} Why don't you just look in the RBI catalog under 5-HT antagonists and
} find selectivity for 1b?

The RBI catalog gives CGS-12066B for an agonist,and gives the reference
Neale &al in Eur.J.Pharmacol. 136,1 (1987).

It does not give any selective antagonists; only pindolol which blocks
both 5-HT1A and 1B. 

So the question still remains partly unanswered.
