Patients with hypertension must control their blood pressure to avoid complications. In the body, there are components of the renin-angiotensin system, namely the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) which can indirectly increase blood pressure, so the treatment is to inhibit ACE. In this article, the method used is by literature study of several accredited journals that has published from 2012 to 2022. ACE inhibitor class drugs are often used for the treatment of hypertension because they have a mechanism of inhibiting the conversion enzyme peptidyl dipeptidase, so that angiotensin I is not hydrolyzed to angiotensin II and can be contributed for dilating blood vessels as well so that it effectively lowers blood.]]>
