SARS-CoV-2 virus invades the host through angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors by decreasing the ACE2 expression of the host. This disturbs the dynamic equilibrium between the ACE/Ang II/AT1R axis and ACE2/Ang (1–7)/Mas receptor axis. Therefore, the clinically approved drugs belonging to (i) angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as captopril, and enalaprilat, (ii) angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) such as losartan, candesartan, olmesartan, azilsartan, irbesartan, and telmisartan and (iii) the combination of ACE inhibitors and ARBs such as losartan with lisinopril and captopril with losartan, and (iv) recombinant ACE2, were studied for their ability to activate ACE2 in different medical conditions including hypertension, inflammation, cardiovascular, renal and lung diseases. These clinically approved drugs were found to activate ACE2 that had been downregulated in different medical conditions including hypertension, inflammation, cardiovascular, renal and lung diseases. Therefore, these drugs may be repurposed to re-activate the downregulated ACE2 of COVID-19 patients. These drugs either alone or in combination may be repurposed as prophylactics and therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 virus invades the host through angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors by decreasing the ACE2 expression of the host.
