Antiproliferative potential of sweetpotato in breast (BT549) and lung (A549) cancer cell lines
Anticancer activities of these extracts showed their ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cell lines, such as BT549 (breast cancer) and A549 (lung cancer), in a concentration-dependent manner. Further studies would help determine the bioactive compounds present in these compounds that produce this effect, but more studies would also help determine whether the extracts could induce apoptosis in BT549 and A549 cancer cells, the mechanism of action, and cell cycle progression.
