Octakis(trimethylsiloxy)silsesquioxane is a cross-linking agent that forms covalent bonds with ethylene diamine and aluminium ions. It has been shown to be active against bacterial species such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. Octakis(trimethylsiloxy)silsesquioxane binds to the calcium carbonate of the cell wall, forming a complex that prevents the bacteria from adhering to surfaces. The fluidity of octakis(trimethylsiloxy)silsesquioxane particles allows them to penetrate the cell membrane and inhibit protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes. Octakis(trimethylsiloxy)silsesquioxane can also be used as an encapsulation agent for drugs in order to prevent their degradation by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract.
