In this study, the stability constants of the cobalt(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and copper(II) complexes of finasteride were determined potentiometrically by using Irving-Rossotti and Calvin-Bjerrum methods and supported by spectrophotometric way [1-3]. The evaluated protonation constant of finasteride was found as logK=2,21. Potentiometrically the logarithms of the stability constants of the finasteride-metal complexes were found by Calvin-Bjerrum and Irving-Rossotti methods: for cobalt(II) complex logK=3,01; for zinc(II) complex logK=2,82; for cadmium(II) complex logK=3,04 and for copper complex logK=2,85 at 25 degrees C (I=0,10). Conditional formation constants of the complexes were calculated and pH ranges of the complexation were found.
