Elaeagnus angustifolia L. is one of the most important medicinal fruits which had a lot of secondary metabolites such as phenols and flavonoid and has been used in traditional medicine. The presences of flavonoids, phenols and antioxidant properties have been reported in fruits of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. In this research the ripe fruits of plant were collected from different regions of Shahrood (1000-1400m). The methanol extracts were obtained by maceration, total phenol and flavonoids contents were measured by spectrophotometery and antioxidant activities were analyzed by DPPH method. The results were showed that in higher region (1400m) the fruit extract of plant had the greatest amount of total phenol, flavonoids and antioxidant activity. So we observed that there is the correlation between altitude ot the region with quality and quantities of medicinal metabolites and antioxidant properties.
