It acts as a selective serotonin releasing agent and is also a MAOI.[1]
PIA is rumored to be a serotonergic neurotoxin on the account of that being reported to be the case for para-chloroamphetamine.
However, PIA is a much weaker 5-HT neurotoxin than is the case for PCA.[2]
Analogs
5-IAI was an attempt to make a non-neurotoxic analog of PIA.

gollark: > strings prefixed by the length are bad because you cant take a subset of the string by just adding an offset to the pointer and have it be a valid stringWait, you can't really do that anyway with null-terminated ones if you want a subset of fixed length.
gollark: You shouldn't do that. That would possibly cause so many memory issues.
gollark: I mean, to be honest I somewhat agree, it introduces so many convoluted problems and if it wasn't for the fact that many people need Unicode to meaningfully type and such on computers I would probably not want it.
gollark: WHAT.
