title: A QSAR review on melanoma toxicity.
abstract: Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer and is currently attracting our attention particularly in the area of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). In the present review, an attempt has been made to collect the data for different sets of compounds and to discuss their toxicities toward melanoma cells by the formulation of a total number of 36 QSAR.
