Vitamin D is a membrane antioxidant: thus Vitamin D3(cholecalciferol) and its active metabolite 1,25‐dihydroxycholecalciferol and also Vitamin D2(ergocalciferol) and 7‐dehydrocholesterol (pro‐Vitamin D3) all inhibited iron‐dependent liposomal lipid peroxidation. Cholecalciferol, 1,25‐dihydroxycholecalciferol and ergocalciferol were all of similar effectiveness as inhibitors of lipid peroxidation but were less effective than 7‐dehydrocholesterol; this was a better inhibitor of lipid peroxidation than cholesterol, though not ergosterol. The structural basis for the antioxidant ability of these Vitamin D compounds is considered in terms of their molecular relationship to cholesterol and ergosterol. Furthermore, the antioxidant ability of Vitamin D is compared to that of the anticancer drug tamoxifen and its 4‐hydroxy metabolite (structural mimics of cholesterol) and discussed in relation to the anticancer action of this vitamin.
