g\/mL, respectively. The results of further examinations, such as dual acridine orange\/ethidium bromide, Annexin V-FITC\/PI, and caspase-3 colorimetric assay, confirmed that methanol and chloroform extracts of I. purpurea as the most potent cytotoxic extracts might contain a variety of phytochemicals, promoting apoptosis in lung and breast cancer cells. The present research findings suggested that methanolic extract of I. purpurea leaves induced S-phase cell cycle arrest and intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in A-549 lung cancer cells. The study further showed that I. purpurea could be a helpful candidate for cancer treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6666567","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,8]],"date-time":"2021-06-08T21:44:08Z","timestamp":1623188648000},"page":"1-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Anticancer Activity of Ipomoea purpurea Leaves Extracts in Monolayer and Three-Dimensional Cell Culture"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2141-6278","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"F.","family":"Beheshti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center of Biotechnology, Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Semnan 009823, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, School of Medicine, Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Semnan 009823, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5746-9980","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"A.
