It also showed an immunosuppressive role as well as antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory activity. Although this plant is widespread, there are few studies about its medical applications. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;This study was done to explore the anticancer activity of this plant. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The aerial parts of the plant were dried, grinded and extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The extracts were applied in different concentrations to cell cultures of breast (MCF-7), colon (HT-29), prostate (PC-3) and colorectal (CaCo-2) cell lines and fibroblast (MRC- 5) was used as a control. The anticancer activity was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2- yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) reduction assay that was measured by spectrophotometer. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results showed that methanol extract significantly (p&amp;lt;0.05) have the highest inhibitory activity on MCF-7, HT-29, PC-3, and CaCo-2 with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; (25.52 μg/ml), (17.37 μg/ml), (25.77 μg/ml), (24.49 μg/ml), respectively. Followed by ethyl acetate extract that moderately inhibit cell growth of PC-3 and CaCo-2 with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; (28.99 μg/ml) and (21.45 μg/ml), respectively. n-hexane extract showed no significant inhibitory effect on all cell lines; IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; (125.52 -152.34 μg/ml) when compared to Tamoxifen drug activity as a positive control. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Results of this study showed the anticancer activity of the plant extracts in four different kinds of cancers that need further study.&lt;/p&gt;
