These beneficial effects may be due to the antioxidant components of olive leaves, especially oleuropein. Oleuropein containing extracts are used in many supplements for different pharmacological activities. In this study, oleuropein amounts of olive leaves from seven different localities of North Cyprus were investigated by HPLC. Olive leaves were extracted by methanol according to European Pharmacopoeia’s method. Oleuropein amounts of the extracts were calculated by reversed phase HPLC with PDA. Buyukkonuk and Guzelyurt samples contain the highest amount of oleuropein, followed by Tatlisu, Dipkarpaz, Lapta, Zeytinlik and Lefke.Keywords : Olea europea, oleuropein, HPLC
