Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating cancer using inhibitors of protein kinases. The inhibitors of protein kinases are combined with agents that inhibit a cellular ATP synthetic pathway. Inhibitors of ATP synthesis include inhibitors of de novo purine biosynthesis, inhibitors of the salvage pathway of ATP biosynthesis, and inhibitors of the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase.
