methylprednisolone = prednisolone (opaque) = methyl + prednisolone

Methylprednisolone breaks into methyl ('small chemical part') and prednisolone, which is a steroid medicine related to cortisone. So the name shows it is a steroid drug with a small chemical change used to 'reduce inflammation' and 'calm the immune system'.
