1. Stearic acid (Cetylacetic acid) can reduce metastatic tumor burden. 2. Stearic acid leads to dramatically reduced visceral fat likely by causing the apoptosis of preadipocytes. 3. Stearic acid and its derivatives have been used as gelators in food and pharmaceutical gel formulations. 4. Stearic acid is a potent phosphatase 1B inhibitor, possibly causing an enhancement in the insulin receptor signaling to stimulate glucose uptake into adipocytes. 5. Stearic acid has the potential to increase dry matter intake and yields of milk and milk components, without affecting conversion of feed to milk, body condition score, or body weight.

Tartaric acid disodium dihydrate (Disodium L-(＋)-Tartrate Dihydrate) is commonly used as a buffer in molecular biology and cell culture.Tartaric acid disodium dihydrate is an acid phosphatase inhibitor that increases the probability of colchicine binding to tubulin1.

Cyclosporine is a calcineurin phosphatase pathway inhibitor, used as an immunosuppressant drug to prevent rejection in organ transplantation.

β-Glycerophosphate disodium salt pentahydrate is a protein phosphatase inhibitor.

Nintedanib (Intedanib) is a triple vascular kinase inhibitor that inhibits VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3 (IC50=34/13/13 nM), FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR3 (IC50=69/37/108 nM), PDGFRα, and PDGFRβ (IC50=59/65 nM). Nintedanib has antitumor activity and inhibits tumor growth by inhibiting angiogenesis.
