Were Teddy Roosevelt's antitrust laws able to stand up to challenge due to the interstate commerce provision of the Constitution?

They stood up, but I don't recall what clause of the constitution authorized them. I would assume that the interstate commerce clause would have been the best basis for the legislation, but it's been years since I studied antitrust.
