Let R be a ∗-prime ring with involution ∗ and center Z(R). An additive mapping F:R→R is called a semiderivation if there exists a function g:R→R such that (i) F(xy)=F(x)g(y)+xF(y)=F(x)y+g(x)F(y) and (ii) F(g(x))=g(F(x)) hold for all x,y∈R. In the present paper, some well known results concerning derivations of prime rings are extended to semiderivations of ∗-prime rings.
