METHODS FOR ENHANCING CYTOTOXIC CANCER THERAPY THROUGH MODULATION OF PURINE BIOSYNTHESIS PATHWAYS

摘要

Disclosed are methods and compositions for treating proliferative cell diseases and disorders such as cancers. Particularly disclosed are methods and composition for treating cancers such as glioblastoma by administering a therapeutic agent that alters the pathways used for purine biosynthesis by inhibiting the biological activity of ARL13B and/or IMPDH proteins in conjunction with additional therapeutic agents such as alkylating agents.
