  1. Spectrum analysis at 3 mm of the central region (r≈800 pc) of NGC 4303 showed molecular gas lines of both dense gas tracers (HCN, HNC, HCO+, and C2H) and diffuse gases (13CO and C18O). Molecular gas parameters: H2 mass MH2=(1.75±0.32)×108M☉; radial velocity Vdense=178±60 km s-1, and VCO=151±29 km s-1; HCN luminosity LHCN=(7.38±1.40)×106 K km s-1 pc2; dense gas mass Mdense=(4.7±0.3)×107 M☉, indicating a significant contribution of dense to total molecular gas mass. To explore the AGN nature and central dusty torus of the galaxy, CIGALE was used to fit the integrated spectral energy distribution. Large torus properties are estimated: luminosity LTORUS=(7.1±2.8)×1043 erg s-1 and line of sight inclination of 67±16°, which is consistent with a Type 2 AGN; total infrared luminosity LIR=(3.51± 0.30)×1044 erg s-1; star formation rate SFR=6.0±0.3 M☉ yr-1. A marginal AGN contribution of ≈20% was found.
