The invention discloses a taxane prodrug, which has a structure of Y1-R-Y2, wherein the Y1 and the Y2 are docetaxel or cabazitaxel, R comprises a specific connecting bond for environmental response intumor cells, and the taxane prodrug is generated by carrying out substitution or condensation reaction on a taxane drug and a tumor microenvironment-responsive connecting bond. According to the invention, the prodrug has good anti-tumor activity, can directly release active ingredients in vivo in a hydrolysis or oxidation mode, and can avoid in vivo toxicity caused by direct injection of taxane drugs; the prodrug disclosed by the invention not only has good solubility in water, but also can be self-emulsified in water to form nanoparticles; and the prodrug can be obtained through a single-step reaction method, the yield is high, the preparation cost is low, the stability is high, the safety is good, the requirements of clinical medication are met, the requirements of large-scale industrial production are met, and the prodrug has good market prospects and clinical application value.
