In vitro, the AICAR reduced Dox-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation by activating the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway.

In addition, an in vitro model of Dox-induced cardiomyocyte injury was established by using H9c2 cells.
Cells were treated with 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR, AMPK activator) and 2-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (LY294002, PI3K inhibitor), and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, proliferation, as well as the activity of PI3K/AKT pathway were evaluated.
