In various embodiments a cancer treatment method is provided based on inhibition of proline catabolism. When combined with p53 restoration therapy and/or inhibition of glutaminase, the inhibition of proline catabolism results in a “synthetic lethal” and synergistic anticancer response. Novel suicide inhibitors that induce the degradation of proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) are also provided. Also provided is a method of assaying PRODH to identify responders/non-responders to inhibition of proline catabolism and/or glutaminase.
