Lovastatin, pravastatin, and other drugs {statin} can lower blood cholesterol and hs-CRP. Simvastatin and atorvastatin (Lipitor) are stronger. Tumstatins are type-IV-collagen fragments, bind to endothelium aVb3 integrin, and promote angiogenesis. Endostatin and angiostatin are similar.

Chlorothiazides and similar drugs {diuretic} can lower blood pressure by excreting blood water.
Enalapril and lisinopil {acetylcholinesterase inhibitor} (ace inhibitor) can lower blood pressure by inhibiting enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine.
