However, wound healing property of this plant has not been investigated. &lt;strong&gt;Objective&lt;/strong&gt;: The present study was designed to evaluate wound healing and antimicrobial activities of &lt;em&gt;C. inerme&lt;/em&gt; leaves using the &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;model with Human keratinocytes (HaCaT). &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Cytotoxicity and wound healing effects were determined by MTT and scratch wound healing assay. Antimicrobial activities against cutaneous flora and clinical isolates of bacteria were investigated by broth microdilution assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that the water extract of &lt;em&gt;C. inerme&lt;/em&gt; leaves did not exhibit cytotoxic effects on HaCaT cells, while ethanol extracts at higher concentrations significantly decreased cell growth with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 386.8 ± 87.1 μg/mL. The water extract and the lowest concentration (6.25 μg/mL) of the ethanol extract significantly increased percentage of wound closure compared with the untreated group. The water and ethanol extracts of &lt;em&gt;C. inerme&lt;/em&gt; displayed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity, inhibiting growth of Staphylococcus aureus, &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus.epidermidis,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli,&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa.&lt;/em&gt; The water extract displayed remarkable activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus with MIC and MBC values ranging from 0.39 to 1.56 μg/mL. Notably, it provided stronger antibacterial activity than vancomycin and also showed antifungal activity against&lt;em&gt; C. albicans. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study confirms the potential of &lt;em&gt;C. inerme &lt;/em&gt;leaves for wound healing and antimicrobial therapy and supports the continued utilization of &lt;em&gt;C. inerme&lt;/em&gt; leaves in traditional medicine. Further studies are needed to clarify the molecular mechanisms through which it exerts such biological effects.&lt;/p&gt;
