para-Iodomethamphetamine (PIMA), also known as 4-iodo-N-methylamphetamine (4-IMA) or as D-9, is a monoaminergic drug of the amphetamine family related to para-chloroamphetamine (PCA). [1] [2] It is the N-methyl analogue of para-iodoamphetamine (PIA). [1] [2] The drug is active in producing behavioral effects in animals, including hallucinogen-like effects. [2] However, it is unclear whether these effects actually represent hallucinogenic reactions. [2] PIMA does not appear to have been assessed, but other para-halogenated amphetamines, such as PCA, are known to act as monoamine releasing agents and as monoaminergic neurotoxins. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] They have not proved to be psychedelic in humans. [8] PIMA was studied by Joseph Knoll and colleagues in the 1960s or 1970s. [2]
