ACE inhibitors
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors increase the level of ACE2. ACE inhibitors are one of several classes of drugs recommended for the initial treatment of hypertension, and are mainly used for high blood pressure and heart failure.

ACE inhibitors include:
 * Captopril, a sulfur containing inhibitor
 * Benazepril (Lotensiin)
 * Cilazapril (Inhibace)
 * Enalapril (Vasotec, Epaned)
 * Fosinopril, a phosphorus containing inhibitor
 * Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)
 * Moexipril (Univasc)
 * Perindopril (Aceon)
 * Quinapril (Accupril)
 * Ramipril (Altace)
 * Spirapril (Espirapril, Renormax)
 * Trandolapril (Mavik)
 * Zofenopril
