Let R and F be arbitrary associative rings. A mapping φ of R onto F is called a multiplicative isomorphism if φ is bijective and satisfies φ（xy） = φ（x）φ（y） for all x, y ∈ R. In this short note, we establish a condition on R, in the case where R may not contain any non-zero idempotents, that assures that φ is additive, which generalizes the famous Martindale＇s result. As an application, we show that under a mild assumption every multiplicative isomorphism from the radical of a nest algebra onto an arbitrary ring is additive.
