Let D be a nonzero derivation of a noncommutative prime ring R, and let U be the subring of R generated by all [D(x), x], x ∞ R. A classical theorem of Posner asserts that U is not contained in the center of R. Under the additional assumption that the characteristic of R is not 2, we prove a more general result stating that U contains a nonzero left ideal of R as well as a nonzero right ideal of R.
