Oral administration is the most preferred and simplest route, but it is highly challenging due to the numerous barriers in the gastrointestinal tract. To overcome these barriers, nanocarriers have been developed to protect oral drugs. An increased understanding of viral infection has inspired researchers to mimic the viral structures and functions in the design of drug carriers. The virus-inspired nanoparticles (VINs) have been highly optimized based on the viral specific features to enhance the bioavailability of drugs. Herein, we have reviewed the development and design strategies of VINs, as well as a systematic summary for mechanisms and processes of oral absorption and the application of VINs, providing a new perspective on challenges to the clinical translation of oral nano-carriers.
