No, not in of itself. Eventually enough heat can break down oils, ie oxidize and make the oils less stable, with all kinds of by-products, some acidic in nature - especially if the oil is further abused, but not immediately and the heat doesn't go directly and reduce the TBN, if that's what you are asking.
 
Coolant can destroy oil in very short order. Also, too little oil in crankcase will do extensive damage too.
