A Inequality in the paper by Kenig, Ponce and Vega

I was trying to read the appendix of the paper by Kenig, Ponce and Vega com/doi/10.1002/cpa.3160460405. The theorem A.8, which states that

Let $\alpha\in (0,1)$ and $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in [0,\alpha]$ with $\alpha = \alpha_1 + \alpha_2$. If $p,p_1,p_2,q,q_1,q_2 \in (1,\infty)$ be such that $\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{p_1}+\frac{1}{p_2}$ and $\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{q_1}+\frac{1}{q_2}$. Then

$||D_x^{\alpha}(fg)-fD_x^{\alpha}g-gD_x^{\alpha}(f)||_{L_{x}^{p}L_{T}^{q}}\leq c ||D_x^{\alpha}f||_{L_x^{p_1}L_T^{q_1}}||D_x^{\alpha}g||_{L_x^{p_2}L_T^{q_2}}$

Now, here, as $\alpha \in (0,1)$, the mentioned inequality involves fractional powers of the operator $D$. My question is if there are any similar inequalities where $\alpha$ can be chosen from $(0,n)$, where $n$ is some natural number greater than $1$. In other words, can one go beyond fractional powers and still have such inequalities? Any insight is highly appreciated
